The virtual workshop “Equitable Workloads” will be presented by Dr. Dawn Kiyoe Culpepper, Associate Director of the ADVANCE Program for Inclusive Excellence at the University of Maryland. Dr. Culpepper is co-author of a ACE report and set of resources on Equity-Minded Faculty Workloads.

About Equitable Workloads. Many faculty members experience their workloads as unfair, which can lead to lower satisfaction, decreased productivity, longer time to promotion, and departure. At the same time, many academic leaders and departments often avoid tackling the issue of workload reform because they fear "opening a can of worms." In this workshop, Dr. Culpepper will discuss why academic units should address workload inequities and provide an overview of how departments can put in place policies and practices shown to enhance equity in the way workload is taken up, assigned, and rewarded. Dr. Culpepper draws from extensive research and practical experience, including work on faculty workload funded by the National Science Foundation and consultations with colleges and universities across the country on their school and unit-level workload policies. Dr. Culpepper is co-author of a ACE report and set of resources on Equity-Minded Faculty Workloads (see https://www.acenet.edu/Documents/Equity-Minded-Faculty-Workloads.pdf).
