Great article on this by @Sarah_Hughes90 here https://t.co/3ZZpjSkk4m
Sarah M Hughes draws on personal experience of advice to ‘wait for a permanent contract’ before trying to conceive a child in this theme issue article, "'Wait for a permanent contract': The temporal politics of (in)fertility as an early career researcher."
I’m late to the party, but have just discovered this amazing paper. I was never given the advice to have a baby during the PhD (because I was in an engineering faculty). In hindsight I see the value in it but wonder how many women got that advice then neve
I was also fortunate to be able to take the career risk of having a child on a temp contract (which ended 3 days before his birth) & manage on terrible statutory maternity pay. See https://t.co/kp6D8l8Th4
