Description: This theoretical paper brings together existing research from diverse sources to examine the challenges faced by female academics in creative industries who are also mothers. Such academics, as well as being excellent creative practitioners, are those who use creative practice as rigorous enquiry to interrogate research questions. The academic and cultural ecosystems in which these women need to operate are explored through three key barriers that prevent equal career opportunities for female creative practitioners who have children and choose to work in academia.
