Reading Discussion: The Second Shift by Arlie Hochschild
Event Actions
In honor of International Women’s Day, join Dean Rudolph for a Dean’s Circle discussion of The Second Shift, a groundbreaking work of social science by Arlie Hochschild.
Hochschild’s The Second Shift poses a critical question: How do two-earner households manage wage work, kinwork, and housework? Are things truly equal? This influential book introduced the term “second shift” to describe the challenges faced by working women balancing careers and domestic responsibilities.
Register in advance. Lunch will be provided.
This event is open to students in the Honors College only.
