The imperfect parent-scholar | Kate Bradley
https://antisocialhistorian.wordpress.com/2015/01/01/the-imperfect-parent-scholar
Being social in academic ways. Reflections on contemporary British history. Being a parent and an academic is not particularly different from being a member of any other profession or trade and being a parent. Shit[ty nappies] happen, if you will. Small people wake you up at inconvenient times. Child care is expensive. And the rest. I very much like Kirsty Rolfe’s idea of the imperfect academic. Take on three admin roles!

Back at work… | Kate Bradley
https://antisocialhistorian.wordpress.com/2014/05/27/back-at-work
Being social in academic ways. Reflections on contemporary British history. Back at work…. I began this current academic year by giving birth on the first day of the autumn term. I went back to work when my son was three and a half months old, leaving him in the care each day of my husband. The Tiny Terror, as he’s known round these parts for good reason, if he’s more toddler-sized these days, is now eight months old. So, how has it gone? This lasted about a fortnight.
