Faculty Writing Groups and COVID-19 Research Support

Principal Investigator: Merridee Bujaki, Professor

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two writing support initiatives at Carleton University meant to create productive writing periods that advance faculty publications. This study will look at how faculty members benefit from research support being offered, especially considering workload demands and other stressors exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this study aims to examine experiences of vulnerable faculty, including Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC), female, and pre-tenure faculty members. Findings of this study can offer recommendations for how the university can support vulnerable faculty groups.
