Unknown Author

4.9/5 (25626 ratings)

Description:Every year, American universities publish glowing reports stating their commitment to diversity, often showing statistics of female hires as proof of success. Yet, academic life remains overwhelmingly a man's world and the presence of women, specifically those with children, in the ranks of tenured faculty has not increased in a generation. This anthology explores the continued inequality of the sexes in higher education and suggests changes that could make universities more family-friendly workplaces. Candid, provocative, and sometimes with a wry sense of humor, the essays speak to and offer support for any woman attempting to combine work and family.The conversation / Jamie Warner --In medias res / Sonya Huber --Scholar, negated / Jessica Smartt Gullion --Student/body / Sheila Squillante --On being Phyllis's daughter : thoughts on academic intimacy / Laura Levitt --Engineering motherhood / Jennifer Eyre White --The wire mother / Susan O'Doherty --Fitting in / Elrena Evans --Motherhood after tenure : confessions of a late bloomer / Aeron Haynie --First day of school / Amy Hudock --Boards and a passion : on theatre, academia, and the art of failure / Anjalee Deshpande Nadkarni --Living (!) a life I never planned / Rosemarie Emanuele --Coming to terms at full term / Natalie Kertes Weaver --One mamá's dispensable myths and indispensable machines / Angelica Duran --That mommy thing / Alissa McElreath --Failure to progress : what having a baby taught me about Aristotle, advanced degrees, developmental delays, and other natural disasters / Irena Auerbuch Smith --Infinite calculations / Della Fenster --I stand here teaching : Tillie Olsen and maternity in the classroom / Julia Lisella --The facts, the stories / Leah Bradshaw --I am not a head on a stick : on being a teacher and a doctor and a mommy / Elisabeth Rose Gruner --Lip service / Jennifer Cognard-Black --Body double / Leslie Leyland Fields --The long and winding road / Jean Kazez --The bags I carried / Caroline Grant --Of the boys / Martha Ellis Crone --Free to be --mom and me : finding my complicated truth as an academic daughter / Megan Pincus Kajitani --Nontraditional academics : at home with children and a PhD / Susan Bassow, Dana Campbell, Liz Stockwell --A great place to have a baby / Rebecca Steinitz --Recovering academic / Jennifer Margulis --The orange kangaroo / Nicole Cooley and Julia Spicher Kasdorf --Ideal mama, ideal worker : negotiating guilt and shame in academe / Jean-Anne Sutherland --In theory/in practice : on choosing children and the academy / Lisa Harper --Motherhood is easy; graduate school is hard / Tedra Osell --Momifesto : affirmations for the academic mother / Cynthia Kuhn ...
