| Tuesday, June 24 | Work-life balance is continually raised |
| 12:00 - 2:00 pm | as an issue by Bank staff. With the goal |
| World Bank J | of promoting a more family-friendly World |
| Building | Bank, the Family Issues Group of the |
| Auditorium | Staff Association invites you to the |
| J1-050 | first of their speakers series. Dr. |
| 701 18th Street, | Drago, a professor of labor studies and |
| NW | women's studies at Pennsylvania State |
| Washington, DC | University at University Park, is a |
| | well-known researcher in the field of |
| | work-life balance, and his most recent |
| | book, Striking a Balance: Work, Family, |
| | Life, outlines the challenges affecting |
| | women in the workplace, especially where |
| | work and family-life collide. His work on |
| | "bias avoidance" explores why -- even |
| | when family-friendly policies are |
| | available in the workplace -- both men |
| | and women tend to shun the use of these |
| | policies so as to avoid stigma. |
| | |
| | Dr. Drago is Professor of Labor Studies |
| | and Women's Studies at Penn State |
| | University professorial Fellow at the |
| | University of Melbourne, and co-founder |
| | and chair of the Take Care Net . His |
| | research, concerns time use among parents |
| | of infants, working time flexibility, |
| | biases against caregiving in the academic |
| | workplace, the decline of women in |
| | intercollegiate coaching, and public |
| | policies for working families. He is a |
| | frequent contributor to major media |
| | outlets, including the HuffingtonPost, |
| | and has provided Congressional Briefings |
| | sponsored by Senators Clinton, Kennedy, |
| | and Obama, among others. |
