Chairing the Foreign Language and Literature Department, Part 1
This special issue of the ADFL Bulletin is a manual and a reference collection for both new and experienced foreign language department chairs. The twenty essays provide chairs with, in the words of the foreword, "the tools they need to become effective leaders, savvy administrators, and persuasive advocates." Contributors discuss topics ranging from survival tips for new chairs and dealing with the dean to faculty development and encouraging minority participation in the field.
