Photovoice: Motherscholars during Quarantine

header for Photovoice project, subtitled "motherscholars during quarantine"
What is the reality for mothers in academia–motherscholars–of suddenly being forced to work from home while also guiding their children’s online learning during COVID-19?

Description

Beyond Work/Life Balance: A Photovoice Study of Motherscholars in a Global Crisis was conducted during then COVID-19 pandemic (from May-July 2020) with those who identity as mothers and academics (referred to as “motherscholars”). Issues of gender equity and parity are issues worldwide, including in higher education. The pandemic added untenable roles for mothers working in academia and will have unprecedented effects on recruitment, retention and promotion. This study sought to understand first-hand what motherscholars were facing during those first few months of the pandemic. It moves beyond experiences to identify structural issues and hidden obstacles faced.
