Description
Congratulations! You have won your preliminary heats--all those Modern Language Association convention interviews, on-campus visits, and instructorship experiences--and here you are in the blocks, awaiting the starting gun of your tenure-track race. You have asked about the tenure hurdles at your new college or university, and you understand that the requirements are the same for all faculty in language and literature fields at your institution. Sounds fair, so you feel confident that in the next few years you can clear a few well-placed articles, maybe a book (at certain institutions), good teaching ... But wait. Other obligations for faculty in small programs like yours in Italian have found their way into your contract--obligations like language coordinating or proposing a new curriculum or running a study abroad program ... Suddenly, your shoes are feeling mighty heavy, and you may be looking longingly at that fast inner lane that your new English literature colleague has staked out. But despair not. You do not have the pleasures of Composition and Rhetoric, nor should you assume that all the extra mentoring from the myriad faculty of a larger program necessarily represents a tailwind or a friendly boost over those tenure hurdles. You need only to keep in mind a few more strategies probably not mentioned in the tenure guidelines for your institution in order to survive your pre-tenure years in a small language program.
