Early Career Teachers in Higher Education cover

Explores the personal teaching journeys of early career academics who work in various disciplines within higher education across the world.

Early Career Teachers in Higher Education explores the experiences of Early Career Teachers (ECTs) through 13 personal teaching journeys from academics working across Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe and South America. This edited volume contains the subjective narrative of each contributor's entry into academia, their pedagogic practice and the development of their multiple teaching identities. Their personal narratives and testimonies presented here will provide a valuable resource for ECTs and academics around the world as they begin teaching in higher education. In addition, this edited book highlights contemporary issues, such as precarity, casualisation, fragmentation of academic responsibilities and intersectionality, that shape contemporary ECT workloads.

This book provides unique perspectives and essential advice from individuals who share critical experiences of entering higher education establishments. The book provides both important insights and ways of negotiating this critical period of professional development. * Richard Rose, Professor of Inclusive Education, University of Northampton, UK *
Far more than a mere collection of stories, this truly international book exposes the challenges and joys of teaching in higher education, from the perspective of those newest to the profession. Replete with inspirational examples of reflective and scholarly teaching, it is a must-read for all academic staff. * Kathryn Sutherland, Associate Professor in the Centre for Academic Development, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand *
This powerful book integrates scholarly analysis with the voices of early career teachers from a wide variety of roles and contexts. By honoring the diversity, precarity, and agency of early career teachers, this book offers significant lessons for both those becoming academic teachers and everyone who works with them. * Peter Felten, Professor of History and Executive Director of the Center for Engaged Learning, Elon University, USA *
