Life after tenure: Professional development strategies for mid-career faculty

Abstract

Many publications, institutional policies, and resources focus on the professional development of doctoral students and junior faculty while professional development needs and resources available to mid-career faculty receive limited attention. The proposed panel aims to facilitate a discussion on issues faced by mid-career faculty in the information disciplines. Professional development resources and strategies currently available to mid-career faculty and administration will also be discussed. The panelists will include mid-career and senior faculty from various institutions and information disciplines who will bring their multi-disciplinary and international perspectives to the panel. The panel will be of interest to faculty and academic administrators at all-levels of their careers.
