Summary
I have completed a large study on school and district leadership, which is expanding into senior leadership teams at the JK-12 level. I am currently part of a research team exploring trust in higher education leadership, and also co-authored a book about the lived experiences of faculty in tenure-track. Work is underway on a second book on this subject, and this time the national study will focus on faculty experiences of crossing the gateway from tenure-track to tenured positions. The research has considerable importance in the field of higher education due to its longitudinal nature.
