The authors in this book explore the complex relationship between academics, the academy as an ideal, and universities as an enactment of that ideal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePersonal growth is evident and shows diversity of experience, as the maturing relationships with the role and workplace unfurl. Where tenure-track is a very personal journey, the period around tenure is necessarily a form of engagement with peers. Yet it has challenges, particularly in a milieu where academic freedom is being nurtured. Individual authors negotiate their choices between their personal objectives and institutional mandates and policies. Simultaneously, after years in the tenure-track, they continue to be evolving as academics, whether through personal growth or by seeking changes in the academy itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile the book is stand-alone, it was written by the same scholars who wrote about their tenure-track experiences in The Academic Gateway, making the pair of books a remarkable longitudinal collection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart of the \u003cb\u003eLives in the Canadian Academic Landscape\u003c\/b\u003e series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Ottawa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780776628905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Timothy Sibbald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435498401973,"sku":"9780776628905","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_31fda886-28d0-470c-b957-e14bde91b36d.jpg?v=1776226875","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/beyond-the-academic-gateway-looking-back-on-the-tenure-track-journey-9780776628905","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
