Academic working lives - Lynne Gornall

Academic Working Lives examines
the ways in which lecturers and their roles have developed in the modern
academic workplace. The book offers insights into changing occupational
roles, institutions and the adaptations around flexible and mobile
working in everyday professional life. The editors have drawn together
an impressive range of research perspectives and themed topics that
cover the key aspects of academic professional identity and
relationships, as well as reflecting experiences of learning and
development at work in today's academy.The contributors explore
lecturers' everyday working experiences in the light of the impact of
policy changes, and the modes of academic leadership and management in
contemporary higher education. Contributions reflect situations and
contexts from across the UK and internationally, in taking account of
the changing workforce, evolving pedagogies and new technologies in the
working lives of today's educational professionals.
