Since 1993, IPUMS has worked to preserve and harmonize the population data and make them freely accessible to researchers. This includes time diary data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) as well as international and historical time diary data. Last month, Drs. Sarah Flood and Liana Sayer, co-PIs of IPUMS Time Use, along with their long-time collaborator Dr. Melissa Milkie, received the Ellen Galinsky Generative Researcher Award, presented by the Work and Family Researchers Network.

The award recognizes work-family researchers who have contributed breakthrough thinking to the work-family field via theory, measures, and/or data sets that led to expansive application, innovation, and diffusion, including the sharing of research opportunities in the spirit of open science. The award committee highlighted Flood’s foundational contributions to public data infrastructure and long history of demystifying complex time diary data, as well as Sayer’s innovative scholarship on gender and social class inequalities in time use over the life course.
