“Institutions and campus administrators need to provide robust resources and support to faculty developers as critical campus partners — their importance, and our reliance on their expertise, will only grow in the coming years. Facilitating Mid-Career Faculty Programs answers this call and does so in the most informative, accessible way.”Vicki L. Baker, E. Maynard Aris Endowed Professor in Economics and Management at Albion College, USA“This book provides a much-needed road ‘MAPP’ for faculty, faculty developers, and institutions interested in creating meaningful supports to help mid-career faculty thrive. The book offers a robust intervention for addressing mid-career challenges — a thoughtfully designed, evidence-based program that can be implemented as-is or adapted to different institutional contexts. The sample activities and resources help facilitators create time, space, and community for important self-reflection and conversations.”Deandra Little, Associate Provost of Faculty Affairs and Professor of English, Elon University, USA“Facilitating Mid-Career Faculty Programs is an essential exploration into the often-overlooked stage of a faculty member’s career. This book delves into the unique challenges of mid-career faculty, those who have navigated tenure and promotion but are still years away from retirement. It sheds light on the ‘mid-career malaise’ that pervades across disciplines and demographics, highlighting the need for more institutional support and resources for this critical group. A must-read for anyone invested in the future of academia.”Melanie Hamilton, Director, Jane and Ron Graham Centre for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, University of Saskatchewan, Canada“Participating in the MAPP pilot provided both a jolt of energy and a breath of fresh air at a needed point in my career. The program enabled time for valuable reflection. In particular, I have revisited the professional development plan first completed in MAPP as an annual check-in with myself. This practice has helped me refine my decision-making about new projects and develop boundaries around my time and talents.”Rose Stremlau, Charles A. Dana Associate Professor of History, Davidson College, USA
