In the times when I have given LGBTQ inclusionworkshops, I found I was particularly sensitive and not as easily generous to faculty whodiscounted the opinions of LGBTQ students or who microaggressed them in dialogue. I imaginemy perspective on which research questions to pursue will continue to evolve; currently I workon issues which matter deeply and intellectually to me, they relate to experiences and problems Ihave had, but they are not so extremely personal that I find myself paralyzed or despondent overthe findings.Cassandra’s reflection on the questions she asks

Therefore, in exploring leader social styles, we pose the following research question: Are some leadership styles better than others when initiating and promoting change initiatives?In academic settings, an important individual characteristic of team leaders is tenure status.Among the faculty in a university, those that have tenure track positions, but have yet to gaintenure, are under great pressure to be productive compared to their tenured peers (Miller, Taylor,& Bedeian, 2011).

Today, according to the accumulated evidence in Engineering Change, engineering education in the United States has changed dramatically. Engineering programs and faculty members have reengineered their curricula, teaching methods, professional development practices, program assessment and decision making, and, to some extent, their hiring, promotion, and tenure criteria. Perhaps most important, graduates in 2004 were measurably better prepared than their counterparts of a decade ago in all of the nine learning areas assessed.

. “Among college experiences, three experiences are significantly related tochange in engineering identity. Students with greater concern for a career where they can workfor social change, students who receive more mentoring and support from faculty, and studentswho experience more negative cross-racial interactions also indicate developing a stronger senseof engineering identity” [19, p. 22]. The notion that a stronger identity as an engineer is formed ifa woman is singled out in class or clubs repeatedly seems counterintuitive. However the studypoints to the fact that as a woman or URM students are singled out the uniqueness of theiridentity is reaffirmed, among those students who persisted.
