D.W. Livingstone is Professor Emeritus and Past Canada Research Chair in Lifelong Learning and Work in the Department of Social Justice Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. He worked at OISE from 1969 until retiring from graduate teaching in 2010 and has continued an active research agenda since that time. This site is intended to provide an overview of his research projects, publications and other resource materials that may be of use to other researchers and interested publics.
His most important book, TIPPING POINT FOR ADVANCED CAPITALISM: CLASS, CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS AND ACTIVISM IN THE "KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY", was published by Fernwood Publishing in late 2023. TPAC is a pathbreaking study of the changing class makeup of the Canadian, other G7 and Nordic labour forces since the 1980s, documenting especially the rise of non-managerial professional employees. The book provides unprecedented tracking of the links between employment classes and higher levels of class consciousness, including the often hidden political consciousness of corporate capitalists as well as the extent of oppositional and revolutionary consciousness among non-managerial workers. The large differences exposed between class conscious capitalists and these non-managerial workers on issues of poverty reduction and global warming reveal the strategic roles these key class agents play in actions to defend or transform advanced capitalism. The most concerted evidence-based study to bring class back into grasping the intimately linked ecological, economic and political crises we now face.
The TPAC book cost is $34, available for order:

The Olympic Games: A Critical Approach
About this ebook
Do the Olympic Games really live up to their glowing reputation? As the biggest global sport mega-event, the Olympics command public attention, while Olympic mythology obscures their underlying function as a profit-making business. Unlike terms such as 'Olympic movement' and 'Olympic family', the concept of 'Olympic industry' focuses on sport as an economic and political enterprise, with its beneficiaries including sponsors, media rights holders, developers, and politicians. Negative impacts on host cities disproportionately threaten the lives and well-being of disadvantaged minorities. Citizens' Olympic resistance campaigns address a range of human rights abuses, while recent athlete activism also focuses on the doping problem and the sexual abuse of girls and women. Female athletes with 'differences of sexual development' face discriminatory gender policies that disqualify them from women's events. All of these issues are analysed through a feminist, anti-racist lens.
