Division J Mid-Career Workshop Pre-Conference Session

Session Type: Pre-Conference Mentoring Session

Abstract

Many associate professors feel “stuck in the middle” -plagued with growing service expectations (particularly for women & other underrepresented faculty), misalignment between workload and reward systems, vague & unclear criteria for advancement to full professorship, increased responsibilities, and multiplying demands on their time. This AERA workshop session will provide mid-career faculty strategies to assert themselves and find support in challenging contexts while assuming personal agency over their careers.
Topics include: Managing your Research Pipeline; Crafting a Compelling Narrative; SWOT Analysis; Assuming Agency & Work Life Balance; Tips, Tools, and Hacks to get to Full Professorship; Developing Your Voice/Persuasive Strategies

Faculty who are post-tenure with 10 plus years until retirement should apply to participate.
