My #cybersecurity students are front and center of RPI's social media today. Today is proud #professor day: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rensselaer-polytechnic-institute_our-cybersecurity-research-lab-the-rensselaer-activity-7133162229129961472-WN-7?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
It’s a Thanksgiving miracle. All papers in on time. No excuses, no penalization, no drama.
#professor #academia #academicmastodon
I'd like to leave academia (in the US). Why? Hope.
As in, I don't have much, anymore, career-wise. I started with all the hopes and dreams many early academics have--and I achieved a few of them--then my first university underwent a catastrophic top-down "reorganization" resulting in poor work-life quality, increased management power abuse, and lots of stress.
so I moved to a different school (also this was for family reasons). This one has been an extreme disappointment. Management policies and practices have meant that very few people can ever leave this job: there are few or no resources to keep scholarship alive while workload creep (and occasional top-down mandates to increase teaching loads) mean that serious scholarship is difficult or impossible without support.
I've been a strong advocate for faculty/shared governance, including being active with the (watered-down) union, university Senate (we don't even have a true faculty Senate), and negotiations teams. I'm pretty sure I've been targeted by administration for retaliation: two sabbatical applications in a row rejected at the top (glowing praise in all other review bodies) with no justification and a refusal to provide comments. I can't get on any policy-relevant committees--once one of the provostitos (assistant or assoc or something) laughed out loud in a Senate meeting when I volunteered for something. And basic stink-eye in hallways, etc.
I'm never going to get a sabbatical. Never going to become a full professor. Definitely never going to get a teaching award, no matter how innovative or effective my classes are. Innovation and effective teaching are effectively punished in a variety of ways, actually; the path to teaching awards is "shamelessly do whatever you can to maximize student evaluation numbers and avoid all student complaints."
I'll never achieve any serious scholarship goals. We had a fairly pathetic grants office (the one grant officer had no experience with grants and spent more time googling "how to..." than I did, the two times I spent my summers grinding away at NIH or NSF grants). The workload is simply unsustainable, and definitely incompatible with research. There is effectively no internal research funding, no travel funding, and a complex structure of culture and bureaucracy that makes ambitious research a deeply frustrating prospect.
In my second year (after writing a federal grant, getting two research projects going, mentoring 20 or so undergrad researchers, serving on various committees, and teaching a full load) I got a consulting gig with a local social services agency, as an evaluator for a federal implementation grant. I asked at two levels in the school about the possibility of getting a course release to do the work well and build the agency-university partnerships the agency had proposed (they would have been very cool). I was told no, we are a tEaChInG uNiVeRsItY so we don't get course releases.
Unless you're in the bio department. Or chemistry. Or music. Or dance. Or theater. Or English. Or chair of a committee the administration really likes. Or directing a program the administration asked you to create. Or about 30 other reasons. Needless to say, that consulting job ended without any meaningful impact on how the university served its students or community.
So I'm done. I have no hope. My lack of hope is, as far as I can tell, 100% rational. The institution, or at least my role in it, is in a systemic state that will fully prevent me from achieving my scholarship, teaching, service, shared-governance, or career goals.
After several months of surveying the job market for data science/researcher positions in industry and nonprofit spaces, I honestly think I'll be much happier there, so that's my current goal.
One thing will suck a lot: In the past 2 years I've stopped grinding away at teaching and research tasks over winter and summer breaks, and now I have more time with my daughter, as well as more personal time, especially in the summer. It will be unpleasant to work where I get "up to 20 days off a year!"
It will, however, be quite lovely to work in a place with the possibility of recognition of my work, and the chance to do work that could positively impact someone. In the process I hope to earn enough money that my kid will get tuition paid for in college.
Anyway, now I have some hope, again. It's not located in my current job or institution (despite the fact that I always get some excellent students, and student-collaborative research is always deeply satisfying). I have hope that I might accomplish a few things on my list if I go somewhere else.

If your online photo isn’t at least 25 years outdated, are you really a professor?
Had office hours with a student today about a paper due tomorrow. He was most concerned about a paragraph that might be confusing. It was the clearest and most honest thing he has written - from the heart as much from the brain.
And it had me wondering about how we teach writing that when students finally write truthfully and beautifully they can’t recognize it for what it is.

I think this is really cool. One of the fun things I get to do every semester is be the coach and sponsor of our #cybersecurity CTF teams here at #RPI. One of the major CTFs we compete in is the National Cyber League, which gets about 10,000 participants each semester.
This semester, we ranked FIRST in the nation out of the 521 colleges and universities that participated. Many of the best places to study cybersecurity in the world participate in the NCL, and it is my students who stand alone at the top.
This is obviously the students' success and not my own. Still feels good.

Dear fellow travelers in #academia I’ve - as we all have - been in some bullshit meetings in my time. But today was the running of the bullshit at Pamplona. An admin actually got up and gave a whole presentation on how assessment is “meaningful”. No one was buying what was on sale at all. At all.

“(…) college professors are like actors; they have their individual idiosyncrasies, their jealousies and personal superiorities. They do not think of themselves as a class; each one thinks of himself as something impossible to duplicate.”
Upton Sinclair, The goose-step – 1923, p 458.
Today was Honors Convocation at dear old #RPI. It's one of my favorite days of the academic year; we get to celebrate the best of the best of what are already the best students anywhere in the world. I always make it a point to be part of the faculty procession, so that I can be there to see all my students get honored.
And I get to brag even more about my students; we (ITWS) are a small program and we had 4 students receive RPI's top student honor today, which goes to less than 1% of all students. I already know ITWS students are the best of the best, but seeing us punch so far above our weight all day every day and seeing it pay off at events like this make it all worth it. So proud of my students.
Posted midterm grades last night.
There was much wailing, rendering of garments, and gnashing of teeth.
Let’s just say I’m the Federal Reserve of grade inflation.

This shift from Blackboard to Canvas is really stressful.
The platforms aren't really all that different. Some things have different names, or are located in different places. Some new concepts have to be mastered.
But it's impossible to migrate a whole course, so you have to learn how to migrate quizzes & other content, & then rebuild everything else from scratch.
They should give us a stipend for this crap.

I am an #ecologist mainly working with #insects, although I've published on #archaea, #bacteria, #fungi, #plants, and non-insect #animals.
Work in my lab and with collaborators ranges from #genomes to #organisms to landscapes and ecosystems.
I'm a #professor in the #Faculty of #Environment at the #University of #Northern #British #Columbia in beautiful Prince George, BC: https://www2.unbc.ca/people/huber-dr-dezene
I'm particularly concerned about #biodiversity and #climate change.

🎬 "Educating Rita" (1983) is a Pygmalion-ish comedy starring #MichaelCaine and #JulieWalters as a Lit. Professor who loves his drinks and a working-class hairdresser looking to improve her lot, Both won 1984 #BAFTA Awards for their performances.
A maybe-forgotten gem worth adding to your watch-list.

I've moved here from HOME.social. I should make a new #Introduction, but (sorry) I'm going to recycle the one I already had (♻️) I have been a #conservator-restorer for enough years to understand that everything needs care. Now I'm a #university #professor and I'm even more aware of the effort to keep things going so they don't fall apart. I am interested in many subjects but especially #CulturalHeritage in a very broad sense, and especially in the #Political sense. Happy to be in #Mastodon and to share some ideas. I am also a #SciFi reader and a #TeaDrinker

We have a new center to assist faculty with pedagogy, and the folks there keep urging us to “go where the students live”. And I’m really not trying to be an old curmudgeon about this, but isn’t the point of #college to expand the horizons of students? In other words, shouldn’t they come to where the professors live? I know that can be difficult at times, but isn’t that also the point?

This spoof pharmaceutical video from ASU encouraging kids to go to office hours is hilarious. I laughed out loud! (It may be funnier to people who have been professors than to others.)
I saw it in Lynne Murphy's newsletter.
Apparently I didn't win an #IgNobel #Prize again this year. I suppose I am going to actually have to #Publish something - But that's hard!

Hey Mastadonians, I'm happy to join the #Fediverse, and yes, I am a recent #TwitterMigrant
By way of #introduction, I'm a #college #professor with a focus on #communication, #games and #sustainability.
I am concerned about #democracy across the globe, #IndigenousRights and how we avert a #ClimateCatastrophe.
I think #GamebasedLearning might be a way to think creatively about sustainability.
I also love #Timetravel, #AudioBooks and #DoctorWho
From space weathering to lunar soils, Dr. Michelle Thompson is actively furthering our knowledge about the universe. She not only knows about meteors and meteorites, she teaches professionals how to handle and research these interstellar objects. We caught up with her to learn about what these “Shooting Stars” are and where they come from.
