2025 LERA Jr. Faculty Consortium Agenda

2:15 - 3:30, Navigating Academia: Seniors Scholars' Reflections and Advice for Junior Faculty Studying Work and Labor

What does the past, present, and future of work and employment research look like? This panel will feature several top scholars in labor and employment relations who will reflect on the state of the field and their experiences, provide career suggestions and advice about navigating academic life including tenure, networking, and publishing, and provide a vibrant forum for dialogue between leading scholars in the field and up and coming junior faculty about the direction of the field and how junior faculty can navigate and shape it. The panel promises to be insightful and informative for junior faculty making their way in labor and employment relations.

    • Sean E. Rogers, University of Rhode Island
    • Danielle van Jaarsveld, University of British Columbia
    • Ryan Lamare, London School of Economics
    • Thomas A. Kochan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    • Janice Fine, Rutgers University

3:30 - 5, Junior Faculty Research and Reconnecting: A Forum for Junior Faculty to Connect and Collaborate

Collaboration is essential in the workplace as well as in work and employment research. This panel will be an opportunity for junior faculty to introduce themselves, describe their research and interests, and connect and collaborate with others in the field. The panel will be participatory and offer a chance for junior faculty to get to know each other and "reconnect" at the first junior faculty symposium since 2021. The panel will help junior faculty expand and deepen their networks in labor and employment relations and shape the field for years to come.
