Do you feel pressure to serve as role models, advisors and mentors to students who share social identities with you? Do you feel overwhelmed by service requests?  Are you struggling to respond effectively to classroom dynamics shaped by race, gender, and class? Do you experience a lack of support network, mentors, community, and sponsors? In this workshop, you will identify common challenges underrepresented faculty face and learn strategies for increasing productivity, serving strategically, teaching efficiently, and building a strong professional network. In partnership with Mount Holyoke College, Amherst College, and the Five College-Mellon Building Academic Leaders in the Humanities Program.
