Crisis Conversations: Being a Dad in the Time of COVID-19

The coronavirus pandemic is completely upending the way we work, live, connect with one another and what we expect from our government, communities and each other. It鈥檚 all happening so fast that stress levels and anxiety are sky high. That鈥檚 why the Better Life Lab is hosting a weekly interactive conversation for people to come together, share stories and begin to make sense of what鈥檚 unfolding and what it could mean for the future of gender equity, health, how we work and how we live.

Crisis Conversations鈥揕ive from Better Life Lab is hosted by Brigid Schulte and produced by David Schulman.

Before COVID-19 hit, women spent about twice as much time as men doing childcare and housework. That unequal gendered division of labor at home contributed to gender inequality in the workplace. 鈥 and to a persistent gender pay gap.

But is the pandemic now changing that dynamic? And if so, will those changes last?

To take on these questions, Better Life Lab's Brigid Schulte is joined by:

  • 顿补苍听颁补谤濒蝉辞苍, Assistant Professor of Family, Health and Policy at the University of Utah, and author of聽"Men and Women agree: During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Men are Doing More at Home"
  • Glen 鈥淏eleaf鈥 Henry, Artist and Rapper who documents life as a black father on his YouTube Channel,聽beleafinfatherhood聽and his TEDx Talk:聽What I鈥檝e learned being a stay at home Dad
