Keble College: The Record 2009
travel for workshops or conferences, leaving the other with no
logistical problems in our absence. Now that our children are 9
and 5 years old, we feel we can say we’ve successfully managed
to combine our careers with our family life — neither of our
careers has been put on hold, yet we always leave work before
5 and never work weekends. It’s easy to confuse the hours you
work with the work you actually do, but fortunately I’ve found
that if I focus on being productive (writing papers, getting
things done) I can get away with my short working hours. It
helps that I only teach 1 graduate course a year and I’m more
or less my own boss, so hours are very flexible. And of course it
helps enormously that I have a husband who thinks my career
is as important as his, and is willing to do what it takes to make
that work.
So while I might not (yet) have swum with dolphins, ocean
currents have taken me a long way from my starting point at
Keble.
