If I Knew Then What I Know Now: Researchers’ Perspectives

Session Submission Type: Study Group

Abstract

This study group, sponsored by LRA’s Research Committee, is designed to support doctoral students and emerging scholars’ transition into the academy and research community. Literacy scholars, at different points in their careers and from diverse research perspectives, will share personal narratives and insights about their professional and academic trajectories (obtaining a tenure-track position, evolving their research agenda, and serving as external tenure reviewers) empowering others to take agency over their own professional journeys.
