Theresa Mercer – School of Geography – Senior Lecturer – Staff Profile

Andrew Kythreotis – School of Geography – Senior Lecturer – Staff Profile

Two of our academics have written an article for the Times Higher Education (THE) group relating their experience of working from home while juggling childcare. Theresa and Andrew both teach in the School of Geography at the University of Lincoln. This article is a continuation from their previous article which can be found here.

This article describes their experiences of supporting students in their regular tertiary teaching duties as well as supporting their child by becoming supplementary primary school teachers.  They talk about the trials and successes that they have gone through and look forward to what the future holds as a family and as teachers.
