The Road to Tenure offers humorous recollections of the messiness
and confusion that fill the days of a pre-tenure academic-from
graduate school through the postdoc and into the assistant
professor days. The book's three sections roughly map onto the
chronology of academic life, beginning with graduate school and the
job search experience; followed by teaching, research, and service;
and finally the challenges of family and academic identity. The
book is not a how-to, nor does it emphasize "lessons learned" on
the way to tenure. Instead, the collection earnestly, and with good
humor, captures a significant and meaningful slice of the
experience of pursuing academia in contemporary colleges and
universities. For the doctoral student or newly hired faculty
member, these essays will provide some comfort with their implicit
suggestion that, while it's certainly hard work, you are not alone.
