Work-Family Newsletter |
| “Families that Work,” A Newsletter of the Emory Center for Myth and Ritual in American Life |
|
The Center on Myth and Ritual in American Life ("MARIAL") is located at Emory University and is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Since fall 2000, MARIAL has focused its research on the “functions and significance of ritual and myth in dual wage-earner middle-class families in the American South.”
“Families that Work” is a newsletter of the Center on Myth and Ritual in American Life. The most recent issue, Spring 2005, features several interesting articles. For instance, articles include a comparison of rituals in Japan and those in the American South, global family life ideals, the intersection of work and family among middle-class entrepreneurs in Barbados, and emotional conversations in families with adolescents.
