Women to Watch at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock: Amanda Nolen]]> Q. Tell me about yourself? My discipline is educational psychology. I have my doctorate and master鈥檚 degrees from Baylor University and a B.S. in psychology from the University of North Texas. I started my undergraduate college career as a vocal performance major and was accepted into North Texas State. I was in that program for about 15 minutes and realized this was not for me. I found myself in an intro psychology course with 315 students in a large auditorium. The professor, Dr. Elliot, came out on stage with wild hair, suspenders and a bowtie, and started speaking about the human condition. I just remember feeling in that moment that this was it, this was my home, and the rest was history. My mother is a singularly important role model in my life. She was a stay-at-home parent throughout my childhood. But in her youth, when she graduated high school, she and her older sister left home, drove to Kansas City, and enrolled in flight attendant school for Pan Am. She was a flight attendant in the 50s and 60s when it was quite glamorous and had amazing stories of traveling and seeing the world. She had this dream of what she wanted to do. She came from a working-class family with not a lot of resources. She decided she wanted to see the world, and she did it. She has been an inspiration for me for striking out, believing in yourself, and not being afraid to take your leap into the next adventure. I think she was a remarkable woman. Professionally, I got my doctorate in 2002. I didn鈥檛 go immediately into academia. I was hired as COO for Holmes Partnership. It was a large national educational reform network. I worked with deans from across the country to reimagine school reform. Our philosophy was that effective and lasting educational reform must start in the way we prepare teachers. Working with these amazing deans from across the country who were leaders in their own right, they modeled for me what it meant to be a leader in academia. I learned from them the kind of temperament you need, the ability to connect with people. I learned from them that it is important to identify your own principles and be willing to defend them as they guide you in your decision making. I count myself as incredibly fortunate to have that opportunity before I even started my academic career. Q. How did you arrive at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock? I came to 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock in 2005. I鈥檇 had my doctorate degree for a few years and had been working with Holmes Partnership for three years at this point. I鈥檓 an introvert and I鈥檝e always seen myself as an academic and not this public person. I felt like my time at Holmes Partnership was coming to an end, and I needed to do what I was trained to do, to be an educational psychologist. At the time, David Imig, the then president of the American Association of Teachers of College Education, pulled me aside at our national conference and suggested that I needed to take a look at 糖心Vlog传媒LR. In his view, Dean Angela Sewell was doing some innovative things in the preparation of educational professionals. Fortunately, they had a position that was right up my alley teaching ed psych courses. It was serendipitous that it all seemed to fit. Since coming here, I鈥檝e never questioned or even had a second guess about that decision. I love Little Rock. I love the diversity that it represents and the rich history. Q. What does 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock mean to you? For me, 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock exemplifies the important role of a metropolitan university in an urban setting. As a metropolitan university, we offer opportunities in social mobility to folks in central Arkansas who might not have access to other opportunities. I think there is something very important about that. It represents opportunities for a whole region of people who might not otherwise have an opportunity to pursue college education and economic advancement opportunities. The knowledge we create through our scholarship helps us solve problems in central Arkansas that better the lives of people living in this area. It represents all the ways universities are supposed to improve the communities in which they reside. 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock certainly represents that. Q. What is your current position at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock? What are your duties? First and foremost, I am a professor in the School of Education. In that role, I am an instructor, mentor, and a scholar. My other position is president of the University Assembly and Faculty Senate. My duties are organizing the senate, organizing the standing committees and the issues that come before the senate, and making sure that we are getting the business done and prioritizing the business that needs to get done first. As part of my role, I have to make sure that all the voices are represented through shared governance, which includes members of the assembly that might feel like they don鈥檛 have a seat at the table. Sometimes, they need to be heard from the most. It鈥檚 important for me to seek those voices out. The responsibilities of the president include being the care-taker and the face of shared governance, engaging the administration on issues that affect the faculty, and attempting to hold people accountable for decisions that affect the academic enterprise of the institution. Q. Why is the Faculty Senate important? Shared governance doesn鈥檛 take care of itself. It鈥檚 only protected when we engage it and when we participate in it. That鈥檚 the only way to protect shared governance. Faculty must engage through the Faculty Senate or other committees where we are engaging the campus. When faculty step away from these and say 鈥渟omeone else can do it,鈥 that weakens the infrastructure for shared governance. We are fortunate at this institution that there is a healthy respect for the role of the faculty in the decision making and in protecting our legislative authority over the curriculum, annual review, promotion and tenure, etc. The challenge for faculty is the workload and the strain of participating. The faculty body is shrinking, so the responsibility of shared governance is falling on fewer shoulders. We are going to have to be more creative about protecting it and participating in it. Q. How would you describe your leadership style? I am really good at reading a room. What I have learned is that in order to do this I have to listen and put my own biases and suppositions to the side and just listen to what people are saying. I鈥檓 a pragmatist. For me, that means being very solution focused, identifying what is the problem, who is affected by the problem, and how do we solve it in a way that is in the benefit and interest of the university, students, and faculty. If I had to characterize my leadership style, it would be pragmatism. Q. As a female leader, what has been the most significant barrier in your career? The barriers I鈥檝e experienced haven鈥檛 been related to me being a leader. They鈥檝e been related to me being a female academic in a system that is privileged toward men. That has been the source of any obstacle for me. When I entered academia, I was a single mom, so I had to spend time focusing on my child who needed me in a certain capacity in her life. She was 11 when we moved here. I also needed to devote myself as an assistant professor to achieve tenure. This can be difficult for women, especially mothers, on the tenure track. This has to do with the social norms that are pressed upon women in the workplace. I wouldn鈥檛 call it a barrier, because I鈥檝e navigated it, but it was an obstacle that I had to overcome. I was fortunate to figure it out, but I know there are many not as fortunate as I. In my role, I want to dismantle some of the systemic barriers that make it difficult for women, especially women of color to advance through the ranks. Q. What woman has inspired you the most and why? My mother influenced me in that she was clear minded in her approach to life. She wasn鈥檛 afraid to take that next adventure. The women deans I鈥檝e worked with, who on the surface had very different lives from my mother, also had this clear headedness and this willingness to push the envelope a little bit. Dr. Mary Brabek at NYU, Dr. Mary Futrell at GWU, and Dr. Karen Sullivan at USC are three that really stand out to me. They had clear, guiding principles that gave them the confidence to push things. As a collective, those women have really shaped who I am now, and I am constantly drawing upon the lessons they taught me in my quiet moments. Q. What advice would you give to the next generation of female leaders? I can only qualify this in academic leaders. My advice for women academic leaders is acknowledging that academia is not a meritocracy, but is currently a hegemonic system. You should figure out early what your principles are, to define your own success rather than let others define it for you, and to measure your success by those principles and criteria you identified. Also, you should try to exhibit some kindness, compassion, and empathy along the way. That鈥檚 important in an academic setting. Recognize early on that perfection is not attainable, so achieving what is good is okay. Finally, don鈥檛 be afraid to say 鈥測es鈥 to challenging opportunities. Looking back on my career, the most important turning points occurred when I accepted a task that I feared would push me beyond my limit, only to find out that 鈥渓imit鈥 was not real at all. Q. Name something about yourself that most people would be surprised to learn. It鈥檚 the introvert thing. It seems contradictory to my role as president of the University Assembly. I have to build in time in my day where I can be still and quiet and be myself. It鈥檚 very draining to me. I think any introvert will understand that being publicly engaged with people is draining. It doesn鈥檛 come naturally to me. It鈥檚 exhausting. People who know me well know the introverted side of me, but I think the typical person wouldn鈥檛 know that about me. Perhaps it鈥檚 not uncommon for people in academia, perhaps I am fitting the stereotype. I鈥檓 more comfortable in the pages of a book than I am in front of a crowd talking about the book. In my role, having clear principles serving as a compass, has allowed me to step out, to speak out on issues, to push back where I need to push back, and be vocal on important issues. Q. What鈥檚 one leadership lesson you鈥檝e learned in your career? It鈥檚 important to listen, to reach out, question everything, and to not be afraid of having uncomfortable conversations. I think, for me, I want to hear as many perspectives and counter arguments as I can. I don鈥檛 just want to hear from people who agree with me. That鈥檚 too easy and that鈥檚 usually how you get it wrong. It鈥檚 when you seek out other voices, other parties, and other perspectives that you can competently reaffirm your position or be willing to change your mind. Also, I think a leader should demonstrate humility. I鈥檓 up for reelection, and I haven鈥檛 quite made the decision if I am going to run again. Because of what I have endured the last two years, I know I am competent enough to do the job, but I鈥檓 not arrogant enough to think I鈥檓 the only person who can do this job. That gives me a lot of peace about it. I know there are really great faculty who can step into this role if and when I make that decision.]]> Chancellor Drale gifts $25,000 to 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock faculty professional development听 /news-archive/2019/09/25/chancellor-drale-atle-gift/ Wed, 25 Sep 2019 17:27:19 +0000 /news/?p=75277 ...

As the new chancellor, she wishes to encourage others by leading by example, and her generosity serves as an inspiration to us all.鈥 Faculty Senate President Amanda Nolen commended the endowment as a way to underscore the importance of faculty development in student success. “Professional development for faculty is an often underfunded afterthought across the academy,鈥 Nolen said. 鈥淚n spite of a small budget, ATLE has grown to play a central role in the vitality of this institution’s instructional force. This infusion of resources will add to the sustainability of ATLE as its leadership continues to develop the quality programming available to faculty across campus.”听 Three faculty members serve as ATLE co-directors: Michael DeAngelis, associate professor of Earth Sciences, Amar Kanekar, associate professor of health education and promotion, and Laura Barrio Vilar, associate professor of English. “Chancellor Drale has always been a strong advocate and supporter of the Academy of Teaching and Learning Excellence, and this generous gift is another clear example of her strong commitment to the professional development of faculty of 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock,鈥 DeAngelis said. 鈥淎TLE strives to provide 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock faculty with unique and innovative teaching and learning opportunities.
