✦ Synopsis

Readers interested in the study of academic careers can find a substantial array of research articles and essays in which the behaviors, beliefs, values, perceptions, and productivity of faculty are portrayed. The empirical work encompasses a range of approaches from the study of individuals in single institutions (Tierney, 1997) to national surveys (Blackburn and Lawrence, 1995;Fairweather, 1996;Gappa and Leslie, 1993).

This variety of approaches provides a rich literature but makes generalizing about academic careers very challenging. So in this chapter, I propose a way to frame our conversations about academic careers and illustrate how the framework may help us categorize the findings from different studies. I then suggest how modifications in graduate education and employment practices may affect different aspects of academic careers, giving particular attention to the use of part-time and adjunct faculty.
