Join KUMC Women in Medicine and Science (WIMS) for a virtual journal club on Friday, February 17th @ 12:00pm
The topic for this journal club is Balancing Career and Family
We’re all acutely aware of the impact our home life has on our professional life. Do you have the balance you want? If not, why and what can be done? With ever-changing norms, economics, and options for creative thinking, we want to know how you navigate the practicalities and emotions around career and family. What works well? What does not work well? Please share your joys, frustrations and wisdom.
The discussion will start with two interesting reviews of the 2021 book Career and Family: Women's Century-Long Journey toward Equity by Claudia Goldin. Ms. Goldin is a renowned Harvard historian who has spent her career writing about women and work. We will use the reviews as a starting point, but please join us regardless of whether you have time to read the reviews. To obtain copies of the reviews please visit the KUMC WIMS Events webpage or email Elizabeth Harner. Invite your friends and colleagues and join us for what is sure to be a spirited discussion!
