About the Work and Family Researchers Network
The new Work and Family Researchers Network (WFRN), formerly the Sloan Work
and Family Research Network, will be an international membership
organization that seeks to advance, promote and disseminate
interdisciplinary research on work and family.
The Work and Family Researchers Network's mission, a natural evolution from
the former Sloan Network, will be to facilitate virtual and face-to-face
interaction among academic work and family researchers from a broad range of
fields as well as engage the next generation of work and family scholars.
The WFRN also will welcome the participation of policy makers and workplace
practitioners as it seeks to promote knowledge and understanding of work and
family issues among the community of global stakeholders.
The new Work and Family Researchers Network will be unique in utilizing
cutting-edge technology to create the next generation of opportunities for
information sharing and networking including an open access work and family
subject matter repository and a news tagging component among other features.
