    About the Tenure Project

    The Tenure Project offers a supportive environment where junior faculty are welcomed and engaged in programs, events, and dialogues that address the important issues affecting Black, Latinx, and Native junior faculty obtaining tenure in US business schools. Building on the success of the first Tenure Project Conference, this conference will focus on "learning by doing." The conference workshops will aim to build community, spur new research and pedagogy, provide access and connection to resources, and create intentional spaces for connection and information sharing.

    Important Conference Details     

    The conference will be held Monday, July 24, 2023 through Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at The Wharton School in Philadelphia, PA.

    **Applications are required but please note that the Tenure Project Conference is free for all invited registrants. Lodging, meals, and a modest travel stipend will be provided to junior faculty conference attendees.
