This shift has been striking during times of socio-political change as demonstrated most recently by organizational responses to the reversal of Roe v. Wade, with many companies pledging funding for birthing people seeking abortions. While this type of support is valuable, the singular focus on abortion rights within the reproductive justice context minimizes the scope of its intersectional legacy.The purpose of this paper is to advocate for the organizational application of a comprehensive framework for reproductive justice (CFRJ) guided by intersectional Black Feminist epistemology. We will show that many US organizations have already engaged in reproductive justice by weaving together a mosaic of three socio-political moments (the pathway to marriage equality, restrictive immigration policies and COVID-19), that garnered organizational support and advocacy. These moments reflect the comprehensive nature of reproductive justice as conceived by the Black Feminists who originated the term. These ‘turning points’ demonstrate the organization’s capacity for leadership during times of crisis. The paper concludes with recommendations that explore potential pathways for moving forward in supporting work-family and reproductive justice within organizations.KEYWORDS: Black Feminismorganizationsreproductive justiceHRD‌work-family justice Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsNicole DillardNicole Dillard (she/her/hers) is an Assistant Professor in the Organizational Leadership, Policy and Development (OLPD) department at the University of Minnesota.

The article presents the findings from qualitative interviews carried out with ten British fathers, which analyses their experiences of requesting SPL and the level of organizational support available to them on taking leave. In terms of requesting SPL and on their return to work, two approaches are discernible: these are described as ‘cautious’ and ‘bold’. Although maintaining their commitment to being involved parents, cautious fathers tended to conform to the ideal worker norm. They did so by adopting strategies to mitigate any anticipated career penalty, which included adjusting the timing and length of their leave. Thus the values associated with the ideal worker norm represent a psychological barrier to fathers who might otherwise want to take a longer period of leave or adjust their working hours post-leave. By contrast, bold fathers are less concerned about accommodating their employer's needs in requesting SPL and are prepared to adjust their working hours to facilitate involved fatherhood. The article concludes by considering appropriate responses for policymakers, fathers and organizations.","PeriodicalId":47218,"journal":{"name":"Community Work & Family","volume":"2008 19","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135814125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Against this backdrop, the 2022 WFRN theme was established. The conference gathered members from around the world toward building impactful scholarship for practices and policy. In this Voices piece, we draw upon WFRN presidential panelists' voices. The first plenary, ‘The Meanings of Work-Family Justice’, provided opportunities for panelists to consider different ways to conceptualize and expand this idea as labor markets, workplaces, and many aspects of people's lives are in flux, with new understandings about how to think expansively about creating ‘work-family justice’, The second plenary – ‘Work-Family Justice on the Ground’ – featured panelists from leading non-profits who discuss how they've met challenges and succeeded in implementing and building policies that create a more just world of work and care. They discuss barriers and some ideas for overcoming difficulties. We conclude by considering the evolving meanings and practices of work-family justice. In all, the voices presented here help us focus on creating more ‘just’ worlds of work and care – a distinct and vital – if sometimes precarious – possibility in this moment.KEYWORDS: Workfamilyjusticecarepolicy Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Ideas and excerpts are drawn from related writing (Collins, Citation2019, Citation2020).2 In this section, I present reflections and remarks presented in the WFRN Presidential Plenary: Work-Family Justice on the Ground around major themes proposed by the organizers of the plenary.3 Bringing negative consequences for its beneficiaries4 https://www.abetterbalance.org/resources/report-summary-women-in-the-workforce-nyc/5 https://www.nber.org/papers/w30140Additional informationNotes on contributorsCaitlyn CollinsCaitlyn Collins is Associate Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis.

We conducted focus groups with STEM faculty at an exemplar case university, chosen because of its high expectations for research and teaching and its federal designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). We use cultural schemas – which outline core content of professional culture – as analytical lenses. In addition to the schemas of scientific research excellence and devotion identified in previous literature, we find evidence of a cultural schema of radical connection and service to undergraduate students, many of whom are Latinx and in families who faced disproportionately high risks from the pandemic. We argue that work-work conflict and work-family conflict are rooted in cultural schemas of the academic profession that clashed more intensively during the pandemic. These clashes intensify moral dilemmas for faculty and reinforce inequalities and injustices. We urge the federal government to expand the expectations for HSI designation beyond achieving a certain demographic profile to require and equip campuses to fully serve their diverse student bodies and fully sustain the faculty and staff who support them.KEYWORDS: STEM facultyprofessional cultureCOVID-19moral dilemmawork devotionwork-family and work-work conflict Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The National Science Foundation definition of STEM fields includes psychology and the social sciences, in addition to physical sciences, life sciences, and engineering (Granovskiy, Boris. 2018. ‘Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education: An Overview.’ U.S. Congressional Research Service, National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, National Science Foundation. 2022. ‘Doctorate Recipients from U.S. Universities: 2021.’ Alexandria, VA.)2 The case university is designated ‘high research level’ (or R2) by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education and also has a high teaching load and a large, diverse undergraduate enrollment.

Drawing on Canadian data from the 2021 International Familydemic Survey, we examine the relationship between fathers’ previous use of parental leave, and current use of flexible work arrangements (flextime and remote work), and their involvement in unpaid care work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings support the following three arguments: First, in numerous countries, including Canada, where socially exclusive policy designs can limit fathers’ take up of parental leave, flexible work arrangements can provide additional opportunities to increase fathering involvement beyond the early months of parenting. Second, our data indicate that unpaid care work sharing is enhanced by fathers’ parental leaves and flexible working; however, fathers who have taken parental leave report dividing a wider set of household work and care tasks with their partners. Third, although their policy designs, aims, and legislation architectures differ in Canada, we maintain that parental leaves and flexible work arrangements are both more than employment policies; they are care/work policies that enact ‘social care’ and ‘democratic care’, and support gender equality and work-family justice goals.","PeriodicalId":47218,"journal":{"name":"Community Work & Family","volume":"15 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134906807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative analyses have revealed mixed evidence that these policies are effective. However, it remains unknown how much individuals know about their countries' family welfare policies. The extent of men’s welfare knowledge in particular remains unexamined. Relying on 26 interviews with prospective parents in Hungary (N = 11) and the US (N = 15), this study examines what knowledge prospective parents have of family welfare policies in two distinct welfare contexts: Hungary, where certain individuals are heavily rewarded for having three or more children, and the US, where individuals do not receive significant financial support for having any number of children. Findings from this study demonstrate how policy knowledge is shaped by the public versus private nature of the welfare state. This study also reveals how policy measures can shape the gendered division of labor years before a child is born – a fruitful area for future research.KEYWORDS: Family welfarepolicy knowledgegender equitycross-nationalparenthood Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 There are a limited series of Nordic studies on men’s fertility awareness in family planning (Bodin et al., Citation2017; Schmidt et al., Citation2022), but none to date on men’s awareness of government family welfare incentives.2 Hungary does have a protected five days of paid leave that fathers can take after the birth of a child but this is not referred to as a separate paternity leave (Gábos & Makay, Citation2022, p. 274).3 The California survey also found that Latino respondents had less awareness of the state’s paid family leave law than non-Latino counterparts.4 Though I posted on social media groups targeted to New York residents, two respondents had moved to Austin, Texas and one to Chicago, Illinois at the time of the interview. As these cities are major urban centers with similar socio-political environments, I retained these interviews in the final sample. Texas and Illinois do have different family welfare policy offerings than New York. However, this study focuses on respondents’ knowledge of federal, state, and employer family supports, rather than actual policy offerings.5 The Hungarian and US samples were not limited by age, though the median age in each sample was 26 years old.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Central European University.Notes on contributorsErica MildnerErica Mildner is a PhD candidate in sociology at the University of British Columbia.
