DRN Workshop for intersession productivity and balance

January 8, 2024 - Deborah J. Johnson

More than ever, faculty scholars require support and advice on balance and productivity in a “care” centered institution. On Dec. 14, 2023, the Diversity Research Network, or DRN, presented its first workshop on this topic. 

Assistant Professor Angela Hall led the virtual workshop on “How to Have a Productive, Balanced and Successful Winter Break.” This workshop was designed to address the concerns about ongoing productivity but doing so with self-care intentions and actions.

These issues are often heightened for faculty of color. Productivity is best had when rest and reduced stress are achieved. The workshop provided the science, good advice and practice in breakout sessions.
