About this title

Synopsis

Creating Space for Ourselves as Minoritized and Marginalized Faculty moves away from conventional faculty success books by providing early career faculty with innovative perspectives about successfully navigating the professoriate, while humanizing their lived experiences and naming the unspoken. Through the use of interdisciplinary methods, such as creative artistic expression, testimonios, and personal narratives, chapter authors share experiences learned about surviving, thriving, navigating, and succeeding as early career underrepresented and marginalized faculty. Chapters discuss issues such as navigating workplace hostility, finding community beyond the academy, work–life balance, and crafting a scholarly identity, while also offering little-known tips about how to survive the professoriate while growing into thriving minoritized and underrepresented scholars. This book explores personal and institutional factors that are seldom discussed in other career success books, helping faculty as well as institutional leaders understand how we can, individually and collectively, create systems that invite and recognize humanity while ensuring successful career pathways for marginalized folks with doctoral degrees.
