CohenMiller, Anna S.
LEARNing Landscapes, v13 n1 p97-114 Spr 2020
This study applies heartful autoethnography to demonstrate the performance of being a mother in academia. As such, the article addresses: (1) motherhood versus mothering; (2) the concepts of presentation of self, passing, and covering; (3) systematic bias mothers face in academic spaces; and (4) the ultimate costs of covering motherhood in academia.
