Does some of your scholarly work have a JEDI focus? Are you worried that the work won’t “count” as much as the other aspects of your research when building your dossier for tenure? Although many institutions are including JEDI criteria for promotion, some places are still hesitant to value JEDI contributions.

The linked content on “Translating Equity-Minded Principles into Faculty Evaluation Reform” (O’Meara et al. 2022, American Council on Education) goes into detail on the “Measurement of Scholarly Impact” (page 8). They provide substantial literature on some of the current issues seen by JEDI researchers, and they suggest alternative ways of evaluating scholarship. In your research statement, you might consider using some of their alternative methods to highlight how your work has made an impact across a variety of settings.
