🇬🇷 Your Story Matters—this is a unique opportunity to tell it.

We are seeking Greek mothersto share their experiences of matrescence—the emotional, cultural, and identity changes that come with becoming a mother.

Anyone who identifies as a Greek mother is welcome to participate, whether you currently live in Greece or have emigrated from Greece to the United States. (We are not recruiting Greek-American women raised primarily in the U.S. at this time)

❓What’s the study about?

We’re exploring how Greek women make meaning of motherhood, identity, culture, and personal growth. Your perspective will help deepen global understanding of matrescence—what feels uniquely Greek and what may be universal.

⏱ Time commitment: Approximately 2 hours

(Brief online survey + 60–90 minute Zoom interview)
If living in Greece, we will schedule interviews between 4:00–9:00 pm Greece time (EET) / 9:00 am–2:00 pm ET.

🦋 Why participate?

• Reflect on your own journey

• Share experiences that are often overlooked

• Contribute to research that may support better maternal care and cultural understanding

Reproductive Life Stories (TC IRB #25-340)

Are you a woman in medicine reflecting on your reproductive path? We’re inviting participants for a narrative-based research study co-sponsored by the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA).

This IRB-approved study explores how reproductive identity evolves over the course of a medical career—particularly during the pivotal years of residency, fellowship, and early practice. We are especially interested in hearing from residents, fellows, and physicians who are navigating or reflecting on reproductive choices while advancing professionally.

💬 Your lived experience matters. Too often, these conversations happen in private—if at all. Let’s change that.

In a confidential one-on-one Zoom interview, you’ll have the opportunity to share your story. We’re asking: How can institutions better support women in medicine through reproductive transitions? Your voice can help shape policy and promote structural change.

⏱️ Time commitment: ~2 hours Includes a brief online survey and a 60–90 minute semi-structured interview.
