About Me: 

I am a part-time PhD student studying the rhetorical construction of identity and difference, a full-time employee in education, a wife, and a new mother. My blog, Balancing Jane, serves as a space to analyze the intersections of these roles. As a result, I often analyze things like equally shared parenting, the perceptions of women in the workforce, and the media portrayal of gender and racial identities.

Equally shared parenting, feminism, anti-racism, equality, inclusion, equal access education
