Tenure track requirements include showing that you can work collaboratively with other researchers in advancing knowledge in your field. But, what is the extent of such collaboration and how does it impact your chances of achieving tenure? I'd appreciate your valuable feedback here?
Many thanks,
Debra
Dr. Debra:
Thank you so much for asking this important question!
I believe that the following link relating to this subject matter might be useful for formulating an answer to this question. In this way, Ellison et al (2008: 9) explore the theme of good principles why a national project should address tenure as a public matter, important to our culture:
1. Clear goals
2. Adequate preparation
3. Appropriate methods
4. Significant results
5. Effective presentation
6. Reflective critique

Would Mr. Javier Julian Enriquez cordially make further details concerning the scope of the conference available for the RG's colleagues? Thank you so much

Abstract:
“Public scholar” and “public artist” are not just academic identities. And academic institutions are not the only places in which publicly engaged intellectuals face challenges to their professional standing. Architecture, dance, public history, poetry, urban planning, journalism—all have their versions of this situation. There is much to be gained by tracking responses to publicly engaged professional practice in different domains. In this report, however, we concentrate on publicly engaged faculty and on how to change tenure and promotion policies for them.
We propose concrete ways to remove obstacles to academic work carried out for and/or with the public by giving such work full standing as scholarship, research, or artistic creation. While we recommend a number of ways to alter the wording and intent of tenure and promotion policies, changing the rules is not enough. Enlarging the conception of who counts as “peer” and what counts as “publication” is part of something bigger: the democratization of knowledge on and off campus.
