| Summary: | "The proposed book offers an important resource to support an under supported population in higher education - female associate professors. Plagued with growing service expectations (Misra, Lundquist, Olmes, & Agiomavritis, 2011); misalignment between workload and reward systems (including vague and unclear criteria for advancement to full professorship); increased and varying responsibilities at work and home (August, & Waltman, 2004) and decreased (or nonexistent) supports post the achievement of tenure and promotion, leave women associate professors in an "isolating and overwhelming" career stage (Wilson, 2012, para 3). While the challenges facing women professors are real, and at times feel insurmountable, this book offers a counter-narrative to the mid-career faculty stage by instead viewing it as an opportunity to re-envision the next phase of one's career while working towards full professorship and other professional goals. Specifically, this book provides the needed scaffolding by way of research, practice, tools, and strategies to help women associate professors take control of their own professional (and personal) narrative as they seek to earn full professorship. Each chapter in this book includes relevant research and practice to provide the needed grounding followed by activities and strategies to support a multi-faceted and strategic approach to preparing for and earning full professorship - with female associate professors as the target audience"-- |
