The Academic Gateway: Understanding the Journey to Tenure
investigates the experiences of professors employed in tenure-track
positions who are starting their career within a university
environment, but have not yet attained the affirmation and
permanence that tenure offers. The role that they have taken on
entails the preparation of students within a professional school.
Some of them have very limited professional experience, while
others bring multiple years of experience with them in their
transition to a faculty of education. The contributors speak to the
three key components of their faculty role: teaching, service, and
research. Addressing organizational structures and differences
relative to prior roles, they examine how these changes have
assisted, confused or altered the way they conduct their day-to-day
work. They speak about relevant prior experiences, the preparation
they received through graduate school, and the details of the
learning curve as they entered into their tenure track role. Have
they been successful? The reader will experience the same
uncertainty and anticipation every professor goes through during
their journey to tenure. This approach amplifies the realism of not
knowing whether issues that are spoken about will ultimately be
overcome and enhances the validity of their experiences by not
biasing the contributions towards those who expect success.
