Dear colleagues,
the latest issue of the Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung (Journal
for Higher Education Development / ZFHE) was just published: issue 11/5
(September 2016) on "Development and Socialization of Academics", edited
by Mònica Feixas (Barcelona/Zürich), Gerlese Åkerlind (Canberra),
Georgeta Ion (Barcelona) & Ann Stes (Antwerp).
http://www.zfhe.at/index.php/zfhe/issue/view/52
The ZFHE publishes (at least) one English-speaking edition per year on a
topic of international interest, in order to disseminate research
results beyond our borders and to encourage discussion in an
international context. This special issue addresses the development and
socialization of academics at the early stages of their careers. Through
the contributed papers, the reader has the chance to reflect on a
multiplicity of aspects affecting entrance into the academic profession:
from strategies and methods for introducing academics to institutional
values and dynamics, training in the first phases of academic
development and agents involved in this process, to the obstacles and
challenges socialization implies. The wide variety of topics addressed
in this issue demonstrates that the academic profession is complex and
that socialization represents an important step in academics'
professional life.
In addition to the online version, the issue is available as a print
publication in bookstores (see
http://www.zfhe.at/index.php/zfhe/pages/view/print).
Further information and all articles of the ZFHE are available at
http://www.zfhe.at; we are also looking for contributions for one of our
next international issues (12/2) on "Structuring Doctoral Education" -
deadline is October 28th, 2016.
Best,
Michael Raunig
