    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).

    This is alike many other recent, and trending, articles/blogs/etc. on HuffPo and elsewhere that explore the ties between feminism and work-life balance, and the structured inequalities that perpetuate the misnomer of work-life balance, particularly for women. What it helpful about these discussions is that - increasingly - they extend beyond the female-professional-as-mother dialogue and to the professional-as-caregiver dialogue, which so many of the Sandwich Generation, Millennials and Generation Y will face all too well.

    A great article explaining why many women have to choose between tenure and children. It also has the Statement of Principles on Family Responsibilities and Academic Work by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).

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.

    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.

    Some age statistics of women and men earning their PhDs. Also findings from surveys.

    Very interesting! Gives a realistic overview of what academic work looks like. I learned that the average age to receive a Ph.D. is 33.

    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.
