About the Book

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 face 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. Recommended for scholars of communication, gender studies, organizational communication, sociology, and family communication.

Review :
This edited volume includes a diverse range of innovative work-family scholarship that pushes the field in exciting new directions. This compilation brings to life the unique approach, and contribution, of communication scholarship to the quandaries and opportunities in managing the work/life interface. It is just the kind of collection I’ve been hoping to see brought forth. This text beautifully captures the history, nuances, and expansions of work-life concerns across contexts and roles to provide comprehensive discussion of negotiation across modern challenges.
