Featured Research Project
Supporting student-mothers: a work-life program
While universities across Australia have sought to ensure their campuses and policies are more parent friendly, many student-mothers have provided informal feedback that these measures do not go far enough.
To address this, Dr Carys Chan designed a series of five online workshops, 'Supporting student-mothers: a work-life program,’ which sought to raise awareness and provide direct support to student-mothers completing their tertiary education, whilst engaging in paid work and caregiving concurrently.
