Shaping the future together - balancing an academic career and family life
COVID-19 has brought the issue of balancing family life and an academic career into focus - but this challenge will remain pertinent even after the pandemic is over. Many research associates in the qualification phase work at their limit in order to meet family and university demands. Family planning is also overshadowed by the question: How am I, how are we going to manage?
Since the compatibility of family and career is a central goal of the equal opportunity work in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at TU Dresden, we would like to invite you to the "Future Workshop - Designing Academic Careers in a Family-Friendly Way", which not only enables a lively discussion of these issues, but also suggests, tests and reflects on concrete solutions: What could or should a family-friendly academic career look like? How can compatibility and equality of work and family be rethought in an academic context? What contribution can TU Dresden make and what scope for action is available to me?
In a small setting (max. 12 participants), personal and systemic solutions will be developed together with Karin Gante, an experienced coach familiar with this particular format. The possibility of exchange and the elaboration of visions for the future are combined with first concrete steps of implementation. The objective of the three-part future workshop is to stimulate networking among the participants and advance collaborative work in the long term.
The workshop is free of charge. However, given f the small group size, a binding registration is required.
Target group:
Doctoral and post-doctoral students of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at TU Dresden. Participants with and without children are cordially invited!
