About this listen
How to find your way in academics when every day you have to prepare for the unexpected? In this episode, two colleagues at TU/e openly discuss the often invisible context of their own academic career, in which they both have extensive caring duties for their children. They talk about how it has influenced and sometimes shaped their way of working and career, the relations with their colleagues, the benefits of the flexibility that comes with an academic job, but also how the expectations on career tracks and funding schemes often fail to properly take into account the circumstances of a person in life. They plead for helping people grow by giving them support rather than pressure.
