Fieldwork While Parenting

These are a collection of narratives by people who have conducted fieldwork with their children (side-by-side, with a caregiver at a field site/station, or pumping). If you have a story you are willing to share we would love to post it, please see the Welcome post (first post) for more details. A number of wonderful parents have kindly offered to share stories during this summer, so please be sure to check back in for those.
