Abstract/Description
This interactive presentation is based on a qualitative research project that seeks to better understand the experiences of academic mothers. Since the University of Dayton is “committed, in the Marianist tradition, to educating the whole person” and an institution founded on the sacred mother, Mary, we believe that this work is critical to understanding academic mothers as “whole person[s].” Furthermore, in embracing the Marianist charism to educate in the family spirit for adaptation and change, this work is requisite in understanding a large population at UD.
Given the challenges brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative to consider the status of academic mothers at UD.
Goals for Attendees
The goal is for the attendees to better understand how the pandemic affects academic mothers, especially as it relates to "fluidity and flexibility in teaching and learning" and "work/life balance."
