ABSTRACT The political hierarchies and assumptions built around tenure and promotion processes across U.S. postsecondary institutions are fraught with complexities and have a significant effect on eventual outcomes. A tenure case’s success or failure could depend on many factors, possibly including circumstances out of a candidate’s control such as the institution’s geographical location, dominant cultures and systems in operation, ineffective mentorship, unclear policy, and, most relevant to this article, faculty members’ identities. Faculty who hold minority or underrepresented status in relation to race, ethnicity, gender expression, sexuality, social class, age, or ability can face marginalization, bias, and work responsibilities unrelated to professional goals and personal needs. In this article, I describe how tenure-track dance faculty perceive their experiences working toward tenure through analysis of 50 participant survey responses. The participants’ interpretations of how power, privilege, and identity affect(ed) their paths to tenure highlight problematic, sometimes discriminatory practices in academia and provide rich ground for cultivating improved mentorship practices and creating institutional and departmental policies that promote diversity, inclusion, and equity, while also supporting each individual’s strengths and goals. Further, the participants in this study offer useful strategies for understanding and/or establishing work–life balance, setting boundaries, and prioritizing tenure responsibilities.

身份、学术文化和关系交叉点:中学后舞蹈教育者追求终身教职的生活经历

摘要围绕美国高等教育机构的任期和晋升过程建立的政治等级和假设充满复杂性,并对最终结果产生重大影响。终身职位的成功或失败可能取决于许多因素,可能包括候选人无法控制的情况,例如机构的地理位置、运行中的主流文化和系统、无效的指导、不明确的政策,以及与本文最相关的教职员工' 身份。在种族、民族、性别表达、性取向、社会阶层、年龄或能力方面处于少数或代表性不足的教师可能面临与职业目标和个人需求无关的边缘化、偏见和工作责任。在本文中,我通过对 50 名参与者的调查回复进行分析,描述了终身制舞蹈教师如何看待他们为终身制工作的经历。参与者对权力、特权和身份如何影响(ed)他们的任期的解释突出了学术界有问题的、有时是歧视性的做法,并为培养改进的指导实践和制定促进多样性、包容性和包容性的机构和部门政策提供了丰富的基础。公平,同时也支持每个人的优势和目标。此外,本研究的参与者提供了有用的策略来理解和/或建立工作与生活的平衡、设定界限和优先考虑任期责任。参与者对权力、特权和身份如何影响(ed)他们的任期的解释突出了学术界有问题的、有时是歧视性的做法,并为培养改进的指导实践和制定促进多样性、包容性和包容性的机构和部门政策提供了丰富的基础。公平,同时也支持每个人的优势和目标。此外,本研究的参与者提供了有用的策略来理解和/或建立工作与生活的平衡、设定界限和优先考虑任期责任。参与者对权力、特权和身份如何影响(ed)他们的任期的解释突出了学术界有问题的、有时是歧视性的做法,并为培养改进的指导实践和制定促进多样性、包容性和包容性的机构和部门政策提供了丰富的基础。公平,同时也支持每个人的优势和目标。此外,本研究的参与者提供了有用的策略来理解和/或建立工作与生活的平衡、设定界限和优先考虑任期责任。有时在学术界存在歧视性做法,并为培养改进的指导实践和制定促进多样性、包容性和公平的机构和部门政策提供了丰富的基础,同时也支持每个人的优势和目标。此外,本研究的参与者提供了有用的策略来理解和/或建立工作与生活的平衡、设定界限和优先考虑任期责任。有时在学术界存在歧视性做法,并为培养改进的指导实践和制定促进多样性、包容性和公平的机构和部门政策提供了丰富的基础,同时也支持每个人的优势和目标。此外,本研究的参与者提供了有用的策略来理解和/或建立工作与生活的平衡、设定界限和优先考虑任期责任。
