Academic parenting: work–family conflict and strategies across child age, disciplines and career level
journal contribution
posted on 2018-04-03, 00:00 authored by A Hardy, J McDonald, Rosanne GuijtRosanne Guijt, E Leane, A Martin, A James, M Jones, M Corban, B GreenThe research underpinning this article explores the impacts that parenting and primary caring responsibilities have upon academic careers. It takes an innovative approach by exploring three under-researched aspects of this issue: the longitudinal impacts that extend past the years immediately following the birth or adoption of a child; the differences and similarities that occur as a result of primary carer parenting across academic disciplines; and the impacts that primary carer parenting has upon the careers of those who are employed in senior academic levels. With these three aspects in mind, the research explores the strategies employed to cope with the impacts that birth or adoption has upon academic careers. In doing so, it broadens conceptual understandings of the career impacts of parenting, while offering recommendations for university administrators and leaders.
