The academy has undergone significant transformations in recent years, driven by a more competitive and volatile job market, which has resulted in widespread precarity for academics. Teaching and service loads have become increasingly burdensome, while higher education has increasingly become corporatized. In response to these challenges, this revised and expanded edition of The Academic's Handbook offers practical advice for academics at every career stage, from those entering the job market to those navigating the post-tenure challenges of leadership and administrative roles.
More than fifty contributors from a diverse range of disciplines and backgrounds contribute to this comprehensive guide. They affirm the exciting and fulfilling aspects of academic work while providing guidance on how to set and protect boundaries around one's energy and labor. The contributors also address critical topics such as debates regarding technology, social media, and free speech on campus, publishing and grant writing, attending to the diverse needs of students, staff, and faculty, and balancing work and personal responsibilities.
This volume is characterized by a passionate and compassionate tone, making it an essential guide for navigating life in the academy. It provides valuable insights and practical strategies for academics seeking to thrive in an ever-changing academic landscape. Whether you are a new graduate, an established researcher, or a seasoned administrator, The Academic's Handbook will be a valuable resource for you.
In conclusion, the transformations in the academy have presented both challenges and opportunities for academics. By embracing this revised and expanded edition of The Academic's Handbook, we can equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of the academic world and achieve success in our careers.
