It’s no secret that the covid-19 pandemic has taken a particular toll on both the careers and family lives of working parents, particularly mothers. Mothers of small children have lost work at three times the rate of fathers since the beginning of the health crisis, and even before the pandemic childcare responsibilities fell disproportionately on the shoulders of women. As Claudia Goldin, an economic historian specializing in women in the labor market explained it:\n
“Will this disproportionately affect female lawyers, accountants, people in various positions in finance, management, academics, all of whom have up-or-out or winner-take-all positions? I would say yes.
”One field where women are already feeling the strain of the pandemic is academia—especially the women still waiting to face their tenure evaluation and learn if their short-term professor role could become a long-term one.that Northwestern University, like many other universities, initially responded to the pandemic by pausing the so-called “tenure clocks” of junior faculty, giving them an extra year to publish the academic work that will determine whether they’re promoted.
