Description

A practical, accessible handbook for chairing a department.

Over the course of a typical academic career, most faculty will serve at least one term as chair of a department. It's a leadership and service role that's at the very heart of faculty satisfaction and student success, yet few receive any training on how to do the job. How to Chair a Department is a practical, accessible handbook for new and prospective chairs, providing both principles and practices for effective departmental leadership. Based on his dozen years of chairing departments, Kevin Dettmar provides invaluable advice on:

- hiring tenure-track and visiting faculty

  • mentoring faculty colleagues at every stage of their careers
  • working with staff and other departmental administrators
  • managing department resources and budgets
  • meeting the needs of students
  • dealing with stress and conflict
  • connecting the department to the larger university or college as a whole
  • overseeing the department's curricula
  • maintaining a scholarly or creative profile
  • preparing for career moves after chairing a department

How to Chair a Department demystifies this important faculty position and argues that the role of chair, though sometimes seen as a burden, can prove to be a genuine opportunity for personal and professional growth.
