3510 - Race, Gender, and Tenure: Getting It and Mentoring Colleagues When We Have It

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Description

Faculty of color and women often have significantly different experiences than their white and/or male counterparts when they come up for tenure. This workshop will focus on these differences, provide resources for faculty of color and women to challenge potentially negative outcomes of the tenure process, and strategies to engage in prior to tenure to attempt to ensure positive outcomes. Panelists represent a range of experiences and positions to best address the various difficulties that faculty experience, as well as pathways and best practices to facilitate positive outcomes. Panelists will also address how to lay the groundwork for a successful tenure review process by beginning considerations of these issues as early in their career as possible as well as a discussion for what tenured faculty can do to mentor women and faculty of color in the academy. Finally, in addition to presenting information, all panelists look forward to answering questions from those in attendance regarding specific issues. We hope for an interactive and dynamic conversation.
