03/07/24 - Describing, Promoting, and Valuing Excellent Scholarship

In this webinar, six researchers from the College of Human Medicine’s non-tenure appointment systems will participate in a panel discussion for our college on “research excellence.” This panel, representing a range of fields and approaches, will share thinking about what makes scholarship of any kind “excellent,” and what kinds of evidence help us understand if scholarship is excellent across a diverse landscape of funding and dissemination possibilities. 

The panelists are: 

• Joan Ilardo, Associate Professor – Fixed Term 

• Karen Kelly-Blake, Associate Professor – Fixed Term 

• Heather Laird-Fick, Professor – Health Programs 

• Ade Olomu, Professor – Health Programs  

• Julie Phillips, Professor – Health Programs 

• Erica Wehrwein, Associate Professor – Fixed Term 

The panelists will share information about their various roles and the role of their scholarship in their current work. 

This information is important for any MSU-paid faculty member with assigned research/scholarship effort, especially those outside the tenure and research appointment systems, and for those who support or evaluate such people in working toward promotion. Community-based clinical/adjunct faculty interested in seeking promotion at MSU should also find it useful.
