For many academics preparing to enter into the world of teaching
and scholarly work in higher education institutions, formal
graduate education provides discipline specific content. However,
there is a practical side of academic preparation that goes
unaddressed. The overall objective of Case Studies for the New
Professor: Surviving the Jungle of the Academy is to provide case
studies ("what if" scenarios) that augment the discipline specific
content of those preparing to become professors. The significance
of this volume lies in its usefulness as a "go to" book that
addresses situations, contexts, and examples of issues that new
professors or administrators in higher education face. The case
studies focus on issues that professors may face with students,
colleagues, administrators, and other constituencies with whom they
may have contact. This "case studies" approach is significant also
in that each one pays special attention to providing a complete
narrative to the extent that it is the eyes and ears for an outside
reader to understand what happened in that situation. Each case is
followed by reflective and analytical questions for readers to
begin shaping their own professional responses and reactions in
order to cultivate understanding and decision making skills which
will result in positive and productive experiences.
