 en '03\n\nJoin Goucher alum and author Jenna (Morton-Ranney) Morton-Aiken 
 ’03 for a conversation about navigating change\, finding direction\, and
  getting unstuck. Drawing from her book\, Parenting While PhDing\, and her
  work as founder of Let’s Talk Momentum\, she will explore what happens 
 when the path we’re on no longer feels right.\n\nA special thank you to 
 our moderator\, Emily Perl\, associate vice president for student success.
 \n\nBook Description\nBeing a Ph.D. student is not easy. Navigating the hi
 ghly competitive world of academia while working hard for little or no pay
  would be stressful for anyone—but it’s especially challenging for gra
 duate students who are also parents.\n\nFeaturing contributions from more 
 than 40 current and former graduate students raising children\, Parenting 
 While PhDing offers valuable advice for students and administrators. Paren
 ts will get practical recommendations on both childcare and self-care\, le
 arning how to form supportive personal and professional networks while est
 ablishing a healthy work/life balance. The collection also offers thoughtf
 ul suggestions on how to make graduate programs less toxic and more inclus
 ive.\n\nRecognizing that not all graduate students have similar background
 s or needs\, Parenting While PhDing features a diverse range of viewpoints
 \, including queer\, trans\, disabled\, BIPOC\, immigrant\, and first-gene
 ration college students. The authors represent a variety of disciplines\, 
 from the natural and social sciences to the humanities and health care pro
 fessions. Together\, they share fresh perspectives on the experiences of g
 raduate students with children and offer strategies they can use to naviga
 te the dual pressures of the academy and parenting.\n\nRegister for the Vi
 rtual Authors Series
