In September 2011, Kershaw started a weekly column in the Vancouver Sun. The column is titled “Think like a Beaver” and generally is published on Mondays. Copies of the column are linked to this page. Thanks to Postmedia Group for granting copyright to reproduce the material on my academic website and blog. While this page provides an archive for the columns as they appeared in print, I also post versions of the columns as weekly blogs on the New Deal for Families site.
