Abstract

This chapter is a culmination of conversations between two ParentScholars. One, an academic mother; the other, an academic father. Both share their journey from PK12 classrooms into higher education. Their lived experiences have shaped their identities and continue to transform who they are as parents and as scholars. The ParentScholars in this chapter examine not only their roles as parents and scholars, but also the ways in which gender and other social identities impact their lives. Major themes explored through their personal stories include expectations, communications, teaching, and decision-making. The authors name ParentScholar in an effort to better define and understand the complexities of what it means to be a parent and a scholar.
