New from the Sloan Work and Family Research Network:
- The final issue of the Network News: Featuring an interview with Stephen Sweet on the Anticipated and Unanticipated Consequences of Work-Family Policy: Insights from International Comparative Analysis and the International Corner with Siyka Kovacheva on Work and Family in Bulgaria.
- This is my last What’s New in Work and Family blog, as we wind down the operations of the Sloan Network in preparation for the transition to the new Work and Family Researchers Network (WFRN) next month. September blog posts will focus on the features available on the new website of the WFRN. Once the new website is operational, we will close the blog. Thank you to all our readers and contributors!
- We encourage you to stay current with the latest work and family news by getting involved with the new WFRN. When we launch our new website next month, you will be able to get and share the latest news, learn about and post upcoming events, find archived Sloan Network resources and join as a member. Later in the fall, you will be able to access and contribute content to our work and family open access repository.
