By viewing and discussing various vignettes portraying P&T panel discussions, audiences practice identifying and responding to dynamics that can undermine a fair and accountable tenure process. They also consider big questions related to evaluating colleagues for tenure and promotion in the current moment. This session was developed in collaboration with the U-M ADVANCE Program, the College of LSA, and the College of Engineering. It is appropriate for all individuals involved in the evaluation of faculty candidates for tenure and/or promotion.
The session can be offered in-person in 60 or 120 minute versions. It is available by request, depending on the Players capacity.
In this session, participants will:
- Consider how bias can undermine the goal of a fair and accountable review.
- Practice strategies for addressing concerns about fairness or accountability within the review process.
- Explore emerging questions and promotion and tenure evaluation.
What people have said about :
Very well done, the most effective diversity, equity, and inclusion event I have attended.
Excellent and not what I expected! Thought provoking!
This was an excellently crafted workshop. It was far more effective than I would have imagined - the scenarios were very realistic as were the faculty roles depicted. Every character was attempting to adhere to higher goals and arguably was trying to do the "right thing" - the interactions depicted multiple dynamics as well. It gave one a lot to think about - and so was far more efficient than the usual talking head/power point presentation. The moderator was very effective in eliciting and guiding discussion. Excellent work!
