Workshop: (The desire of) having kids and science – space for reflection for academics OPEN TO PARENTS AND THOSE WHO ARE PLANNING TO HAVE KIDS IN THE NEAR FUTURE (Max 20 participants) At some point, many people in academia are confronted with questions around parenthood, whether through personal desire, social expectations, or structural pressures. Yet there are few spaces to openly reflect on these questions. This workshop creates a supportive and confidential environment to explore personal perspectives on having (or not having) children, while also critically examining the structural realities of academia. • Guided reflection on personal desires and decisions • Open, solidarity-based exchange with peers • Analysis of structural conditions in academia • Empowerment through shared experiences • Building awareness and support networks Library, Ground Floor, Building A, Faradayweg 4-6, 14195, Berlin
