With a perpetually tight job market in the traditional academic fields, the road to an academic career for many aspiring scholars will often be a rocky and frustrating one. Where can they turn for good, frank answers to their questions? Here, three distinguished scholars--with more than 75 years of combined experience--talk openly about what's good and what's not so good about academia, as a place to work and a way of life.
Written as an informal conversation among colleagues, the book is packed with inside information--about finding a mentor, avoiding pitfalls when writing a dissertation, negotiating the job listings, and much more. The three authors' distinctive opinions and strategies offer the reader multiple perspectives on typical problems. With rare candor and insight, they talk about such tough issues as departmental politics, dual-career marriages, and sexual harassment. Rounding out the discussion are short essays that offer the "inside track" on financing graduate education, publishing the first book, and leaving academia for the corporate world.
This helpful guide is for anyone who has ever wondered what the fascinating and challenging world of academia might hold in store.

This book is the first edited volume devoted exclusively to career counseling with African Americans. African Americans are now at parity with the graduation rates of White Americans, yet disparities in employment continue to abound. At the same time the job market is changing and in need of more highly qualified workers, society must begin to understand the career and employment needs of Black Americans if it is to more effectively utilize this available market resource.
Recent data indicates that stronger economies have a competitive edge if they have a more diverse workforce. More effective career counseling must be provided for African Americans so that they can become more thoroughly integrated in the world of work, thus creating stronger economies for society and more satisfying and challenging lives for this segment of the United States. Career Counselors need to be trained to effectively interact with African Americans. This volume begins to shed more light on just how to do that.
This book presents nine significant topics focusing on career counseling for African Americans:
*basic issues and concepts;
*career assessment;
*career counseling with African Americans;
*career counseling with dual career African American couples;
*career transition issues;
*affirmative career counseling with African American women;
*career counseling in non-traditional career fields;
*the impact of the glass ceiling on the career development of African Americans; and
*future directions in career counseling theory, research, and practice with African Americans.

Duale Studiengange haben sich in Deutschland etabliert und sind weiterhin auf Expansionskurs. Keine 'Abi-Messe', auf der dieser Weg nicht an pointierter Stelle beworben wird. Die Moeglichkeit, zwei Abschlusse, einen beruflichen und einen akademischen, gleichzeitig zu erlangen, ist fur viele studienberechtigte Jugendliche sehr attraktiv. Der hohe Praxisbezug und die guten Karrierechancen sind die vorrangigen Motive fur Schulabganger, sich fur diese Studienform, die ein hohes Mass an Disziplin und Selbstorganisation von ihnen verlangt, zu entscheiden. Der steigenden Nachfrage steht zwischenzeitlich ein relativ breit gefachertes Angebot an den Hochschulen gegenuber. Vorrangig Fachhochschulen, aber auch einige Universitaten, haben die Zeichen der Zeit erkannt und oeffnen sich der Kooperation mit Betrieben, Kammern und Berufskollegs zur Implementation neuer dualer Studiengange.

Die Publikation beschaftigt sich mit den Lehrerbildungsstrukturen in England und Deutschland und deren Wandel unter bildungspolitischen Reforminitiativen. Trotz Parallelen in Reformdiskursen und -instrumenten, hinsichtlich der praktischen Fokussierungen und Wirkungen von Reforminitiativen existieren deutliche Differenzen. Die Beitrage deuten dabei darauf, dass die Durchsetzung bildungspolitischer Steuerungsmassnahmen bis in die Mikroebene von Lehrerausbildung und Lehrprofession letztlich scheinbar stringenter in den marktorientierten Strukturen Englands gelingt als in den stark staatlich-reglementierten Strukturen Deutschlands.

Governance in Initial Teacher Education: Perspectives on England and

Germany

This publication examines institutional structures in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in England and Germany and changes to these prompted by political reform. Although there are parallels in the discourses concerning reforms to ITE in both countries, the focus and the outcomes of the reforms differ. The contributions to the book indicate that the micro-level implementation of educational governance measures appears to be more stringent in the English market-oriented structure than in the strongly state-regulated structure of the German Federal State."
