On 12/01/2022 from 3:00-4:30 PM EST, Dr. Lauren A. Wendling, Associate Director at LEAD California, is presenting her research on how school- and department-level promotion and tenure committees not only define and understand faculty’s engaged research, but how they evaluate it. Registration Link.
This study explored what goes into making evaluative decisions, if/how committees utilize tools for evaluation, and how evaluative decisions are made. In this single case multi-site qualitative study 12 participants across five R1 institutions classified as engaged by the Carnegie Foundation, participated in semi-structured interviews. All participants were tenured, engaged scholars with experience serving on a school- and/or department-level promotion and tenure review committee.
