Yanilsa Frias (Business Administration and Marketing Communication Class of 2015) published her research on the reasons why fathers do not take parental leave on the website in One Million for Work Flexibility.

Frias read over 45 articles and book chapters in the process of writing this editorial, documenting that fathers do not take leave for two primary reasons.  First, like working mothers, working fathers in the United States commonly cannot afford to take leave or the leave options are simply unavailable.  Second, when fathers do take leave, it can be penalized.  Fathers and mothers share similarities in these respects, but gender roles shape the different responses that men and women take in response to work-family tensions.

This work was performed in Stephen Sweet’s sociology course “Work and Family.”

Alessandra Tantawi (Sociology Class of 2015) published her research on outmoded ways of thinking about work and careers on the website One Million for Workplace Flexibility.  Alessandra read over 45 articles and book chapters in the process of writing this editorial, concluding that the way we think about ideal workers— uninterrupted, undistracted, long hours, constant availability—does not match what today’s worker brings to her or his job.  She advocates that we rethink both workplace policies as well as attitudes towards work. Her research was performed in Stephen Sweet’s sociology course “Work and Family.”  Read Alessandra’s article here: http://www.workflexibility.org/todays-ideal-worker-yesterdays/.
