Course Description
Research has shown that faculty women - and especially women of color - find themselves doing more service than their male counterparts . Negotiating departmental dynamics, research collaborations, and committee requests while maintaining positive relationships is a skill that every female faculty member needs. In this hands-on workshop, Dr. Michele Williams will cover problem-solving negotiation strategies for nice people and how to harness the power of “No” to regain the time and respect you need to focus on your career, your personal life (self-care), and your family. And yes, we will talk about how intersectional stereotypes enter into the mix.
