I am especially interested in the effects of parental leave policy on faculty mothers* ability to combine research/teaching and family responsibilities. In this study, I compare the experiences of U.S. faculty mothers who have used institutional (university-wide) parental/family leave with those in Finland where parental leave is a national-level benefit.  So far, I have conducted over 30 interviews with Finnish mothers and ten in the U.S. and would like to find more participants for the U.S. portion of the study.

Should the above description apply to you (or someone you know) and you would be willing to participate in a 60-90 minute, face-to-face or telephone interview (depending on your location) during this spring and summer, please contact me at mollilainen at weber.edu. I have obtained an IRB approval for this protocol, and all interviews are anonymous and confidential.
