A groundbreaking paper, Work and Life in Dynamic Equilibrium, authored by Interfaces of Global Change alumni Dr. Catherine JachowskiDr. Laura SchoenleDr. Heather Govenor, and Dr. Sydney Hope, introduces the concept of a dynamic work–life equilibrium (WLE).

Inspired by discussions that took place during the IGC’s 10-Year Anniversary Celebration alumni panel, the paper draws parallels between ecological processes and the evolving nature of balancing professional and personal roles.

It encourages self-reflection and mentoring within the field of ecology, offering tools to navigate work-life dynamics thoughtfully and effectively.
