“Facebooking Your Way Out of Tenure” at Chronicle of Higher Education

by David Perlmutter Comment Closed
My essay "Facebooking Your Way Out of Tenure" appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education, July 3, 2009. [online]. It is part of my regular column, "P&T Confidential." The essay (first of two parts) looks at how the vast new world of online social networks--Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, blogs, Twitter, etc.--has affected many parts of our lives, including promotion and tenure for academics. In part one I deal with how Facebook can negatively influence the way people, including those who will decide on your tenure bid, think about you. In part two, next month, I will outline tenure-friendly Facebooking activities.   Originally posted July 3, 2009 at PolicyByBlog...

Perlmutter on “Job Searching on the Job”

by David Perlmutter Comment Closed
A new essay of mine was published: David D. Perlmutter. "Job Searching on the Job." Chronicle of Higher Education, October 23, 2009. [online]. It's mostly about the tactics of looking for a new job while already on the tenure track and asks: Whom should you tell about your job search, whom shouldn't you tell, how, and why?
