Hoellerbauer, May 14 <\/p>\n Friday, October 3, 2025, 1 PM – 3 PM ET This workshop will be facilitated by a faculty member from the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD).<\/p>\n As academics, we have been told time and again to write often and as much as we can, but no one teaches us how to keep track of the many different projects that we may be working on at any given time. As a result, we are pulled in multiple directions, and incremental progress made on multiple manuscripts can make it feel like our productivity \u2013 and our motivation \u2013 is at a standstill. By conceptualizing all of your writing projects as moving through a pipeline, you can make progress on a daily basis and keep everything flowing towards publication.<\/p>\n Thursday, November 6, 2025 Simon M. Hoellerbauer, Have you ever had reviewer 2 suggest a method or design that it is much too late to implement? Are you currently drafting a project and are unsure whether the methods you are seeking to use are suitable for testing your hypotheses? The goal of this workshop is to work in a community of your peers to evaluate our research designs at a stage when changes can still be made \u2014 before or at the start of data collection.<\/p>\n Friday, December 5, 2025 Free copies of her book available from Keysha Matthews (keysha.matthews@trincoll.edu<\/a>)<\/p>\n Jennifer Heemstra Drawing on her decades of experience\u2014including plenty of trial and error\u2014as well as research from psychology and business management, Heemstra nimbly guides listeners through the essentials of scientific leadership. From fostering an inclusive lab environment to setting effective goals and learning to give and receive feedback graciously, she uncovers the curriculum successful PIs must follow to motivate lab members, communicate key values, and inspire confidence.<\/p>\n Thursday, February 13, 2025 The importance of sharing academic research and expertise with the public has never been greater. By amplifying research, faculty inform the public and expand academic networks. Join us for this discussion of methods and strategies organized by Sarah Raskin\u00a0and featuring professors\u00a0Susan Masino,\u00a0Stefanie Chambers,\u00a0David Sterling Brown, and Elise Castillo, award-winning writer\u00a0Andrew J. Concatelli\u00a0and\u00a0Kristen Cole.<\/p>\n Friday March 7, 2025 What do you need to do to turn a book-length manuscript into a published book? What holds you back? How do you know when what you\u2019ve got is in its best possible shape? What should you be looking for in your work? What will a publisher be looking for in your work?\u00a0 The goal of this practical workshop is to focus on strengthening your own work in progress and to build confidence in your ability to get to your goal: being published and sharing your work with the world.<\/p>\n William Germano<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is professor of English and former dean of humanities and social sciences at Cooper Union in New York City. Before joining Cooper Union, he served as editor-in-chief at Columbia University Press and, as vice-president and editorial director at Routledge. He is the author of four books on writing and teaching:\u00a0Getting It Published, From Dissertation to Book, On Revision<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(all from Chicago UP) and, with Kit Nicholls,\u00a0Syllabu<\/em>s<\/strong>(Princeton UP).<\/p>\n Participants are requested to submit one month in advance of the session a proposal (not more than ten pages, please) for the work in progress. Each proposal will receive written feedback in advance of the workshop.<\/p>\n Thursday, March 27, 2025 This panel (followed by a two-hour interactive workshop the next day), led by applied anthropologist and Diamond Research Consulting founder\u00a0Dr. Sarah Diamond<\/strong>, will explore the use of mixed quantitative and qualitative methods in Community-Based\u00a0Participatory\u00a0Research and Action Research, using concrete examples from the field.\u00a0Trinity faculty at all levels of experience, from those new to this approach to seasoned CBPR\/PAR researchers, are welcome to attend. Our goal is to exchange best practices, recommendations, and resources for identifying partners, engaging community members, sharing power, facilitating dialogue and participation, and analyzing results.<\/p>\n Attendees to the interactive workshop are asked to complete a\u00a0two-page questionnaire <\/a>in advance to introduce their research goals and preferred methods, and to submit one or two questions that they would like to receive input on during the workshop. The questionnaire is due February 15, 2024. The workshop takes place Friday, March 28, 2025, from noon to 2:00 p.m. in Dangremond Family Commons.<\/p>\n Thursday, May 15, 2025 Tuesday, October 29, 2024 When working in higher education, historically rooted and culturally reinforced forms of discrimination perpetuate psychological distress for faculty, staff, and students. The human consequence of such stress and trauma can contribute to significant burnout as well as impaired learning and workforce challenges. The Counseling and Wellness Center and the Offices of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and the Dean of Faculty are collaborating to offer faculty and staff this workshop. Dr. Javeed Sukhera<\/strong> is the Chair of Psychiatry at the Institute of Living (IOL) and Chief of Psychiatry at Hartford Hospital, will outline several key aspects of a healing centered approach to working in higher education. A healing centered approach emphasizes the role of community, cultural authenticity, and self-knowledge to advance healing while foregrounding strength, resistance, and radical hope.<\/p>\n Dr. Sukhera is the Founding Director of the Center for Research on Racial Trauma and Community Healing. He is an internationally recognized health professions education researcher and thought leader. His research program explores novel approaches to addressing stigma and bias among health professionals and he has also been involved in advocacy and cross-sectoral work in education, policing, and community services.<\/p>\n Thursday, November 14, 2024 (new date and location) Please join us for an information session presented by\u00a0Amy Myerson<\/strong>,\u00a0Senior Director of the\u00a0Grants\u00a0Office at Trinity, and\u00a0Terri Williams<\/strong>,\u00a0Director of Faculty Grants and Sponsored Research. This event is designed for new faculty, faculty who have not submitted external grant\u00a0proposals at Trinity, and faculty who would like to sharpen their understanding of the\u00a0grants\u00a0process. This training is general and appropriate for faculty across all disciplines.<\/p>\n Amy and Terri will introduce the\u00a0Grants\u00a0Office team, its functions, and the internal process, as well as offer resources and tips (and\u00a0pitfalls to avoid) to increase your odds of success. Topics will include budget development, setting up detailed searches for grant opportunities to meet your needs,\u00a0and\u00a0grants-related information not covered in grad school. The\u00a0Grants\u00a0Office will be joined by faculty who have recently successfully received grants including\u00a0Dang Do, Laura Holt, Mike Puljung,<\/strong> and Rebecca Pappas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday, September 12, 2024 In this program intended for current and future chairs, Kevin Dettmar<\/strong>, W. M. Keck Professor of English, Co-Chair of Theater, and Director of the Humanities Studio at Pomona College and author of How to Chair a Department <\/em>(Hopkins Press) offers practical advice on hiring, mentoring, working with administrators, dealing with conflict, and more.<\/p>\n October 2024 (various dates) The Offices of the Dean of the Faculty, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Human Resources are collaborating to offer faculty and staff the opportunity to participate in The OpEd Project\u2019s core\u00a0\u201cWrite To Change The World\u201d<\/a> workshop, a discovery-based interrogation of authority and knowledge, that walks participants through a method for changing hearts and minds, connects them to a network of journalist mentors, and results in them publishing op-eds (if they wish). It also provides valuable tools for anyone seeking to build a case for something new (new book, new business, new policy, new idea, etc.). It is 100 percent virtual and typically takes place over two days. Those who complete the workshop will also receive one month of access to their weekly \u201cAsk a Journalist\u201d office hours and to their pool of journalist mentors for individual feedback on op-ed drafts.<\/p>\n
