To expose students to studies recognized as the “best of the best” research on work and family. Opportunities for Integration in Course Assignments:The Rosabeth Moss Kanter Award for Excellence in Work-Family Research is a partnership of the Center for Families at Purdue University, the Center for Work and Family at Boston College, and the Alliance of Work-Life Progress. This award raises awareness of high quality work-family research among the scholar, consultant, and practitioner communities.

The Kanter award is given to the authors who publish the best work-family research article during a calendar year.

The Sloan Work and Family Teaching Task Force developed a teaching module designed to expose graduate level students to engage in critical analysis of research methods of these articles. In addition, teachers may consider having students engage in class presentations of these articles or integrating them into reading assignments. Articles can be retrieved via the Sloan Work and Family Literature Database and further information on the Kanter awards can be found here. Kanter Award Winners:2008: Shelley J.
