A practical, accessible handbook for chairing a department. 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.
How to Chair a Department 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:
* hiring tenure-track and visiting faculty * mentoring faculty
colleagues at every stage of their careers * working with staff and
other departmental administrators * managing department resources
and budgets * meeting the needs of students * dealing with stress
and conflict * connecting the department to the larger university
or college as a whole * overseeing the department's curricula *
maintaining a scholarly or creative profile * preparing for career
moves after chairing a department How to Chair a Department
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.
