This roundtable hopes to bring together faculty and administrators with a vision to invigorate humanities programs. Its goal is twofold: (1) to provide a platform for sharing innovative strategies to enhance collaboration across traditional academic units; and (2) to critically discuss efforts that have led to new successes in (re)generating full-time faculty satisfaction in teaching, research, and service. Such efforts may include valued practices in co-teaching, faculty residency programs, Interdisciplinary Studies programs, joint appointments, and visiting professorships. We may consider approaches to discipline-specific departments, faculty workload, internal and external resources, and strengthening organic partnerships, all of which suggest opportunity and challenge. Mindful of our academic mission to create critical thinkers prepared for personal and professionally enriched lives, we may also share creative initiatives to give credit for and promote students’ applications of learning into our faculty teaching and research agenda.
