The superwoman fallacy: what it really takes to be an academic and parent - 0 views

"You'll spot that I haven't mentioned 'work-life balance'. I don't believe in it. There are only 24 hours in a day, and it's all my life. My work is my life, my home is my life, my family is my life and my addiction to mid-century Belgian ceramics on eBay is also my life." -
I am certainly interested in having children while I pursue a career in academia. I enjoyed this article because it was a refreshing departure from the usual negativity associated with the topic.

This definitely strikes a chord, its one of those things I was told I had to choose between if I wanted to go for my PhD: family or career- and by female faculty members! I won't spoil the article, but I agree- babies do matter in the academic career of women.

Working Hours for Graduate Students - 0 views

I found this article interesting because I feel like our graduate lives play an important training role. We learn different aspect of our field in graduate school and behaviors (working). I thought it was fascinating that mentors will exaggerated (not on purpose or out of malice) how many hours they worked a week. This does not setup a good work life balance foundation.
When Enough Is (Good) Enough: A Review of 'Professor Mommy' - 0 views

This is a book review of 'Professor Mommy' which discusses a work life balance for women working in academia. There are women I know who have children and go to graduate school. It is difficult and I couldn't imagine leaving a newborn at home to go to class/work/research. This was different from the other work life articles I have been reading (which are aimed for most populations).

A very interesting, albeit dated, study examining how an institution's culture can be (or attempted to be) changed to facilitate greater work-life balance. The results revealed that questions of work-life balance largely had gendered components that were more difficult to transform through typical culture approaches.

I loved this for the simple truth it reveals: we all find balance in our day through a full and extended network of supports and services - whether IT or a maid, or whatever else - that make it "work." It's just as true for academia as for any other profession.

These are great tips that are useful in higher education. When I was an undergraduate, I never built downtime into my schedule and wish I did. It gives a person time to relax.
