		Learning the Rules of the Game: Race, Gender, and Academic Success Schmidt, Susannah A., Harris, Brandy D. 2003. View Abstract Conference paper. ?Our study examines the strategies & practices that assist junior faculty in the promotion & tenure process. Specifically, we address faculty members' views regarding what it takes to succeed in academia, & whether these views vary by rank, gender, & race. Our data come from 40 in-depth interviews with assistant, associate, & full professors all of whom work in universities in the Southeast. Our findings address the dilemmas of mentoring, how race & gender affect relations between junior & senior faculty, particularly effective strategies &/or policies for helping junior faculty succeed, & the meaning of being a faculty member to junior & senior faculty. Our conclusions point to actions a university/college can take to help junior faculty 'succeed' at achieving tenure & promotion at their institutions.?--Sociological Abstracts abstract Subjects: Faculty, Gender (comparison), Promotion, Race/ethnicity, Tenure attainment
