Example Outline: A Short Article on Remote Work

· Title: "Blurred Boundaries: A Qualitative Study of Gender Dynamics in Remote Work During the COVID-19 Pandemic"

· Intro: Rise of remote work, promise of flexibility, but potential to reinforce traditional gender roles.

· Lit. Review/Theory: Review of gender division of labor (Hochschild's "second shift"); concept of "boundary work."

· Methodology: In-depth interviews with 25 heterosexual dual-earner couples with children, conducted via Zoom.

· Findings:

  · Theme 1: Women more often reported managing childcare interruptions.

  · Theme 2: Home office spaces were gendered (his: dedicated room; hers: kitchen table).

· Discussion: Remote work did not dismantle gendered labor patterns but relocated and sometimes intensified them. Connects to theory of "flexibility stigma" and persistent cultural schemas.

· Conclusion: Without intentional policy and household negotiation, remote work may replicate old inequalities in new spaces. Suggests need for organizational and couple-level strategies.
