2026 TAA Institute Bookstore Featured Book: ‘Productivity, Professionalism, and Parenting in Academia’

Drawing on time use diary analysis, the unique and detailed study in Productivity, Professionalism, and Parenting in Academia: Rhet Comp Moms by Christine Tulley, fills in the larger narrative about what it takes, hour by hour, to navigate academic motherhood with a rhetoric and composition career.

Looking specifically at the intersections between parenting and writing for publication in order to find out how and when writing for career-advancing tasks such as publication occur, but also through the lens of disciplinary time constraints including heavy grading and administrative workloads, the book examines support systems noted within diary entries that make combining motherhood and a career in rhetoric and composition possible.
