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 Professional
Development Workshop (PDW) is to help develop an awareness of the processes
used by prolific faculty. Although most PDWs use esteemed senior scholars as
panelists, we propose a model that uses peer junior faculty members who have
established track records of research 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 uses a number of formats,
including individual presentations, 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 research 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
