In my paper I focus on academic mobility in the context of academics’ relationships and family lives. I ask what is the impact of mobility on researchers’ relationships and how does mobility affect the lives of the partners of mobile researchers. The analysis is based on i) 16 in-depth interviews with academics from various fields of research about their experiences of long-term fellowships abroad in the early stages of their academic path and on ii) 16 in-depth joint interviews with Czech dualcareer academic couples. I conclude that the impact of academic mobility on people’s partnership lives is highly gendered because couples’ work and family lives are closely intertwined.
