Women in Research Webinar #42: Juggling roles in academia
Being an academic often means taking on many roles at once. Researcher, teacher, supervisor, mentor, colleague and sometimes leader, alongside the roles and responsibilities you have outside work.
With so many people and priorities competing for your attention, it can be difficult to know where to focus your time and energy. When everything feels important, giving more to one area can leave you feeling like you are falling short somewhere else.
So how do you navigate multiple roles without feeling that you need to do everything, for everyone, all at once? And how do you make choices about where to focus without feeling that you are letting something, or someone, down?
In this webinar, ARC Laureate Fellow and lead of the Women in Research initiative, Professor Sharon Parker (Curtin University), will explore practical, evidence-based strategies for navigating the different roles and responsibilities that come with an academic career.
She will be joined by ARC Laureate Fellow Professor Felicity Meakins (The University of Queensland) and ARC Future Fellow Associate Professor Aleksandra Luksyte (The University of Western Australia), who will reflect on how they have juggled different roles throughout their careers and lives, including the challenges they have faced, how their priorities have changed and what they have learned along the way.
Whether you are balancing research with teaching and service, taking on new responsibilities or juggling your academic career with life outside work, this webinar will offer practical advice and perspectives to help you decide where to focus your time and energy effectively.
