Crisis Conversations - Live from Better Life Lab: Sand and Diamonds — the pandemic upends the balance of labor at home

The coronavirus pandemic is completely disrupting the way we work, and the way we live, care and relate to one another.So much is changing, and so fast, it’s hard to keep up with it all,That’s why the Better Life Lab is offering  Crisis Conversations - Live from Better Life Lab. With host Brigid Schulte working from home — recording into the cheap mic built into the cord of her earbuds — we're recording live Zoom sessions on Fridays. We want these sessions to be an intimate, interactive space for people to take a breath, and share stories. We'll reflect and gain some perspective and context, and think about what these changes could mean for the future of work, gender equity, health and social policy.Our lead guest for this episode is Eve Rodsky, author of the New York Times bestselling Fair Play. Eve works with Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, discussing how coronavirus may be upending the unfair division of labor at home. Could the social distancing required to slow the pandemic expose the double burden women have been shouldering for decades, and trigger a reset in gender norms around work and care? We'll also hear a personal story from Stephen Dypiangco, co-founder of Dadventures.And we'll hear stories and Q&A from attendees on the recorded call.If you'd like to attend our next live-recorded Zoom event — on Friday, April 10, about how the coronavirus pandemic has shut down businesses and left millions of people without work — please follow this link:https://newamerica.zoom.us/webinar/register/5115861816279/WN_1d_UUTRmTmer_iUhY_DL9gMore at: https://www.newamerica.org/events/ Hosted on Acast.
