BERKELEY CENTER FOR WORKING FAMILIES RESEARCHERS

AFFILIATED AND VISITING SCHOLARS


Several Affiliated Scholars who live and work in the Bay Area were active participants in the Center for Working Families  intellectual community: Ilene Philipson (a sociologist, psychotherapist, and author); Netsy Firestein (Founder and Director of the Labor Project for Working Families, an organization that works with unions to develop better workplace policies for families); and Kay Trimberger (Professor of Women’s Studies Emerita, Sonoma State University, and an activist with the Labor Project for Working Families).

Each year the Center for Working Families community welcomed Visiting Scholars from other universities for periods of residence ranging from a few weeks to a year. Gary Cross, Distinguished Professor of History at Pennsylvania State University, was a funded CWF researcher and mentor during spring 2002; Louise Lamphere, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico (and former President of the American Anthropological Association) was a senior postdoctoral researcher.
