Four strategies faculty can use to approach another “unprecedented” school year: Opinion

In a recent article for Inside Higher Ed, Kevin Gannon (Queens University of Charlotte) offers four strategies that faculty can use to approach the upcoming school year. Gannon writes that while each new school year in recent times has been called “unprecedented,” using this term suggests that we view change as an aberration when, in reality, disruption may be the new norm. To navigate this ongoing disruption, Gannon encourages faculty to set boundaries to define their scope of practice, build solidarity with other like-minded colleagues, act with generosity towards themselves and others, and recognize and use the power they have.
