Description

Academic Mothers Building Online Communities: It Takes a Village explores the ways mothers in academia create virtual networks to navigate professional challenges. This volume examines how these women seek out others with shared experiences to build support systems through digital spaces. Despite growing diversity in university populations, mothers in academia face specific institutional and interpersonal barriers. The text examines how these challenges manifest in the workplace, including gender wage gaps, stop-the-clock tenure policies, and inadequate parental leave. It also looks at external pressures like scarce local childcare options and social biases. By analyzing the disproportionate representation of mothers in precarious faculty and staff positions, this book provides a deep look into the modern academic landscape. It is an essential resource for understanding how digital communities help women manage the complexities of professional life and parenthood within higher education institutions.
