Yesterday we had a faculty meeting in which we were asked to discuss how to support students who are introverts. Questions we discussed included: how to gauge whether they are engaged; how to provide them options for quiet work; how to allow to share ideas on discussion posts.

But what about introverted faculty?

This year after five years having the luxury of a quiet classroom where I can gather my thoughts for the day, a colleague is prepping for class. She does a wonderful job putting up the agenda for the day for her classes and setting out her materials. But now the music is playing and I am leaving in minute.

But where to go? The library? The faculty lounge? The department? The Residence?
