About
me
My research on how people balance work and family is the fieldwork for my thesis. I went to South Florida for 6 months to study how home-workers balance work and family, and the study later expanded to include other types of work and senior citizens.The research focused on how people (parents and women in particular) manage to integrate the demands of a job with the responsibilities of having a family.
This focus was based on an interest in how work and family as institutions have changed since the industrialization and how the locus of family (and at times work); the home has changed its meaning over time.
I am in the process of analyzing my empirical material at the moment. As threads begin to fit together and I get it in writing I will add the results to this page.
Please take a moment to fill out the short survey; Balancing Work and Family - the survey.
