Research Ethics and Governance Manager, Lama Choufani
Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity, Kirsten Edepli
NYUAD Faculty members & their collaboratorsWhether your research is intra- or inter-disciplinary, collaborations are effective pathways to advancing faculty scholarship. In many disciplines, collaborating is essential for success of research projects, and many faculty benefit from collaborative teaching. Building successful collaborations with colleagues on our own campus and with those across the globe requires skills beyond scholarship, including understanding global cultural norms and those of institutions and disciplines. This virtual platform will overview effective intercultural communication, awareness of ethical considerations in international settings and academic-industry partnerships. Discussion of how to have challenging conversations when the collaboration takes an unexpected turn and navigating pandemic-related restrictions will be discussed by experts from research ethics and by faculty across disciplines who have experience in navigating collaborations. Drawing on real life case studies, we will share best practices in establishing and maintaining productive and ethical collaborations.

Have you ever been in a classroom, meeting, or other interaction where a comment directed at you or someone is experienced as a slight? Have you experienced what appears to be well-meaning comments related to your identity make you feel excluded? Microaggressions are subtle, discriminatory actions or comments that serve to marginalize and insult the target. While often unintentional, microaggressions are real and harmful experiences. This interactive session is aimed at understanding, interrupting, and developing the skills needed to respond to microaggressions using a variety of scenarios that may show up in the classroom. We will discuss how to address the psycho-emotional and academic well-being of yourself when such interactions are directed against you or your students.

NYUAD Faculty Mentoring Summit 2021
Tuesday, February 9, 2021 | 4:45-6:45pm in Abu Dhabi | 7:45-9:45am in New York | 8:45-10:45pm in Shanghai | Via Zoom
All NYUAD faculty are invited to the NYUAD Faculty Mentoring Summit on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, to enhance mentoring skills for both early career mentees and seasoned colleagues serving as mentors. Both those with strong mentoring relationships in place and those seeking to make these connections, will engage in hands-on work to take the next steps in their mentoring journey.
The summit will be led by: Karen Jackson-Weaver, Associate Vice President of Global Inclusive Faculty Engagement & Innovation Advancement at NYU
With a keynote address from Arlie Petters, NYUAD ProvostSponsored and organized by: The Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity
Overview and Goals:
Cultivating a culture where active and engaged mentoring is the norm creates an environment where all faculty are equipped to develop and advance their best ideas to the forefront of their research and teaching. As faculty, we are continually growing, learning new skills and exploring new areas in the classroom, our research and as leaders. Mentoring is a cornerstone for success in all of these areas of faculty work. Most importantly, for a diverse community like NYUAD, mentoring engages across the academic career trajectory for those who can feel sidelined by a traditional academic career.Engaging in an active mentoring relationship, helps the individual and the institution: mentees have a group of seasoned colleagues to provide guidance, mentors are enriched by passing on knowledge and perspectives gained along the course of their careers and gain valuable listening and coaching, and for the institution, the inclusivity of the community is broadened and research productivity is increased. It is exciting to imagine the output and outcomes for our individual faculty and for NYUAD as a whole if we optimized mentoring for our faculty.
This inaugural Faculty Mentoring Summit at NYUAD is designed for all faculty to engage and experience the benefits of a mentoring culture. We provide an interactive learning environment for all; from those who have not yet launched their mentoring network to seasoned faculty looking to enhance the benefits of mentoring for you and your mentees. Join us for this special gathering of faculty to learn from each other and from those who have a breadth of experience supporting effective mentoring.

Reach out to establish a connection with a colleague who is a part of your network of CAMS (coaches, advisors, mentors and sponsors).

Associate Professor of Practice of Art History, Salwa MikdadiFaculty members are asked to lead in the classroom, in their units at the university level and as active members of their discipline. These leadership roles require distinct skills as well as a vision for aligning leadership practices with personal and institutional values. However, many faculty find that the deep expertise they have gained through years of work in their discipline and as teachers is insufficient preparation for the leadership roles that they are expected to take on as their career advances as few among us have had training in the interpersonal and strategic skills needed to be effective, value based leaders. This session will provide a platform for faculty to explore the benefits that taking on leadership roles at NYUAD can bring, and will review fundamental skills needed for emerging leaders. Faculty who complete this session will emerge with an understanding of inclusive and effective leadership in higher education.

Virtual Workshop - December, 2020
Research Ethics and Governance Manager, Lama Choufani
Research Ethics and Governance Manager, Sikha Sreenivasan Pallithazath
NYUAD Faculty members & their collaboratorsWhether your research is intra- or inter-disciplinary, collaborations are effective pathways to advancing faculty scholarship. In many disciplines, collaborating is essential for advancing a project. However, the journey is often met with challenges, from institutional or disciplinary culture shock to navigating conditions of distancing both locally and internationally. Building successful collaborations with colleagues on our own campus and with those across the globe requires skills beyond scholarship. This virtual workshop will overview effective intercultural communication, awareness of ethical considerations in international settings and academic-industry partnerships, the ability to have challenging conversations when the collaboration takes an unexpected turn, and navigating pandemic-related public health concerns and restrictions. Through a variety of content, experts from the NYUAD Office of Research will facilitate discussions with faculty across disciplines who have experience in navigating collaborations, drawing on real life case studies, to share best practices in establishing and maintaining productive and ethical research collaborations. Material will all be prerecorded so faculty can listen and learn on their own schedule.
