RODRIGUES, Jaqueline Sobreira  and  MORAIS, Normanda Araujo de. The family-work interaction: a study on maternity in graduate school. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.2, pp. 147-167. ISSN 1677-2970.

ABSTRACT Gender inequity in scientific careers is still a relevant and little explored topic, as well as the challenges brought by the experience of maternity to women professors. This study sought to understand the family and work interaction of women who are mothers and work as faculty in graduate courses. The participants (11 women, 35 to 44 years old) responded to an in-depth interview. The results show maternity as a concomitant planning for professional development; the importance of maternity leave and spousal support; and the difficulties and strategies of family-work conciliation. It is important to think about public policies and institutional projects that collaborate with the process of conciliation between maternity and work.

Keywords : family-work interaction; maternity; science; teaching; postgraduate studies.
