Following the great reception of this PDW in 2020 and 2021, we are offering it again this year. In this workshop, we will explore the question, 'when is the right time to start a family in academia?' We will examine the diverse and not so straightforward answers to this question while also considering the less-discussed challenges such as infertility, miscarriage, and other pregnancy complications. We will explore family planning at different stages of the academic career to better understand the costs and rewards associated with each stage. The panelists are chosen to represent various family planning trajectories. These scholars will share their family planning journey and provide guidance on strategies to effectively navigate family planning in academia.
People at all stages of their careers are welcome. If you know anyone who might benefit from this session, please pass this information on to them.
Date/Time: Monday, August 8 (10 am - 12 pm PDT, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT)
