33: Caring for Aging Parents When You're on the Tenure Track [Pt. 1]

Dr. Katherine Lee

Many of us who are faculty who are in our 40s and 50s are part of what is called the “sandwich” generation. This means that some of us are providing care for both our aging parents as well as children while also trying to advance on the tenure track.

In this 33rd episode of the Rise with Clarity Podcast, I'll be discussing caring for aging parents when you're also a faculty member. This will be the first in a series of episodes on the topic of caregiving.
