- Title
Mutterschaft, Wissenschaft und Pandemie: Interview mit zwei der Herausgeber_innen der 2022 erscheinenden Publikation «Mutterschaft und Wissenschaft in der Pandemie».
- Abstract
The article presents an interview with the editors of a collection of essays on motherhood and science during the pandemic. The authors explain that the incompatibility of motherhood and science does not lie in the activities themselves, but in the idealized notions that come with both positions. The prevailing image of motherhood in Germany still expects a mother to selflessly care for her children and put her own needs aside. The pandemic has made this incompatibility even more apparent and has shown that gender equality in science was only an illusion before the pandemic. It is also pointed out that structural changes are necessary to improve the compatibility of motherhood and science.
