Division B Preconference New Faculty Seminar: Navigating Institutional and Academic Pathways (Day 1 of 2)

Session Type: Mentoring Session

Abstract

Universities are old inventions and ever-changing sites of knowledge-production. The challenges of beginning a new university position, earning tenure or contract renewal, designing research projects, publications, grant applications, teaching, and service all matter. In addition to the idiosyncrasies of each institution are broader historic patterns of interactions and power relations that new faculty are often made to navigate. This seminar is designed to support and mentor new faculty through the forest and the trees of academe. It draws on the experience of faculty who have gone through tenure and promotion processes successfully in a range of university settings.
