    The Tenure Process

    In our first episode, we speak with Dr. Dan Du, an assistant professor of history at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. Dr. Du discusses her experience going through the tenure process at a large public university. We discuss the specific tenure requirements at her institution (e.g. publishing a book, designing new courses), the challenges and uncertainties of the book publication process, strategies for balancing research, teaching, and service, and reflections on the job market experience.
