Within academia, there is a lot of focus and advice around getting tenure—understandably, as it represents a singular evaluation hurdle within tenure-granting institutions. Yet, academic careers can be long, and there are many decisions to be made after tenure about how to invest one’s time and energy. In this pair of sessions, six scholars will discuss midlife in academia and how they have approached choices within their careers.
Our speakers include Adam Gamoran (William T. Grant Foundation), Jennifer Glass (UT-Austin), and Zhenchao Qian (Brown).
