| American University Program on
Worklife Law |
|
Based at the Washington College of Law at American University,
the Program on WorkLife Law is a research and advocacy center.
Building on theories of gender, work, and family, the program
works with family caregivers, employers, lawyers, and state
and federal policy makers to identify barriers and practical
solutions to work/family issues. Though the Program's
scope is not limited to higher education, some of its publications
deal with work/life issues on campus.
