Lecture: KerryAnn O'Meara

"Undoing Disparities in Faculty Workloads," Dr. KerryAnn O’Meara, professor of higher education and associate dean, University of Maryland.

Many faculty and academic leaders experience the inequitable allocation and rewards of teaching, mentoring, and service work in the academic workplace. O’Meara, PI of the NSF-funded Faculty Workload and Rewards Project, will share the latest social science research on implicit biases as they relate to division of labor and evidence-based practices for mitigating workload inequities. Her work has garnered interest from universities nationwide and has led to numerous publications, including articles in PLoS ONE and the Journal of Higher Education.
