On The High Wire looks at a specific subset of university faculty, education faculty with school-aged children, and the specific professional/personal balance these faculty need to find. The title On the High Wire suggests the precarious nature of the walk for education faculty who are parents of school-aged children. We know that our identities are central to how we experience.
