Welcome

The Spousework.org website is a place where partners of academic leaders can find support. It serves as a resource for those who are partnering heads of colleges, universities and independent schools, by providing links to articles of interest. The site was recently enhanced by the addition of a forum page. To start things off, we have provided some suggested topics for discussion, based loosely on the contents of the book, Spousework: Partners Supporting Academic Leaders. We hope that, in time, the site’s users will contact us with suggestions for additional topics.

We are actively updating a list of relevant articles on understanding the experiences of higher education leaders and their spouses. These can be found on the "Links" page.

We invite you to send along your suggestions for this website by emailing us.
