Hi all. This week I'm trying something new. I’m concentrating on one issue all this week, the work/family problem. It’s really difficult for me to stick to one topic. (How much do I want to write about the debate?) So, I expect some props just for resisting the urge to meander.
Though most of my posts will start off with my own experiences as a parent of two little kids, family should be interpreted by others in its broadest sense. Family includes spouses, partners, and elderly relatives. Commenters should riff off of their own experiences.
For the first time, I am consciously attempting to make a political difference on this blog. I have gotten the ear of influential academics and writers and will share with them the dialogue that happens here.
Depending on my family obligations, I will be more or less active in the discussion on the blog. My role is mostly to jump start discussion and then let you all go at it.
Thanks to all the other bloggers who linked to this blog, including Crooked Timber , Another Damn Medievalist, Russell Arben Fox, Family Scholars, New Kid on the Hallway, and Bad Mama. (via Technorati.)
