“…Findings highlight the need for more women faculty role models in higher education. While competence and confidence in research skills can be developed through coursework, and men and women faculty alike can model a positive attitude toward research -elements necessary in developing a research scholar identity, envisioning self as a research scholar was possible when female candidates had the opportunity to interact with a female mentor who modeled the behaviors of a scholar, while also visibly honoring her female identities by demonstrating commitment to her spouse and children, rather than making their role in her life invisible, a behavior many believe is necessary for success in academia (Lynch, 2008). As faculty, women or men, become more transparent about their own identities and model for candidates how they blend and intersect their multiple identities, the culture of academia might slowly change and recognize the value-added from honoring and intersecting multiple identities.…”

“…The phenomenon of role conflict for women doctoral students is beginning to be documented in the literature (L. Brown & Watson, 2010;Carter, Blumenstein, & Cook, 2013;Eisenbach, 2013;Haynes, Bulosan, Citty, & Grant-Harris, 2012;Lynch, 2008); however, most of the literature on role conflict and management focuses on the residential, PhD, or first generation EdD programs where students often leave their professions and relocate to become students (Lee, Green, & Brennan, 2000). The concept of the motherhood penalty in higher education is well documented in the literature on faculty as researchers have examined faculty with children teaching in tenure-track positions and found disparity between men and women (M. Baker, 2012Baker, , 2016Craft & Maseberg-Tomlinson, 2015;Cummins, 2012;Jakubiec, 2015;McCutcheon & Morrison, 2016;Seher, & Iverson, 2015;Stinchfield, & Trepal, 2010;Summers, & Clarke, 2015;Ward, 2014;Wolf-Wendel & Ward, 2015;Sallee, Ward, and Wolf-Wendel, (2016) purported that academic mothers experience greater responsibility related to household tasks and childcare than academic fathers.…”

“…A su vez Lynch (2008) reclama medidas relacionadas con las estructuras del entorno como el apoyo financiero a las madres y padres universitarios. En términos generales, los participantes de su estudio consideraron que se les ofrecía poco apoyo financiero y que las escasas ayudas recibidas no estaban pensadas para madres, sino más bien para personas sin hijas/os.…”

“…Actitudes del alumnado adoptables a favor de la conciliación estudiantil-familiar recoge "la importancia del apoyo emocional y el aliento tácito y explicito, el respeto mutuo, la alabanza, el tiempo pasado con los tutores, el reconocimiento a la vida privada de los estudiantes y la creación de redes a favor de la madre estudiante" (Lynch, 2008, p. 599), como una oportunidad significativa para incrementar el capital humano (Shepherd y Mullins Nelson, 2012). Las madres y padres estudiantes precisan vincularse a las identidades socio-culturales a través de prácticas identitarias, y del apoyo del profesorado o asesoras/es, compañeras/os y familias (Lynch, 2008).…”

“…Estos estudios suelen vincularse a madres y padres estudiantes de posgrado y/o estudiantes de grado adultos (al menos de mayor edad que los estudiantes tradicionales) que incluso trabajan a tiempo completo o parcial (Lowe y Gayle, 2007). Pertenecen a una línea de investigación emergente durante las dos últimas décadas y abordan aspectos relacionados con los recursos de apoyo que debe ofrecer la institución universitaria; las implicaciones políticas en cuestiones de igualdad de oportunidades educativas en la Educación Superior (Brown y Nichols, 2012; Springer, Parker y LevitenReid, 2009); el crecimiento integral de los estudiantes; el retorno de madres a la educación superior; la necesidad de preparar y atraer a esta población de madres y padres a la universidad, mediante políticas y programaciones adecuadas, a través de medidas relacionadas con las estructuras del entorno y el apoyo financiero (Lynch, 2008); la importancia de alentar y apoyar a más estudiantes adultos a participar en posgrados como oportunidad para aumentar el capital humano (Shepherd y Mullins Nelson, 2012); los problemas de desigualdad por razones de género que ocasiona entre alumnas y alumnos la falta de conciliación familiar (Vryonides y Vitsilakis, 2008); las barreras que encuentra el alumnado adulto en el progreso académico y, en particular, en el desarrollo de sus tesis doctorales (Eisenbach, 2013); los factores que contribuyen al éxito y las estrategias que desarrolla este alumnado no tradicional para superar las dificultades a la conciliación; el estrés, desgaste y afecciones a la salud que genera esta situación al alumnado (Demers, 2014). Son estudios reivindicativos característicos principalmente de países desarrollados como Reino Unido, Grecia, Estados Unidos y Australia.…”
