Bring the Kids!
March 20th, 2007OK, so you’re a mama, and you’re in graduate school, or maybe you’re a professor, and you’re managing, with an intricate system of childcare arrangements, to teach, to research, and mother your child. As long as no one gets sick, and no one reschedules a meeting at the last minute, and no one’s car breaks down, you manage to meet your professional and personal obligations. When you’re at home, it all works.
But what about when you have to attend a conference? What do you do? What if your child’s still nursing or just too young to leave at home, or you can’t cobble enough childcare to leave your older child? Wouldn’t it be great if you could bring your child, knowing that quality childcare is provided at the conference site?
Of course it would be, and for those attending the Association of Jewish Studies annual conference, it is! Read more about it in Mama, Ph.D. contributor, Megan Pincus Kajitani’s article in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
