The Peer Review of Dossiers workshop closes out the week of sessions on the teaching dossier. After participating in the various sessions about the dossier, participants will now have the opportunity to get feedback on their draft dossiers. The session includes a structured peer review activity, in which participants will swap their drafts with another participant. The session is a great starting place to receive a first round of feedback, especially for instructors readying their files for upcoming TRP processes.

“There’s something special about a woman who dominates in a man’s world. It takes a certain grace, strength, intelligence, fearlessness, and the nerve to never take no for an answer.” – Rihanna, Barbadian singer and businesswoman

Countless studies have highlighted the many expressions of gender inequality that women in academia face, such as systemic discrimination, precarious teaching contracts, gender wage gaps, negatively biased student evaluations, and underrepresentation in more senior roles (Johnstone & Momani, 2024). In this in-person session, join CLT and ��app’s very own Rachael Johnstone, editor of Glass Ceilings and Ivory Towers: Gender Inequality in the Canadian Academy to learn:

How gender inequality manifests in the daily academic lives of women in academia
Structural and systemic challenges women academics experience
How intersectionality influences gender inequality for woman academics (e.g., race, age)

This session will provide a safe space to share personal experiences if you wish. We will collectively explore approaches and brainstorm strategies (e.g., compassionate pedagogy, allyship, social media) that can be used to chip away at the structural and systemic factors that perpetuate gender inequality in academia.
