Dr. Richard J. Petts will discuss his recent book titled: "Father Involvement and Gender Equality in the United States: Contemporary Norms and Barriers". The book provides an overview of fatherhood in the United States today to explore why fathers continue to be less involved in childcare than mothers and to strategize about how we can work toward encouraging and promoting greater father involvement. In doing so, this book provides a unique and important contribution to our understanding of the culture of fatherhood in the U.S., and the implications of father involvement for gender equality, through the use of quantitative survey data and interviews with fathers.
