Planned Offering: Spring 2012 and alternate years

Surveys research and theory in the growing area of work-family studies. Explores how work and family life interconnect and influence each other and the implications of these linkages for women, men, children, employers, the community and society. Examines how gender, social class, family structure, poverty, and race and ethnicity affect individuals’ ability to manage work and family. Topics will include work-family conflict, single-parent families, dual-career families, childcare and eldercare issues, international perspectives on work and family, and changing attitudes towards work-life integration. Private and public policy initiatives will be reviewed.Cintron.
