Safe Faculty Project

@WhoIs_Jayce Exactly! Who doesn’t want to feel welcomed???

i love seeing this in potential advisors! makes me feel welcome :)

@lrkhazem No debate on this one! 😂

Must get animated while discussing food

@Aditya_singh97 Glad to hear that your lab has green flags! 🥰

@SafeFacultyProj Green flag for our lab!!! 🥳

What are some of the #GreenFlags you look for in an #advisor?

@AlexMBateau Yes, our page serves primarily students and similar that have negative experiences with people in power within academia.

@SafeFacultyProj does your project mostly focus on graduate students? I haven’t been able to find any content on faculty who are experiencing harassment?

Submitting grad apps in a couple of weeks? Don't forget to submit and view positive and negative reports of applicants' potential advisors on our website!: sites.google.com/view/safefacul…

Check out this story that was shared with us

Great advice for additional details to consider documenting! Be sure to have time stamps and note who saw and was involved that may be able to speak on your behalf.

When you are experiencing abuse within academia, the best thing you can do to start protecting yourself is documentation! 1/8

@Kyle_Ireton @dejiatbiochem @ashleyruba Thanks for the recommendation! Yes, we are working on creating posts and providing lots of semi-regular resources and advice to identify abuse and protect students.

@JRandal76 @LaurVieEnRose It really depends on your program and the faculty members. I’ve seen many students transition labs and many others who leave the program altogether as well. The reasons you present for your reasons for switching labs don’t have to be your real reasons either. Protect yourself.

Have you ever felt this way?

Hey, everyone! The Safe Faculty Project website transitioned to a new URL: sites.google.com/view/safefacul…

@katestorrs @aifbw Yup! Our purpose to highlight how it is directly related to the mentor-mentee relationship, but it can other reasons, too. It's important to reflect on whether the feelings are advisor-specific, program-wide, or broader.

@aifbw @SafeFacultyProj Yes, I've felt all these but my lab environments have been fine. Can also be flags for depression / generalised anxiety / rejection sensitive dysphoria / etc.. (which is part of why it can be difficult to figure out whether it's "you or them" A good advisor will help either way!)
