DESCRIPTION:The Work-Family Narrative as a Social Defense\n\nRobin Ely\n	Har
 vard Business School\n\nDate: February 7\, 2013Time: 10:30 am - 12:00 pmLo
 cation: Room 245\n\nAbstract: \n\nBased on a case study of a professional 
 service firm seeking to promote women into its partnership\, we draw on th
 e concept of 'social defense' to explain why firms may be reluctant to con
 sider explanations for women’s stalled advancement that fail to place work
 -family conflict front-and-center.  In this case\, we suggest that such de
 fenses operated to deflect attention away from emotionally-disturbing cons
 iderations regarding individuals' resolution of work-family conflict. The 
 result of leaving intact and unquestioned the narrative of women's family 
 lives as the obstacle to women’s advancement\, however\, reinforced women’
 s reliance on  accommodations that in fact were career limiting and also l
 eft unaddressed the non-family-related obstacles that frequently derailed 
 their career progress.\n\nFor more information\, please contact Linda Fost
