Doing Academic Careers Differently

Portraits of Academic Life
Herausgeber: Bristow, Alexandra; Robinson, Sarah; Ratle, Olivier

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Should academic careers always unfold in exactly the same way? Is there one best way of being an academic? This book says no. Assumptions about who academics are and what they should do are becoming increasingly narrow and focused on achieving so-called â excellenceâ in teaching and research above anything else.
