Parenthood and career – how do you change?


(Suggested by Clare Boston)

 Another interesting piece in the guardian about how parenthood changes your perspective as a researcher. Personally, it isn’t ‘Wheels on the Bus’ but ‘Let It Go’ that is the current melodic meme taking over my brain! This appropriate song maybe related to the age of your child – is there a research paper in that? More seriously, the impact of these short pieces lies in the personal stories that come across and the key issues they raise about how we work as researchers and academics and how the supposed barrier between our personal lives and our work lives are continually dissolving. How this impacts our careers is a concern. Better let it go now!
