Managing Your Academic Career

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This guide provides clear, easy-to-use strategies and tools for mid-career faculty to reflect, course correct and reengage in their careers. It also provides a framework for administrators and academic leaders to build much needed mid-career faculty development programs at their own institutions."
-Susan M. Drange, PhD., Associate Vice Provost, Office of Faculty Development, Diversity and Engagement, Stanford University

"Managing Your Academic Career is the definitive resource for mid-career faculty and administrators navigating the mid-career stage in pursuit of professional and personal fulfillment. Using a bricoleur approach, the book aptly addresses the individualized goals and aspirations of mid-career faculty and those tasked with supporting them, using case studies and reflective activities to create actionable plans."
-Candace Hastings, PhD, Director, Office of Faculty Development, Texas State University

"Vicki Baker brings scholarship and consultation expertise to examine midcareer faculty (MCF) - a season of academic life full of potential but without time boundaries and mentoring of pre-tenure. Real issues coupled with research grounding, reflective activities, and practical strategies make this a must read for MCF and academic leaders."
