Featuring chapters by a diverse group of feminist psychologists and social scientists, Feminist Scholars on the Road to Tenure: The Personal Is Professional provides readers with real-world insights and effective strategies for achieving tenure and ensuring the continued legacy of feminist scholarship within and beyond the academy.Opening chapters identify guideposts to achieving tenure as a feminist teacher and scholar, the promises and perils of conducting feminist research, and determining the tenure process and pacing. Readers then learn about the concept of the "invisible college," strategies for navigating the publishing process, developing a research program at both teaching-oriented and research-intensive institutions, and strategies for securing external funding. Additional chapters explore intersectional and antiracist pedagogy, dealing with marginalization in the classroom, value-drive service, cultivating professional communities, and conducting interdisciplinary scholarship and navigating joint appointments. Closing chapters address life after tenure and how advancement in the academy is a feminist project that can promote positive social change and equity.Featuring highly personal and practical perspectives, Feminist Scholars on the Road to Tenure is an exemplary resource for feminist scholars, especially those at early career stages.
