description | This qualitative research project explored the experiences of women who juggle the demands of family or parenthood while engaging in academic careers at a faculty of education. The researcher-participants consisted of 11 women; 9 women provided a written narrative, and all women participated in the data analysis. The data consisted of the personal, reflective narratives of 9 women who participated in a faculty writing group. Analysis of narratives uncovered 5 themes common to the researchers and participants in this study: gender-specific experiences surrounding parenting, second-career academics, pressure surrounding academic work, human costs, and commitment to work and family. Implications of the findings are discussed with particular emphasis on how a faculty writing group framed by a relational model of interaction can be used to support untenured faculty who experience difficulty balancing the demands of family and academia. Ce projet de recherche qualitative a explore les experiences de femmes qui doivent jongler avec les exigences de la vie familiale ou parentale, tout en s'impliquant dans des carrieres academiques au sein d'une faculte d'education. C'est le travail de onze chercheuses-participantes. Neuf femmes ont fourni un expose ecrit de faits, et toutes ont participe a l'analyse des donnees. Ces donnees consistaient en exposes personnels et reflectifs de neuf femmes ayant pris part a un groupe de redaction de la faculte. L'analyse de ces exposes a permis de reveler cinq themes communs aux chercheuses et participantes de cette etude, soit des experiences propres a leur sexe en matiere de role parental, de seconde carriere academique, de pressions en lien avec le travail academique, de couts humains et d'engagement vis-a-vis du travail et de la famille. On discute de la portee de ces conclusions en mettant une emphase toute particuliere sur la fagon dont le groupe de redaction d'une faculte, organise selon un modele relationnel d'interaction, peut etre utilise pour soutenir le personnel non permanent qui a de la difficulte a harmoniser les exigences de la vie parentale et academique. |
