Our Team
Employment lawyers and historians who write and fact-check the guides on this site.
Working Now and Then is written by employment lawyers and historians. The legal guides are fact-checked by Charles Joseph, the site's founder; the blog and the history section draw on scholars who study how people have worked, and fought for their rights, over time. The site also supports students through two annual scholarships.
