Description
Although cross-disciplinary engagement is supported by seemingly everyone from federal funding agencies to college task forces, gaining your footing in a new place requires time, flexibility, and social currency that new faculty, particularly those in a fixed term position or on the tenure clock, struggle to find. This presentation maps the complex web of choices new faculty encounter. Each choice has a significant impact on faculty research, teaching, and ability to create cross-disciplinary engagement.
