Faculty Career Advancement: Promotion to Full: Debunking Myths and Envisioning Advancement Workshop
Chambers Center 190The path to tenure is well-worn, and the “up-or-out” culture makes the timeline unambiguous. Promotion to full is often shrouded in more mystery with variation in both the path and the timeline. Diversity in faculty representation also decreases across stage, with inequities that begin long before receipt of an advanced degree accumulating, sometimes exponentially. This loss of diverse perspectives among full professors results in enormous costs to individuals, units, administration, and the students and communities we collaborate with and serve.
In this 2-hour workshop, we bring together a diverse panel of recently promoted full professors from different units across campus to share their struggles and successes in challenging myths and envisioning themselves as full. We are dedicated teacher-scholars, we serve, and we are people who balance and blend personal and professional obligations. We will first share panelists’ experiences and then work in small groups to support participant progress with structured prompts and activities.
