McIntyre and Laurie-Ann M.

Self-reflection was used to explore the factors that have helped or hindered the development of their research program, and the continued challenges they faced as female faculty. Composite themes were generated, using resiliency theory as the framework for discussions. Results are discussed with reference to a multidimensional conceptual model of researcher development put forth by Evans (2011).  \nKey Words: female academics; research program; autoethnography; resilience  \nDr. Laureen J.

For example, factors contributing to difficulties for women in academic settings include networking that excludes women and work-family conflicts (Bassett, 2005; Foster et al., 2000) . In addition, despite idealistic expectations (Rice, Sorcinelli, & Austin, 2000), faculty report unbalanced lives and feelings of loneliness, isolation, and rivalry between colleagues (Greene et al., 2008) . Novice faculty also report becoming dissatisfied, overworked, stressed, and physically ill (Hellsten, Martin, & McIntyre, 2010; Hellsten, McIntyre, Martin, & Kinzel, 2011; Hill, 2004), as they attempt to meet the often unwieldy, vague, and increasing tenure and promotion requirements (Schuster & Finklestein, 2006) . The resulting gender disparities (e.g., salary, merit pay) only grow when universities place more emphasis on research relative to teaching and service (Mason & Goulden, 2002) . However, despite a growing body of literature examining the scholarship of researcher development (Evans, 2011), there is no peer reviewed research literature exploring the challenges female academics experience when working to establish a program of research in today’s academic environment. In order to address the existing shortfalls in academic institutions, we must first attempt to understand the challenges facing female academics as they work to establish a program of research and generate possible solutions to address these problems. It is important for novice faculty members to share their challenges and tribulations since it can be“therapeutic, healing, and affirming”(Kawalilak & Groen, 2010, p. 6) .  \nAs post-tenure female faculty members, we have endeavoured to share some of our experiences in navigating the university work environment. In our first article, we presented an autoethnographic exploration of three women’s experiences of the journey to tenure. Individual stories and composite themes were generated through reflexive writing and focused conversations about our experiences as women navigating the challenges and rewards of the tenure and promot","cbCaiv3FCamcZBf9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv3FCamcZBf9","pdf",354841,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Methodology","[{\"question\":\"What method does the paper use to explore the faculty members’ research pathways?\",\"answer\":\"It uses auto-ethnographic exploration supported by self-reflection, reflexive writing, and narrative analysis of the researchers’ own experiences.\"},{\"question\":\"What framework guides the discussion of themes in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The paper uses resiliency theory as the framework and interprets results with reference to Evans’ (2011) multidimensional conceptual model of researcher development.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the research journeys described in the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper focuses on the development of a research program, examining factors that help or hinder post-tenure female faculty as they navigate ongoing challenges in the academic environment.\"}]","Forging a Research Pathway - Perspectives of Two Post-Tenure Female Faculty Members | PDF",1792079466,25]
