I’m returning to my @chronicle piece on “the problem” of pregnancy in academia. I have sources but if you’re an otherwise marginalized academic (disabled, queer, of color) I’d love to interview you about your experience of pregnancy.

RTs appreciated.

One reason “get to work” policies are so cruel for disabled people is that losing their career was devastating. Sitting on the sofa is nice for a weekend but less so if you’re doing it for thirty years and in pain. Being told you “don’t want it enough” is psychologically brutal.
