Today the @UConn Board of Trustees voted on tenure and promotion decisions. A BIG congratulations to everyone whose tenure and/or promotion was approved. 🎊 Happy to report that I am one of them. A thread 🧵 …
Women have long earned more than half of all doctorates awarded in the US. 💪🏻 Yet, women who are promoted to full professor, like me, represent only about 36% of all full profs. 📉 Disparity is real, & smart folk have done good work showing why this disparity exists & persists.
So…you don’t get to full professor without a squad.
Within academia, my ride or die people are, in no particular order: @jennieweiner @aartibellara @LyssaBecho @DanielaSchroet1 @LearnWithDana Suzanne Wilson & Tina Christie. Y’all have cheered me on &, when needed, lifted me up. 🫶🏻(Sorry if I forgot anyone!🤦♀️)
My students are a BIG part of why I am an academic—I truly enjoy teaching and mentoring. 👩🏫There are TOO many students to name who I have been fortunate enough to mentor, who inspire me, and who give me great hope for the future of evaluation and education.
