2018 WFRN Conference -- OpenScience: Assumptions and Translation of Work and Family Research
The conference will focus on using dialogue and processes that challenge assumptions relevant to:
1) designing and conducting research; and
2) “translating” research to stakeholders (such as policy makers and decision-makers at the workplace) who can use the findings for evidence-based decision-making.
These assumptions include the “taken-for-granted” ideas about work-family aspirations and experiences of diverse populations, employees working at diverse occupations at diverse workplaces, data collection methods, approaches for data analysis, and conceptual frameworks. The challenge is viewed as a catalyst that can energize translational science as well as evidence-based, solution-focused behaviors.
The theme of the 2018 Pre-WFRN Conference Workshop Day will be “Translating Scholarship Into Action: Positioning Research to Fit the Needs of End-Users.” This event will enhance skills work-family scholars possess to influence those operating on the front lines – including media representatives, public administrators, policy makers, and those engaged in workplace management.
