Joan Williams presents "Opt Out or Pushed Out? The Real Deal Re: Women and Work"
The "Women and Work: Choices and Constraints" conference will kick off with a keynote address by Joan C. Williams, a distinguished professor at the University of California Hastings College of Law and Director of the Center for WorkLife Law. The presentation, titled "Opt Out or Pushed Out? The Real Deal Re Women and Work," will address the myths and facts about why and when women leave their jobs.
Williams' presentation will be held on Thursday evening at 7pm, in the Reading Room of the Campus Center and is free and open to the public. This event will lay the groundwork for the following day, in which preeminent intellectuals from across the nation and the University of Massachusetts Amherst will present and discuss their findings in panel sessions. This conference is hosted by the Center for Research on Families with support from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Office of the Vice Provost for Research, through a Leadership in Action Award.
