WHAT WE OFFER
How do you respond when institutional power, professional risk, and your values collide?
The Strategic Response Profile is an interactive digital companion tool to In the Academy, But Not at the Table: Voices of Marginalized Faculty on the Tenure Track. Work through 12 realistic higher-education scenarios involving tenure expectations, identity-coded evaluations, authorship and intellectual credit, disproportionate service, exclusion from informal decision-making, accommodations, discriminatory remarks, retaliation, political pressure, and procedural irregularities.
Your responses help identify the strategic repertoire you are most likely to use first:
Guardian — Observe, Document, Conserve, Consult
Boundary Setter — Clarify, Refuse, Invoke, Escalate
Coalition Builder — Map, Connect, Corroborate, Coordinate
Transformative Advocate — Name, Challenge, Propose, Transform
Rather than telling you the “correct” response, the profile invites you to examine how context, institutional power, professional vulnerability, values, and risk shape the moves available to you.
