Charting Your Path to Full
A Guide for Women Associate Professors
By Vicki L. Baker; Foreword by Pamela L. Eddy
Rutgers University Press
Institutions, faculty, and students benefit when women academics advance in their careers, yet research shows that women academics are more likely to stall at the associate professor stage of their careers than men. Charting Your Path to Full is a data- and literature-informed resource aimed at helping women in the professoriate excel in their careers, regardless of discipline and institution type. Vicki L. Baker draws on human resources, organizational studies, and positive organizational psychology to help women first focus on their joy as the primary driver of career and personal pursuits, and provides action steps, “To Do” lists, and additional tools and resources to lay out a clear step-by-step approach to help women academics reach their goals. Baker’s wealth of consulting and research insights provides a compelling and accessible approach to supporting women as they re-envision their careers.
Informative and timely, Charting Your Path to Full will help real faculty achieve their professional goals. The exercises in the book will be beneficial to professors with numerous identities, in different disciplines, and at different institutional types.
This excellent volume on the experiences of women at mid-career helps to diagnose and to transform the conditions, policies, and practices that get in the way of women's advancement. Each chapter helps us clarify goals, develop community, integrate work and family, and advance work that brings us joy.
