I don’t usually gasp while reading how-to books for new professors. But then, I don’t often encounter revelations in them as jaw-dropping as Marybeth Gasman’s: “When I was a tenure-track faculty member,” she states in Candid Advice for New Faculty Members (2021), “I wrote in my office with the door closed on writing days. I did not answer knocks on the door. On non-writing days, I left my door open” (p. 27).
