Fem2.0 blog radio has its first ever program next Monday at 11:30 AM EST, on TalkShoe, here, with BlogHer Co-Founder Elisa Camahort Page, Heather Boushey, senior economist at the Center for American Progress, and Joan Williams, director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California – Hastings.
What will we be talking about? Why, everyday life, the daily grind – how we’re literally being crushed between taking care of our loved ones and paying the bills. Each day for two weeks, from January 25 through February 5, we’ll be looking at how work/life impacts different communities in different ways.
The fact that work/life is NOT just a women’s issue will be underscored by our January 26 segment on men, who are navigating rapidly changing gender roles. What daunting barriers do working fathers face in sharing responsibilities in the household? Can Superman be Family Man? See below for details.
Please tune into Fem2.0 blog radio here.
Also, we hope you’ll join the Twittercast (to #fem2 and #worklife) or the online chat on TalkShoe that will take place around each program.
