Synopsis

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 parents.   Featuring contributions from more than forty current and former graduate students raising children, Parenting while PhDing offers valuable advice for both students and administrators. Each short and engaging narrative provides personal insight and practical recommendations for child care and self-care, building supportive networks, or developing new personal and professional identities. The collection also shares thoughtful suggestions for making graduate programs more inclusive and responsive to graduate student parents’ needs.   Recognizing that not all graduate students have similar backgrounds, 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 put forward fresh perspectives on the experiences of graduate students with children and discuss strategies for managing the dual pressures of parenting and the academy.
