Hi everybody,
This year I’ve launched an IRB-approved study about academic department chairperson decision-making strategies. As a department chair myself, I wish to learn ways to make my decision-making practices better—more deliberative, transparent, and equitable.
This semester, I’m conducting one-on-one interviews virtually via MS Teams with as many current and former department chairs as possible to discover how chairs decision-make. I’m interviewing chairs from across the country and from a variety of disciplines.
If you are (or were) a chair, I’d like to have you participate. Please also feel free to forward this email along to the department chairs in your life.
Here is a link to more information about my study.
If you are interested, here is a link to schedule an interview time:

Thank you for considering!
