Writing While Caring

Care work often structures everyday life in ways that leave little room for focused work. This presentation will explore the unique challenges faced by caregivers in academia and highlight the "care concentration gap" — the difference in working conditions between individuals with and without caregiving responsibilities. Participants will receive practical strategies for writing productively despite caregiving duties and organizing their daily writing around caregiving needs. This includes intentionally carving out family time to break the cycle of missed work after hours.
