Dear PMI members,
dear colleagues,
we would like to draw your attention to the following interactive lecture, jointly organized by the Cluster of Excellence PMI together with the EXC ROOTS, CRC 1182, CRC 1261, CRC 1461, FOR miTarget, RTG TransEvo, and SPP 2002:
What?
“Parenthood and science – motherhood penalty, fatherhood bonus, and other obstacles to compatibility”
Persisting inequalities in academia are intensified when women academics become mothers. In addition to existing barriers, mothers face the maternal wall and a motherhood penalty. For fathers, in contrast, there is still a fatherhood bonus because they are supposed to financially support a family. These traditional gender norms are detrimental to everyone. Furthermore, the pandemic has exacerbated structural inequalities and increased the incompatibility of family and work. What solutions and support can be offered to parents in science? How can universities or research networks counteract the increased dropout of mothers? In this interactive online talk, Sarah Czerney and Lena Eckert will analyse the status quo of so-called compatibility and discussed the questions raised. Additionally, they will present examples of good practice.
