YamJam: Managing Work, Home and Parenting during COVID-19

Western’s Network for Emerging Women and Engaged Parents’ Network are teaming up to host a Yam Jam at 11.00 am on Thursday, 4 June 2020 where you can ask questions and respond to colleagues in real-time. We think the topic will be relevant to all our members, and hope you will come a long to participate in the discussion!

What is the discussion topic?

Managing work, home and parenting during COVID-19: How are staff at Western managing a work/life balance and how are parents coping with transitioning their children back to school?

We will be joined by a number of experts to help facilitate this discussion:

• Dr Erin Mackenzie – School of Education
• Dr Kay Carroll - School of Education
• Dr Carolyn Ee - NICM Health Research Institute
• Dr Dorothea Bowyer - School of Business
• Dr Kate McBride - School of Medicine
