Clear as Mud: Promotion Clarity by Gender and BIPOC Status Across the Associate Professor Lifespan

Staying Engaged and Achieving Promotion: The Role of Collegial Support and Career Reflection and Assessment for Mid-Career Faculty

“…Lin and Kennette [20] advocated that tenure and promotion standards should be redesigned to develop a more "equitable review process" to take into account the invisible and emotional labor of BIPOC faculty and "address challenges related to teaching and scholarship that lead to discrepant outcomes compared to white faculty in order to amplify the contribution of women of color faculty" (p. 16). Kulp et al's [21] extensive study on clarity of standards in tenure and promotion identified that women experienced lower promotion clarity and the intersection of being a woman and BIPOC is related to significantly lower promotion clarity (p. 89). Further, BIPOC women can experience particularly strong resistance when applying for full professor [21].…”

Mid‐career faculty peer mentoring: Rationale and program design

“…Post‐tenure faculty can incur seemingly contrary experiences of, on one hand, loss of career momentum, professional lethargy, withdrawal, and burnout and, on the other hand, intensified career ambition, incessant work demands, and unrelenting stress (Bhardwaj et al., 2019; Kulp et al., 2022; Terwillegar et al., 2019). Whereas pre‐tenure mentoring and support have become more robust, mid‐career faculty often face a general lack of direct guidance, institutional support, and evaluation transparency.…”

Fairly assessing unfairness: An exploration of gender disparities in informal entrepreneurship amongst academics in business schools

“…Thus, by building on the "pair-matched" technique for data collection and analysis, the study opens the door to further development of more robust analyses and predictive models, for example, on the barriers and facilitators to overcoming gender disparities in science. Furthermore, the method could also be useful for the identification of disparities regarding other underrepresented academic groups, such as members of minorities or Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC, Kulp et al 2021), whose literature suffers from the same limitations on the comparison of populations with an nature (Madsen et al 2017).…”
