In this enriching episode of "Yale College Voices," host Darice Corey engages in a deep and thoughtful conversation with Joel Silverman, the Director of Academic and Educational Affairs for Yale College and former dean of Morse College. As they traverse Joel's extensive and diverse experiences within the realm of education and administration, listeners are offered a profound insight into the complexities and the profound impacts of his roles.
Joel opens up about his personal journey, recounting his upbringing in a family where his father was a lawyer and his mother a social worker—a dynamic that profoundly influenced his approach to his roles at Yale College. His narrative continues with his transformative experiences such as moving to Morse with his wife and young son, revealing the profound personal and professional fulfillment derived from engaging closely with students and the broader academic community.
As the discussion unfolds, Joel and Darice delve into the nuanced emotional landscape of academic administration. Joel shares candid anecdotes about the pressures of always needing to be "on," balancing his professional responsibilities with his personal life, and the challenging yet rewarding nature of being a dean. He highlights moments that were particularly impactful, such as an instance when students expressed their gratitude, which underscored the meaningful connections fostered during his tenure.
Further enriching the conversation, Joel discusses the transition from his role as a dean to his current position, marked by an invitation from esteemed colleagues. This shift wasn't prompted by burnout, but rather by a thoughtful consideration of where he could best serve the community while maintaining a balanced life, emphasizing the importance of family and personal pursuits. 
Joel also touches on the broader implications of his role in shaping educational environments that are not only intellectually enriching but emotionally supportive. Darice and Joel explore how administrative processes can be streamlined to allow more time for meaningful engagement with students and colleagues, thus enhancing the educational experience and fostering a supportive community atmosphere.
Joel's story is not just a narrative of personal and professional achievements but also a testament to the power of empathy, support, and connection in educational leadership. This episode not only highlights the challenges faced by educators in high-stakes roles but also celebrates the profound impact they can have on students' lives and the broader educational landscape. It's a compelling reminder of the human element in education and the importance of nurturing it even in the most demanding settings.

Prof. Laura Doering, a distinguished researcher and educator from the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, shares insights from her research on "Was It Me or Was It Gender Discrimination? How Women Respond to Ambiguous Incidents at Work."

This study explores how professional women experience and respond to ambiguous incidents of potential gender discrimination. Findings reveal that such ambiguity leads to internal struggles and influences workplace actions, with women often adjusting their own behavior rather than addressing the issue openly.

Prof. Laura is an Associate Professor of Strategic Management and is cross-appointed in the Department of Sociology. As an economic sociologist, she examines how interactions and social psychological processes shape outcomes for households, organizations, and markets. Her research has been published in the American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Sociological Science, Sociology of Development, and Journal of Business Venturing. Professor Doering’s research and writing has appeared in The New York Times, BBC News, The Globe and Mail, Salon, and other outlets. Prof. Laura earned her MA and PhD in Sociology and Business Administration from the University of Chicago, an MA in International Social Development from the University of South Wales, and a BA in Psychological & Brain Sciences from Dartmouth College, where she received a top distinction award for her work.
