Join us for the Women's Empowerment & History Month Keynote, featuring Dr. Allison Daminger, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

 

Dr. Daminger's talk "Thinking Gender: Cognitive Labor in Family Life" will explore the idea of cognitive labor, or project management for the household. Through research based on more than 140 interviews, Allison finds that women in different-gender couples typically bear the brunt of the cognitive load—even when those couples aspire to equality.
