Barbara Risman, professor and head of sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, is available to discuss contemporary families and the challenges working mothers, as well as fathers, face in today's society.

Risman contends we have a society in flux and workplaces, many of which lag behind with outdated beliefs and policies, must catch up to address these contradictions.
