The Late Career Consortium focuses on the career and life questions of late-career faculty (defined as PhD plus 15 years or more). The aim of the session is to help scholars in any discipline manage the new demands of this career stage and to take advantage of opportunities and career transitions that arise. The consortium will start with an opening presentation by an eminent career/life stage scholar and then distinguished panelists will offer insights about a wide variety of specific topics and address questions from attendees. It will include extensive Q&A and discussion among panelists and attendees.
Date and Time: Friday, Aug 5, 2:00PM-3:30PM. In-person only - HYR 504 Foss.
Moderators:
Roland Kidwell, Florida Atlantic U
Isabel Botero, U of Louisville
Presentation/Discussion Topics:
Late career renewal and sustainability as an academic; How research can inform career choices and activities as faculty transition into new career stages. Ariane Froidevaux, UT Arlington
Leveraging your knowledge, networks and the net for late career opportunities: Moving from traditional research/teaching/service duties to external engagement, administration, consulting, new lines of research, etc. Jerry Katz, Saint Louis U
Late career strategies: An international perspective: Broadening the conversation of late career stage activities beyond North America. Laura Costanzo, U of Southampton
Becoming an angel investor: Many late-career academics have amassed 401K retirement portfolios well above the $1M minimum required to be an "accredited investor." Plus, the analytical and managerial skills possessed by many management scholars transfer very well to the angel investment industry. Kelly Shaver
Having "the talk" with mid-career faculty. How to mentor/engage traditional teachers/researchers who are coming up to 15 years post PhD to spread their wings, take some risks, take advantage of opportunities in outreach, administration and elsewhere. Roland Kidwell, Florida Atlantic U
