Academic and Professional Identities in Higher Education: The Challenges of a Diversifying Workforce: International Studies in Higher Education
Editat de Celia Whitchurch, George Gordonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 oct 2012
The volume addresses the challenges faced by those responsible for the wellbeing of academic faculty and professional staff. International perspectives examine current practice against a background of rapidly changing policy contexts, focusing on the critical ‘people dimension’ of enhancing academic and professional activity, while also addressing national, socio-economic, and community agendas. Consideration is given to mainstream academic faculty and professional staff, researchers, library and information professionals, people with an interest in teaching and learning, and those involved in individual projects or institutional development.
The following provide the key themes of Academic and Professional Identities in Higher Education: The Challenges of a Diversifying Workforce:
- The implications of diversifying academic and professional identities for the functioning of higher education institutions and sectors.
- The pace and nature of such change in different institutional systems and environments.
- The challenges to institutional systems and structures from emergent identities and possible tensions, and how these might be addressed.
- The implications of blurring academic and professional identities, with a shift towards mixed or ‘blended’ roles, for individual careers and institutional development.

Recenzii
Luanna Meyer, Victoria University College of Education, New Zealand (Areas of speciality Higher Education, Diversity, Multicultural Education
"A book that deals with international trends in higher education around changing identities for faculty that does address specifics such as expectations for research productivity (clearly directly relevant to changing performance and reward structures)—to name just one major development—and other issues could be a most welcome addition to the literature and a valuable text."
Peter Scott, University of Kingston
"The proposed editors have identified the main courses which are likely to use this book. It would fill a gap, in the sense that there are not many books which address the specifically HR aspects of HE administration / management."
"I would recommend this book for publication, this book would fill an important gap in the market. Some of the potential limitations I have identified in its planned coverage can also be regarded as strengths, in terms of a clear focus that will appeal to the aspirations of HE administrators in general (and HR professionals in particular?). I am confident that the editors will do a thoroughly professional job in the preparation of the book."
