Work/Life Balance
Lehigh is committed to helping faculty members balance the responsibilities of their professional and personal lives and provides these work life balance resources as information for faculty.
Research suggests women may be drawn more to collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Lehigh ADVANCE will shed light on to what extent and how interdisciplinary work is gendered, not only in terms of participation but in terms of outcomes.
