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.
