Participate in the Workshop Series for Junior Faculty for natural and social scientists at CUNY. As part of a newly awarded NSF grant to Hunter College and CUNY, the Gender Equity Project is offering a series of 3 day-long workshops to develop male and female junior faculty who are engaged in basic science and engineering at participating CUNY schools. Participants in the first series have been enthusiastic about the content, organization, and style of the workshops.
The Workshop Series for Junior Faculty is being offered in two parts
- 2 days of workshops near the beginning of each semester and
- 1 day of workshops after the semester
The timing of the workshops is largely dictated by geographical constraints - faculty will attend from all 5 New York City boroughs - and by personal responsibilities that are particularly likely to affect women and minorities (on weekends and evenings).
During the 3 days of each workshop series, the GEP addresses approximately 10 - 12 topics that cover the techniques, skills, strategies, and knowledge necessary for professional success. Each day starts at 10:00 am and runs through 5:00 pm. There are short breaks throughout the day, including a break for a networking lunch (provided by the GEP). Here are some sample topics: a circle of advisors (instead of a mentor), time management, creating a CV, teaching efficiently and effectively, balancing research, teaching, and service, speaking at conferences, tenure and promotion, negotiation and entitlement, publishing and handling rejection, grant writing, maximizing gains during the summer. The workshops also address how gender and ethnicity affect faculty and discuss how to develop individual, institutional, and discipline-level solutions to the underrepresentation of women and minority-status scholars.
Participants can communicate with each other and with the GEP via an online discussion board.
