Dueling Clocks: How Academic Women Balance Childcare With The Road To Tenure, Erin Careless
Adult Education Research Conference
This proposed study looks at the experience of academic women as they combine the demanding roles of motherhood and academic seeking tenure.

Individuals representing both academics and those employed in the policy sector will be interviewed, with the aim of assisting in the adaptation of university-based policy for academics. Introduction
