This volume focuses on the diverse ways in which mothers working
within academia seek to find others with similar experiences to
build virtual communities. Although the faculty and student
populations of universities have diversified, mothers in academia
are disproportionately overrepresented in precarious faculty and
staff positions and continue to experience myriad institutional and
interpersonal barriers, such as gender wage gaps that are
exacerbated by stop-the-clock tenure policies, inadequate parental
leave policies, expensive or scarce local childcare options, and
social biases. The book gives space to the many ways women create
and challenge their own versions of motherhood through a digital
“village,” examining how academic mothers use virtual
communities to seek and enact different kinds of support.
