Workshop: Succeeding as Women of Color in Academia
Date/Time: May. 4th, 2022 / 6:00pm Pacific Standard Time
Instructor: Lily Hoang
The academic job market might be frightful, but as the children of refugees and immigrants, negotiating the tenure track requires skills that are often counter to our upbringing. In this event, we will discuss practical strategies for success in academic jobs, from the job market to negotiations to tenure and promotion. Please bring questions and your personal experiences!
