The Happy PhD Zone: How To Maintain A Work-Life Balance In Academia - Next Scientist - 0 views

This article resonates with my own definition of work-life balance, or rather my interpretation that it is an artificial bifurcation of one's life. Or, "Again, there is no work-life balance in academia. You need to figure out what works for you and when you work best."

This is piece makes an important distinction: work-life vs work-family. My experiences have been such that single people must justify their needs for time off, an easy trap for both workers and supervisors.

The Price You Will Pay for Work-Life Balance | The Professor Is In - 0 views

shared by mattl0713 on 21 Nov 14 - No Cached

work-life balance is possible, but it takes vigilance and absolute commitment, it requires that you defy the expectations of your colleagues in the department and in the field at large, and that you be prepared to suffer a price for it, in terms of speed of promotions, raises, and career advancement.  You *can* have work-life balance, but it will be in resistance to, and defiance of, the norms that govern academic careers, and you will suffer consequences, and you need to be prepared for them.  And consequences that you don’t experience in terms of career advancement you might well see in terms of your physical health and mental well-being.

Work-life balance is possible, but it takes commitment and it may also come at a price. The cost may be a promotion or a raise. This cost affects women more than men, because women leave the profession to be with their families.

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.

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).

I have the PDF of this if anyone is interested. Individuals who work longer hours, perceive less job-based support for work/family issues, have spouses who demonstrate less support for career goals, and who are less satisfied with day care arrangements report greater levels of work and family stress. Women reported greater academic and family stress and perceptions of less institutional support for balance of work and family as compared to men.

This article helps us to understand how the work-life balance conversation emerged and why it is so meaningful, and so different, from traditional conversations about work versus personal life of prior generations and decades. The dialogue is largely driven by the new economic realities of the 21st century and, in turn, the inability and/or attempt by large employers and employees to adjust.

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. Obviously being a parent and an academic are not mutually exclusive titles, so here's someone who talks about how she does it!
