Description: With regard to research, a major challenge facing junior faculty is learning how to be productive. This implies that research productivity is a process that can be improved through learning. The main goal of this session is to help develop an awareness of the processes used by prolific faculty. Although most PDW's use esteemed senior scholars as panelists, our session uses peer junior faculty members who have established track records of productivity. A unique feature of this PDW is the focus on work and research productivity as a process. That is, presenters will discuss their work habits and how they go about their work (e.g., time allocation, co-authorships, writing blocks and strategies) as well as other "life" factors that influence their productivity (e.g., exercise, work/family balance). This session includes individual presentations, commentaries, large group Q&A, small group roundtables, and a report-out of summary findings.
Participants can expect to:
§ · hear about specific strategies for improving their productivity
· ask questions of the panelists (in a large session format as well as in smaller roundtable discussions)
· make connections with the panelists and other audience members
· share their own strategies related to the topics discussed in this session
· leave with a list of resources (e.g., books, articles, courses) from the panelists
Pre-register: Although pre-registration is not required, for planning purposes we would like to hear from those interested by July 30, 2010. Send an email to Abbie Shipp (ashipp@mays.tamu.edu) with the following information:
