Laid-off mothers often feel pressured to stay at home with their children. @CPercheski told @thisisinsider that “if people say, 'Now you can spend more time with your kids,' that suggests that their work isn't an important part of who they are." spr.ly/6013POTRB

Agreeing to serve as the organizer for two ASA sessions seemed like a fine idea months ago. Not so much now when I am reviewing a pool of ~50 papers. But lots of great new research on childhood and inequality!
