Speakers will focus their remarks
on how to successfully navigate the tenure and promotion process. Topics will include
how to balance scholarship with teaching and service, how to build an external
network of support, and how to overcome common obstacles often encountered by
teacher-scholars of color. This session is intended to provide participants
with practical, concrete advice about how to set a scholarly agenda, to manage
internal and external reviews, and to position one’s self for success. In the
context of this discussion, speakers will identify things they came to know
post-tenure that they wish they had known pre-tenure.
