Event: Service Workload Equity Mentoring-for-Leadership Session
Thursday, January 25, 2024, 12 – 1:15pm PST
Our January Mentoring-for-Leadership Lunch will focus on service work equity. Service work is part of the faculty workload, and some service work provides meaning and value and supports career development. However, not all service work is equally valued or recognized. Women and URM faculty and faculty from other marginalized groups disproportionately carry a higher service load. This workload distribution leaves certain groups with less time for research, other career advancement opportunities, and personal time. In this Mentoring-for-Leadership lunch, we will engage with strategies from The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-end Work and the Faculty Workload and Rewards Project to not only acknowledge, measure, and account for service workload and “non-promotable tasks,” but to also move toward equity-minded faculty workload and service work. This event builds upon the May 2023 Mentoring-for-Leadership lunch with Dr. Laurie Weingart, co-author of “The No Club” and Richard M. and Margaret S. Cyert Professor of Organizational Behavior and Theory at Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business.
