Early research is already confirming what we all might be feeling… the ongoing COVID-19 health pandemic is having a greater impact on those who identify as women, and specifically, those who identify as mothers. Join this Coffee Conversation to discuss the way this pandemic is impacting women and mothers, and share any strategies you’ve developed for improved work/life balance and self-care during this time. Two Ithaca College faculty members, Jen Huemmer and Lauren Britton-Steele, will also join to share their research “Mom-ing During a Pandemic Lockdown”, which you can read more about here.
