Division B Early Career Curriculum Scholar Session: Thriving in the Contested Landscape of Education (Invitation Only)

Session Type: Pre-Conference Mentoring Session

Abstract

This seminar is designed for early career scholars meeting the challenges of the first years out of graduate school. These include developing a program of research and a writing discipline, finding outlets (academic and popular) for publications, possibly beginning a new faculty position, earning tenure or contract renewal, seeking internal and external research funding, and thriving in your teaching as well as community engagements and activism. New faculty members navigate the idiosyncrasies of institutions with a range of social and cultural contexts, including patterns of injustice, privilege, and power. This seminar is designed to support and mentor early career folks by gathering with scholar-mentors from Division B to focus on various topics related to scholarship, teaching, activism, and community engagement.
