Academic Motherhood in a Post Second Wave Context

About this book

Navigating the Dual Roles of Academic and Mother

Academic Motherhood in a Post-Second Wave Context explores the complex intersection of career and family for women in higher education. Contributors detail what it means to be an academic mother and to think about academic motherhood, while also exploring both the personal and specific institutional challenges academic women face, the multifaceted strategies different academic women are implementing to manage those challenges, and investigating different theoretical possibilities for how we think about academic motherhood.

This insightful collection is for academic mothers, feminist scholars, and higher education professionals interested in understanding the realities and possibilities for women balancing motherhood and academic careers. It offers a framework for exploring challenges, strategies, and possibilities in a post-second wave context, providing a valuable resource for navigating the complexities of academic life and motherhood.
