Being a PhD student is not easy. Navigating the highly competitive world of academia while working hard for little or no pay would be stressful for anyone—but it’s especially challenging for graduate students who are also parents.
 
Featuring contributions from more than forty current and former graduate students raising children, Parenting While PhDing offers valuable advice for students and administrators. Parents will get practical recommendations on both child care and self-care, learning how to form supportive personal and professional networks while establishing a healthy work/life balance. The collection also offers thoughtful suggestions on how to make graduate programs less toxic and more inclusive.
 
Recognizing that not all graduate students have similar backgrounds or needs, Parenting While PhDing features a diverse range of viewpoints, including queer, trans, disabled, BIPOC, immigrant, and first-generation college students. The authors represent a variety of disciplines, from the natural and social sciences to the humanities and health care professions. Together, they share fresh perspectives on the experiences of graduate students with children and offer strategies they can use to navigate the dual pressures of the academy and parenting.

Recenzii

"I truly wish Parenting While PhDing existed when I was having my first child in the last year of my PhD. This volume manages to be well theorized while accessible to a range of readers. It is inter- and multi-disciplinary and consciously inclusive of a spectrum of experiences and identities. This is a must read not just for graduate students who might want to be parents, but also by faculty and staff in graduate programs who want to support their students not just as scholars, but as people."
"Parenting While PhDing is an invaluable resource that delves into the multifaceted experiences of graduate student parents, offering practical strategies and heartfelt narratives. This book is particularly beneficial for academic professionals, administrators, and graduate students who seek to understand and support the delicate balance of parenting and academic pursuits from a graduate student perspective. Its strength lies in its diverse perspectives and actionable advice, making it an essential guide for fostering a more inclusive and supportive academic environment."
