Home/Faculty Evaluation/Toolkit for Conversations & Considerations about Faculty Evaluation/Surfacing Hidden Workloads

Surfacing Hidden Workloads

This section examines how hidden workloads impact faculty careers and provides recommendations for surfacing, acknowledging, and valuing invisible labor.

This section provides resources for surfacing, acknowledging, and valuing “hidden” or “invisible work,” or faculty work supporting institutional missions, goals, initiatives, shared governance, operations, and cultural life that is unrewarded, inequitably distributed, and/or in excess. This resource is divided into three sections: a lit review, a survey of ACS schools, and a collection of potential interventions.

Literature Review: Defining Hidden Workloads

This review of the scholarship on invisible academic labor offers a multifaceted picture of the various areas where such labor is occurring and reveals that the impact of hidden workloads depends on rank, administrative roles, and faculty identities.
