| Abstract
|
:
|
"Just landed your first faculty position? Close to getting your PhD, and planning a career in academe? Already in your first job? This insightful guide will help you achieve success." "What is academic life like? How do you discover its tacit rules? Develop the habits and networks needed for success? What issues will you encounter if you're a person of color, or a woman? How is higher education changing?" "In 199 succinct, and often humorous but seriously practical hints, Gray and Drew share their combined experience of many years as faculty and (recovering) administrators to offer insider advicethe kind that's rarely taught or even talked about in graduate school." "For easy reference as you climb the academic ladder, the hints are divided into 15 short chapters and 4 appendixes covering the stages and responsibilities of faculty life." "These hints will help you both make a valuable contribution to, and get the most from, academe."--Jacket.
