Pre-Conference Workshop

Navigating the Challenges of Tenure and Promotion as an Engaged Scholar

(Limit: 50)

Many faculty who conduct community-engaged scholarship anticipate and encounter challenges in the tenure and promotion systems. 

Sometimes these challenges are built into the institutional processes; sometimes the challenges are for faculty to present their engaged scholarship as viable and relevant work. 

This workshop will involve participants in identifying ways to document and present their scholarship to help successfully navigate the T&P systems, and will offer resources to assist faculty in developing their dossiers.
