With increasing focus on excellence in research and teaching,
the service role of the individual academic is often neglected.
This book calls for greater recognition of this important aspect of
academic life, highlighting the importance of mentoring, committee
work and pastoral care in the daily running of universities.
Drawing from extensive examples from models around the world, The
Academic Citizen points to the benefits of effective communication
with colleagues in the faculty, across the university and in
corresponding faculties across the world, as well as those in
maintaining positive associations with the wider world.
