Workshop

Serving on the FAUW Board of Directors or one of our committees is an opportunity for you to represent your colleagues and contribute to the collegial governance of the University. It is a great way to learn about the functioning of the University, and to build your service portfolio in a way that is both relevant to your performance review and personally interesting and rewarding.

We have a growing range of opportunities to get involved with FAUW, including our:

FAUW's Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee Chair, Lori Curtis, will host an in-person workshop on 'Applying for Tenure', for tenure track faculty who are, or soon will be, going through the tenure process. A presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. 

When: May 3, 2024 from 10:30-12:00

Where: MC 4042

Light refreshments will be served.

This workshop is designed for instructors who are curious about integrating climate justice into their courses. Climate justice seeks to understand and address the injustices and inequities that arise from climate change. Courses across disciplines can find connections to climate justice as it is an intersectional and transdisciplinary field. In this workshop, participants will engage in an experiential and reflective learning activity, adapted from Monocultures of the Mind, to explore reductionist and transdisciplinary thinking. Participants will also gain practical tools and resources to integrate climate justice into their courses with dedicated time to apply these tools to their own courses. 

We will spend 15 minutes outdoors, so please dress for the weather.

This workshop will help female-identified faculty navigate the process of applying for promotion to full professor. 

At Waterloo, the proportion of female faculty declines as we move up rank. We have too few female full professors, for a variety of reasons. This workshop will seek to demystify the process and offer support. 

This workshop will explore the unique opportunities and challenges of being an associate professor or continuing lecturer—and help you plan for the next steps in your career.

Join FAUW for an orientation to the University of Waterloo's location on Haudenosaunee, Anishnabeg and Attawandaron (Neutral) territory, what Indigenization is all about, and a discussion on our collective responsibilities towards reconciliation.
