Power, Corruption and Lies? Learning from Critical Experiences of Academic Service
Program Session #: 198 |Sponsors: CMS, ODC
Scheduled: Friday, Aug 7 2015 5:45PM - 7:15PM at Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel in Pinnacle Ballroom I
There are regular professional development workshops that provide normative guidance for members of the academic community who wish to occupy positions of power such as department head or dean. This workshop approaches this key aspect of academic work from a different perspective, by encouraging critical reflection on recent and current experiences of these and other forms of institutional work. The workshop is specifically designed to enable productive conversation between those in positions of power and those subject to varieties of academic administration, management and leadership. Brief presentations, group work, and panel discussion are all oriented towards developing clear proposals for encouraging change, education, and critique. This is a highly interactive workshop that brings together colleagues with extensive experience of academic service and newer colleagues, to establish what can be learned from critical reflection on those experiences.
