The Event

Please join us at the inaugural Work and Family Researchers Network Virtual Conference Series New Book Showcase! This event features new books from leading work-family scholars, focusing on three family challenges at the intersection of everyday, invisible labor and inequality: the mental load, dual-professional couples, and school choice inequality. Each author will present an overview of their book with a panel discussion to follow. This event is free and open to the public. Learn more about the featured authors and their books below:
