All organizations have work that no one wants to do: planning the office party, screening interns, attending to that time-consuming client, or simply helping others with their work. From office housework to more important assignments, the work that goes unrewarded, is more often handled by women than by men. The talk will present research on how and when gendered work arises, and how differences in assignments impact compensation, negotiation and advancement.
