Samone’s recently accepted doctoral thesis builds on a strong interest in gender justice, policy, and the workplace. Through analysis of Paid Parental Leave and Flexible Work policy, the study examines the barriers to primary caregiving for working fathers and its relationships with women’s wider gender equality. Using a mixed methods framework, the large sample survey (n = 951) and interviews with 14 couples is one of the largest investigations of these issues in Australia. An excerpt of Samone’s thesis can be viewed below. For all enquires, contact Samone directly.
