What's it about?

Think you know who does what at home? Join Sociology researchers for a fun, interactive guessing game exploring the hidden gender dynamics of unpaid labour—from housework to emotional load.

Test your perceptions, uncover surprising truths about how time and effort are shared (or not!), and win small prizes along the way. You’ll leave with new insights into the mental and emotional tasks that often go unnoticed—but never unfelt. 

Who's leading the event?

Dr Grace Chang, Dr Zhuofei Lu and Dr Henglong Luo of GenTime, Department of Sociology, University of Oxford
