Dealing with failure is one of the most common challenges scholars face in their academic careers. Failure might concern the publication process, one's career path, or the ability to disseminate knowledge to students and the broader society. In general, scholars encounter more failures than successes; yet, in public, we mainly talk about successes and often form narratives of negativity around failure. In this Professional Development Workshop (PDW), we aim to rebalance this discussion and to add nuance to the stories of success putting failure experiences 'front and center'. This PDW provides an opportunity to hear from a diverse and distinguished panel of scholars about their failures, ranging from dry spells in publishing, to not getting tenure, the acceptance of the 'wrong' job, and much more. Through these personal stories from our panelists and participants, we aim to (a) normalize failure and initiate an open and honest discussion about it, (b) illustrate how to ask for help if one needs it, and (c) offer ways to overcome or even embrace failure sometimes. Interactive roundtable discussions and dialogues follow the panel presentations. Panelists and panel organizers lead each roundtable. The roundtable sessions allow participants to suggest strategies to build resilience, share ideas and become more comfortable talking about failure in a safe environment.
