ethics, effective communication, teams, mentoring, and toxic
leadership.This book features integration of the case studies in

This book brings together leading practitioners and scholars
engaged in professional development programming for and research on
mid-career faculty members. The chapters focus on key areas of
career development and advancement that can enhance both individual
growth and institutional change to better support mid-career
faculties. The mid-career stage is the longest segment of the
faculty career and it contains the largest cohort of faculty. Also,
mid-career faculty are tasked with being the next generation of
faculty leaders and mentors on their respective campuses, with
little to no supports to do so effectively, at a time when higher
education continues to face unprecedented challenges while managing
the continued goal of diversifying both the student and faculty
bodies. The stories, examples, data, and resources shared in this
book will provide inspiration--and reality checks--to the
administrators, faculty developers, and department chairs charged
with better supporting their faculties as they engage in academic
work. Current and prospective faculty members will learn about
trends in mid-career faculty development resources, see examples of
how to create such supports when they are lacking on their
campuses, and gain insights on how to strategically advance their
own careers based on the realities of the professoriate. The book
features a variety of institution types: community colleges,
regional/comprehensive institutions, liberal arts colleges, public
research universities, ivy league institutions, international
institutions, and those with targeted missions such as HSI/MSI and
Jesuit. Topics include faculty development for formal and informal
leadership roles; strategies to support professional growth,
renewal, time and people management; teaching and learning as a
form of scholarship; the role of learning communities and networks
as a source of support and professional revitalization; global
engagement to support scholarship and teaching; strategies to
recruit, retain, and promote underrepresented faculty populations;
the policy-practice connection; and gender differences related to
key mid-career outcomes. While the authors acknowledge that the
challenges facing the mid-career stage are numerous and varying,
they offer a counter narrative by looking at ways that faculty
and/or institutions can assert themselves to find opportunities
within challenging contexts. They suggest that these challenges
highlight priority mentoring areas, and support the creation of new
and innovative faculty development supports at institutional,
departmental, and individual levels.

Developing Faculty Members in Liberal Arts Colleges analyzes the
career stage challenges these faculty members must overcome, such
as a lack of preparation for teaching, limited access to resources
and mentors, and changing expectations for excellence in teaching,
research, and service to become academic leaders in their
discipline and at these distinctive institutions. Drawing on
research conducted at the thirteen institutions of the Great Lakes
Colleges Association, Vicki L. Baker, Laura Gail Lunsford, and
Meghan J. Pifer propose a compelling Alignment Framework for
Faculty Development in Liberal Arts Colleges to show how these
colleges succeed-or sometimes fail-in providing their faculties
with the right support to be successful.
