Study of Faculty Worklife at UW–Madison

PI: Jennifer Sheridan

Study Description

WISELI developed an extensive climate survey instrument based on the interview data from women faculty and staff in the STEM disciplines. The surveys have been funded by the National Science Foundation ADVANCE program, the Office of the Provost, the College of Letters and Science, the College of Engineering, and most recently, the National Institutes for Health and the School of Medicine and Public Health. The sample includes UW-Madison faculty in all divisions, and clinical/CHS faculty in the School of Veterinary Medicine. In 2010 and 2012, clinical/CHS faculty throughout UW-Madison were included. The first wave of data collection occurred in 2003, the second wave in 2006, the third wave in 2010, and the fourth wave in 2012.

The survey data have been instrumental to WISELI's efforts to transform the institution. A number of reports, presentations, and publications have resulted from the survey data, and more will come as the climate survey data have become an important campus resource on faculty and staff attitudes on satisfaction, climate, and more.
