How To Become an Academic Mum Without Going Nuts
@goingnuts.bsky.social
THE book project to be followed by all aspiring (future) academic mums. Funny to read and easy to hold in one hand while breastfeeding, based on studies and rooted in experience.

The advantage of being a commuting #academicmum: a) I can eat as much "Yuk!" stuff (Fish! Leek!) as I want, and b) start my Sunday with a breakfast in bed without someone jumping on it. Apart from that I miss them dearly. And I have started a chapter about #wholesomefood for academic mums.

Semester breaks are usually the only times when academic mums are able to go on vacation with their family - tricky when semester break and school holidays don't run at the same time. Where are you the academic/calendric year? How do you balance family & job at university?

Today, I met with another woman scholar, @sabrinakirschner.bsky.social, at café Tanteleuk in Dresden. My cake was powdered with rose-gold cake glitter dust. As academic life is far more prosaic than glittery and sweet, we should all have a big slice. Have a nice week.

When you are a commuting academic mum [Very typical for academic dads, but a penny for every time I got: "Isn't it hard for the kids? How does hubby cope?"] and stuck because of a train drivers' strike and can't see your kids anyway, it is reading & writing time in the office.

It is research phase and @thesismum.bsky.social is reading the testimonies by female scholars in: "Parenting & Professing: Balancing Family Work with an Academic Career" by Rachel Hile Bassett (Vanderbilt University Press 2005). Sounds all too familiae. Are you an academic mum? Keep updated here!
