O knihe

This edited book offers concrete information and useful suggestions to graduate
students who are seeking employment at institutions of higher education in North
America and other parts of the world. This book also targets entry-level faculty
members who are exploring increased participation in professional activities.
The book features critical turning points in career trajectories, demystifies hidden
institutional structures, and illuminates blind spots that are critical for career
success.
The authors are scholars from nonnative-English-speaking and/or racially minority backgrounds in the fields of
applied linguistics and teaching English to speakers of other languages. The firsthand suggestions offered by
these authors are also applicable to non-minority professionals and those in other related disciplines.
Furthermore, the book assists faculty mentors and administrators to understand the unique challenges and issues
faced by minority professionals.
Distinctive features of the book are: (1) theme-based approach with
concrete examples and specific advice; (2) focus on victory narratives of
success and strategies rather than victim narratives of struggles; (3)
accessible style, and (4) wide range of experiences narrated by both novice
and established scholars. This guidebook can be read independently or
adopted as a resource book for graduate seminars.
