Prof Lucie Cluver speaks on balancing academia and motherhood

Prof Lucie Cluver was one of three Nuffield Professorial Fellows that served as panellists at the Nuffield College 2024 Women’s Day event on 18 April. The panel discussion was centered on how women in academia consider and navigate their personal and professional lives.

It delved into questions that women often ponder but seldom discuss openly, providing a valuable opportunity for attendees, especially women, to reflect on the intersection of parenthood and academia.

The panellists shared their personal experiences of raising children while pursuing academic careers. They also offered practical advice and invaluable insights on balancing a successful academic career with family responsibilities.
