Are you a woman of color in academia searching for strategies to help you thrive? What is some practical advice on handling department politics without jeopardizing your career? Look no further!
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Katherine Lee, a Higher-Ed Coach, Career Strategist, and founder of Rise With Clarity. We talk about her journey from being a tenured professor to now coaching women of color faculty members to. We discuss the unique challenges folks from marginalized communities face in academic spaces. Katherine also shares the supportive community she's co-created called the Compassionate Cohort, which focuses on the needs of faculty members who are leaving the academy.
