Dr. Jill Dolan happily smiling outside for her portrait.

Jill Dolan served as the Dean of the College at Princeton University, where she is the Annan Professor in English and Theater.  The author of many books and articles, Dolan received the Distinguished Scholar Award for Outstanding Career Achievement in Scholarship from the American Society for Theatre Research, the Outstanding Teacher Award from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, and the George Jean Nathan Award for dramatic criticism for her blog, The Feminist Spectator.

A seminar that considers how to lead from a feminist, egalitarian perspective while still accepting the authority and necessary power that comes with being an administrator. The seminar will consider how to build teams; how to support staff; how to “message” administrative values with clarity and care to multiple audiences; and how to maintain your own vision while enacting an institutional mission. Our work will be discussion-based; bring questions, ideas, concerns.
