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.
