Product Description
Product Description
Building Your Academic Career encourages you to take a proactive approach to getting what you want out of academic work whilst being a good colleague. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such a career, the routes in and the various elements that shape current academic working lives. In the second half of the book we deal in considerable detail with how to write a really good CV (résumé) and how best to approach securing an academic job or promotion.
About the Author
I work at the nexus of sociology and cultural studies and my research interests comprise childhood and youth studies, particularly sexuality, gender and race in education and in popular culture, and the cultural politics of education. Overall, my focus is on the dominant and how it is held in place, though this often involves investigating the experiences of those in subordinated, marginalised and/or stigmatised groups. I am especially concerned with how children negotiate these ‘differences that make a difference’ and their agency in the context of institutional settings such as schools and families.

This is a great book if you want to know the inside story on how to get ahead in academia. There is great detail in it's discussion of many interesting acadmemic areas particularly in the building of an appropriate CV which I found invaluable. Everything from dress codes to entry routes are covered and as a newcomer to Higher Ed I feel it's benefits have paid off already.
