Marginalized women have long used the collective power in this way – turning to one another for support through circumstances certainly as challenging and frightful as the pandemic and using the collaborative learning to build new futures for their children, their students and, by extension, society. Using a circle methodology and abuelita epistemologies framework, we engage in the different process of (re)membering ourselves as MotherScholars, in order to rupture the violent logic of structural racism in the academy, intensified by the global pandemic. The stillness of the earth provided a space for us MotherScholars to listen in a new way, to bring back ancestral wisdom and center it to survive, to heal, and to build a new way of being MotherScholars.","PeriodicalId":39777,"journal":{"name":"Peabody Journal of Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42760155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Burrow","doi":"10.1017/S0424208400011967","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0424208400011967","url":null,"abstract":"In a recent lecture he gave at Girton College to celebrate the life and work of Eileen Power, Professor Patrick Collinson divided historical writing on women into two types, the pessimistic and the optimistic, the school which believes that women have been discriminated against by men throughout the ages and sets out to document this oppression, and the other which, while not minimizing the difficulties with which women have had to contend, emphasizes their achievements rather than their failures. When the Ecclesiastical History Society selected ' Women in the Church' as its theme for the academic year 1989—90 it seemed likely that representatives of both these historiographical groups might be involved in the venture. The chief reason for choosing this precise topic as the subject for a year's deliberations was its relative novelty, although the enthusiastic reception of Medieval Women, the Festschrift presented by the Society to Professor Rosalind Hill in 1978, had demonstrated both the widespread interest in the subject and the abundance of material available for the study of women in the Middle Ages. It was hoped that the theme would be sufficiently broad to embrace both discussions of the Church's official teaching concerning women, what churchmen thought it was fitting women should, and should not do, and also investigations into what women actually did in the Church, such as their role as evangelists, as founders of religious orders and movements, as educators, as philanthropists, as clerical patrons, as well as preservers of old religious practices. While the theme could clearly allow an exploration of specifically feminist issues, such as the campaigns for the ordination of women to the priesthood, it was not envisaged as being overtly political, but rather as a historical assessment of the activities of women in the Church from the first century until the present day. The excellent contributions the theme has inspired, touching as they do upon almost all of these aspects of the life of women in the Church, have amply fulfilled these expectations. Overall, the more optimistic school of writing on women's history has tended to predominate, though Janet Nelson, in her nuanced essay on equivocal reactions to the speech of women in the Carolingian period, draws attention to clerical misogyny which, sometimes hidden, sometimes in the open, has proved such a constant motif over the centuries.

Then the paper takes a narrative turn employing Pinay methodologies such as kuwentos. Each kuwento illuminates how Pinay Motherscholars navigate the hate found in a patriarchal and whitesupremacist academy and the white supremacy in their own communities under anti-Asian COVID-19, while still raising their Filipino children with love and in love. Though Motherscholars writ large are experiencing a similar exhaustion of working while rearing children, Pinay Motherscholars are experiencing a deeper exhaustion from working while not only rearing but also protecting, debunking, and saving our children’s identities, souls, and hearts in the face of anti-Asian racism. To illuminate this compounded exhaustion, interspersed throughout the paper is a poetic assemblage that serves as a forever literary metaphor of what it is like to raise love in a time of lovelessness.","PeriodicalId":39777,"journal":{"name":"Peabody Journal of Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47153772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly academic mothers are left grappling with the impact of social and institutional shifts that took place due to the global pandemic. We, two early career multinational and Muslim MotherScholars, ask ourselves how these shifts are affecting our own entanglements of scholarship, job market navigation, motherhood, childcare responsibilities and routines, family traditions, and religious observation through feminist autoethnography. We used the concept of “liminal space” as our theoretical foundation. Data were collected through journal entries and analytic memos, and four vignettes were composed to (re)present the analysis. The vignettes display how Western dominant and nondominant spaces inform the ways in which the authors’ identities are interloped, muted, contested, and thrown into tension with changing social and institutional expectations during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research has implications for higher education administrators who wish to gain a glimpse into the lived experiences and barriers of their international, Muslim, mothering employees, and for MotherScholars who live through similar complex and shifting identities to see validation and representation.","PeriodicalId":39777,"journal":{"name":"Peabody Journal of Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42133882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use narrative inquiry to explore our lived experiences as LDS MotherScholars by conducting three story cycles, using prompts about the past, present, and imagined possibilities for the future. Specifically, we looked for ways the emerging COVID-19 pandemic provided opportunities for us to reimagine harmonizing our lives across home and workspaces. Stories revealed the logistical and emotional tensions inherent in MotherScholarship, pointing to an urgent high-stakes sense of potential failure in both arenas. Our analyses identified patterns of hiding/compartmentalizing parts of self, as well as similarities between motherhood and scholarship. Using Standpoint theory, we rejected the notion of ”balance” as not useful (or real) as we re-envisioned our future lives as MotherScholars being ”braided” across spaces that include both motherhood and scholarship.

This study explores how cultural schemas and ideologies around work and family impacted how academic mothers adapted to the strains created by the COVID-19 shutdown in the spring of 2020. Quantitative and qualitative data from a novel survey was used to explore and analyze the gendered division of household labor and the professional impacts the pandemic had on faculty mothers.
