World Breastfeeding Week is this week, Aug. 1–7, and it’s a good time to celebrate positive changes in higher education settings related to reproductive labor like pregnancy, childbirth and infant-feeding, and to consider what can be done better. Far from a culture of support, there is a persistent “motherhood penalty” for the predominantly female-identified folks who perform reproductive labor. Faculty who need accommodations for reproductive labor still face perceptions that they are less productive, and that childrearing is fundamentally “your own business.” The struggles of pregnant students have been well documented, as students often find administrators are unclear about available accommodations. Whenever I talk about my research concerning teachers lactating in K-12 settings, colleagues in higher education are eager to tell me their stories.
