Beschreibung

<p><b>A practical, accessible handbook for chairing a department.</b></p><p>Over the course of a typical academic career, most faculty will serve at least one term as chair of a department. It's a leadership and service role that's at the very heart of faculty satisfaction and student success, yet few receive any training on how to do the job. <i>How to Chair a Department</i> is a practical, accessible handbook for new and prospective chairs, providing both principles and practices for effective departmental leadership. Based on his dozen years of chairing departments, Kevin Dettmar provides invaluable advice on:</p><p>- hiring tenure-track and visiting faculty<br>- mentoring faculty colleagues at every stage of their careers<br>- working with staff and other departmental administrators<br>- managing department resources and budgets<br>- meeting the needs of students<br>- dealing with stress and conflict<br>- connecting the department to the larger university or college as a whole<br>- overseeing the department's curricula<br>- maintaining a scholarly or creative profile<br>- preparing for career moves after chairing a department</p><p><i>How to Chair a Department</i> demystifies this important faculty position and argues that the role of chair, though sometimes seen as a burden, can prove to be a genuine opportunity for personal and professional growth.</p>
