Hope SaraJust submitted my first piece of work since being back from maternity leave. Not only have I submitted it, but it's two weeks earlier than I estimated I would do it in! KAPOW! #academicmastodon #academicchatter #momademia #academicmom #phdparent
There are staff/colleagues at the #UniversityOfLeeds who make being a #workingmum a breeze, and then there are others who don't. Shout out to the academic community who has supported and encouraged me since my return to work. As for the rest of you... My tribe is better than yours. ββ #momademia #AcademicChatter #academicmastodon #academicmom #phdparent #pgrparent
Today's reading has me excited: Cheeseman, N. and Dodsworth, S. (2023) πβ Defending Civic Space: When are Campaigns against Repressive Laws Successful? π€β #academicmastodon #academicchatter #momademia #academicparent #phdparent
Working parent vibes: coming into the office with your child's toothpaste smears on your t-shirt, spilling coffee down your jeans, and sitting down at your desk in a haze of sleep deprivation. #momademia #phdparent #academicmom
Move to #partime officially approved and my funding duration confirmed. Huzzah! #AcademicChatter #academicmastodon #WRoCAH #AHRC #maternityleave #returntowork #phdparent #workingmum

Hope SaraAnother morning WFH on my paper for the #DemocraticCitizenship Workshop at the #UniversityOfLeeds next week Thursday. Itβs been such a nice goal to have in mind for easing myself back into work and reacquainting myself with my thesis. So many thoughts and so much to say. #maternityleave #postgraduateparent #momademia #academicparent #phdparent #academicmastodon
