Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don’t: The Penalties of Motherhood (and Non-Motherhood)


I invite you to be part of this important conversation! We’ll be talking about how becoming a parent—or choosing not to—shapes the lives and careers of women and men. We’ll also explore how societal expectations around gender affect men—especially in their roles as partners, professionals, and caregivers—and how policy change can create better outcomes for everyone.

To enrich our discussion, we’re running a short survey for men to share their caregiving experiences—at work, at home, or both. Take the survey here: https://shorturl.at/gVYsg

This is a free live event that will take place via Zoom (https://lnkd.in/gRaafNQQ).

Wednesday May 21st
Europe: 16:00 WEST, 17:00hr CEST, 18hr EEST
US: 10am EST, 9am CST, 8am PST

I hope to see you all there!

    I really appreciated Dr. Wiggins' gently awakening response to audience questions. As a listener, and a white woman, I felt inspired and understood rather than defensive and resistant, and I think it's this kind of approach that can help us effectively bridge fault lines.-

    Creating and executing a DEI strategy is challenging to say the least. It certainly helps when you find partners who support you in creating "good trouble". I found a kindred spirit in Dr. Joy Wiggins. Not only is she a joy to work with and be around but she brings a passion for the work that I immensely admire. Dr. Joy leans into her privilege to create spaces for learning and growth. I've had the pleasure of working with her several times across organizations and I've always found her to be a professional with expertise in diversity, equity and inclusion. I would highly recommend Dr. Joy Wiggins as someone to work with as a speaker, teacher and trainer.

    Dr. Wiggins helped us immensely because we started a conversation that no one wanted to have, let alone start. We left feeling empowered with the knowledge and skills to ask appropriate and clear questions to our colleagues and supervisors when issues might arise.
