Berkeley Collection of Working and Occasional Papers
The Berkeley Center for Working Families was established in 1998 with funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The Center was composed of an interdisciplinary group at the University of California, Berkeley of faculty, graduate students, visiting scholars and postgraduate researchers who initiated research on working families and "culture of care." The Center formally closed on August 31, 2002, but many of the research projects continue.
