Academic Mothers Building Online Communities

It Takes a Village

Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)

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 collection develops an understanding of academic mothers’ lived experiences and how these experiences are enacted online. The book gives space to the many ways women create and challenge their own versions of motherhood through a digital “village.” This book examines how academic mothers use virtual communities to seek and enact different kinds of support. weiterlesen
