Academic Motherhood tells the story of over one hundred women who
are both professors and mothers and examines how they navigated
their professional lives at different career stages. Kelly Ward and
Lisa Wolf-Wendel base their findings on a longitudinal study that
asks how women faculty on the tenure track manage work and family
in their early careers (pre-tenure) when their children are young
(under the age of five), and then again in mid-career (post-tenure)
when their children are older. The women studied work in a range of
institutional settings-research universities, comprehensive
universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges-and in
a variety of disciplines, including the sciences, the humanities,
and the social sciences. Much of the existing literature on
balancing work and family presents a pessimistic view and offers
cautionary tales of what to avoid and how to avoid it. In contrast,
the goal of Academic Motherhood is to help tenure track faculty and
the institutions at which they are employed "make it work." Writing
for administrators, prospective and current faculty as well as
scholars, Ward and Wolf-Wendel bring an element of hope and
optimism to the topic of work and family in academe. They provide
insight and policy recommendations that support faculty with
children and offer mechanisms for problem-solving at personal,
departmental, institutional, and national levels.
