This book recognizes, as its point of departure, that faculty are rarely prepared for the range of roles they need to play or the varied institutions in which they may work, let alone understand how to navigate institutional contex, align individual goals with institutional expectations.

Going beyond providing you with the tools, strategies, and approaches that you need to navigate the complexity of academic life, Don Haviland, Anna Ortiz, and Laura Henriques offer an empowering framework for taking ownership of, and becoming an active agent in shaping, your career. This book is infused by the authors' love for what they do, while also recognising the challenging nature of their work.
