Abstract

This paper presents an auto-ethnographic exploration of three women's experiences of the journey to tenure. Individual stories and composite themes were generated through reflexive writing and focused conversations about our experiences as women navigating the challenges and rewards of the tenure and promotion process between 2003 and 2009. Results are discussed with reference to resiliency theory and future practice in our new roles as tenured and promoted faculty.
