Balancing Parenthood and Academia Work/Family Stress as Influenced by Gender and Tenure... - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Work-Life Balance Does Not Mean Work-Family Balance - 0 views

  •  
    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 Mom Penalty - 0 views

  •  
    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.

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

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

  • 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.

5 Tips for Better Work-Life Balance - 0 views

  •  
    Work_Life Balance All
  •  
    Another quick list of work-life balance ideas. I use the early wake-up plan myself and find that those 2 or 3 hours before the rest of the family awakes can be really productive. I also like to exercise at mid-day while most of my colleagues eat lunch. I find it easier to eat lunch piece-meal before and after my workout. I think it keeps my energy more even throughout the day.

CV Kinesiology - 2 views

    I like the sectioning of this CV compared to the previous post. It is easier to read, and allows for more subsections.
  •  
    This is the first CV I ever saw that starts with family members. I liked that though. It conveys something good about the person and his confidence level too to go out of the box.
