Praise for Parenting while PhDing

I along with my colleague Dr. Jenna Morton-Aiken at Brown University are thrilled to see praise rolling in for our recently published edited collection, Parenting while PhDing: Surviving and Improving the Working Conditions of Graduate Student Parents (Rutgers Press, 2025). Here's what other scholars are saying:

"I truly wish Parenting While PhDing existed when I was having my first child in the last year of my PhD. This volume manages to be well theorized while accessible to a range of readers. It is inter- and multi-disciplinary and consciously inclusive of a spectrum of experiences and identities. This is a must read not just for graduate students who might want to be parents, but also by faculty and staff in graduate programs who want to support their students not just as scholars, but as people." ~Amy Young, author of Teacher, Scholar, Mother: (Re)Envisioning Motherhood in the Academy

"Parenting While PhDing is an invaluable resource that delves into the multifaceted experiences of graduate student parents, offering practical strategies and heartfelt narratives. This book is particularly beneficial for academic professionals, administrators, and graduate students who seek to understand and support the delicate balance of parenting and academic pursuits from a graduate student perspective. Its strength lies in its diverse perspectives and actionable advice, making it an essential guide for fostering a more inclusive and supportive academic environment." ~Lisa Wolf-Wendel, coauthor of Academic Motherhood: How Faculty Manage Work and Family
