Deep questions about sense of purpose.
Join me on the Higher Ed Geek
Faculty success and wellbeing are key themes for higher education. I speak with Dustin Ramsdell on succeeding in academia, including a discussion of successful academic publishing, work/life balance, and finding ones purpose. I also discuss ways for a university to create a supportive work culture . We focus on highlights my recent book, The Empowered Professor. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and elsewhere.
Disillusionment seems to be growing as universities increasingly focus on building as many large undergraduate courses as possible with shrinking faculty voice and shared decision making.
Leaving the academy has become less tenuous as research positions are disappearing.
I work with these clients on broadening their sense of agency,.
Some revision how they approach their current position.
Some shift to new positions in their universities.
Some pick up a side hustle. Others leave academia altogether.
This exploration of new career lanes as well as reigniting a new sense of purpose is what we do in coaching. Reach out if you’d like to schedule time to learn more about how to find your way forward. dana@danamitra.net www.danamitra.net
