Communication and the Work-Life Balancing Act: Intersections across Identities, Genders, and Cultures

Communication and the Work-Life Balancing Act: Intersections Across Identities, Genders, and Cultures offers scholarly research related to work-life balance in today’s environment, with a particular focus on the fields of communication and gender studies. The chapters examine the choices, challenges, and gendered experiences that women and men experience as they navigate structures of work, domestic duties, and childcare in search of balance. Underpinning this text is the notion that work-life balance affects everyone, but is experienced differently through the intersections of sex, age, gender, socioeconomic status, and race. The chapters come together to portray today’s work and family cultures as uniquely situated as a direct effect of previous changes.
