Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graduate education in the United States and issues related to the survival of scholarship are addressed. Ways to balance undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies are considered, including issues related to research training and the undergraduate major. It is suggested that graduate schools coordinate their emphasis on general education with undergraduate colleges. Topics of discussion include: the dominance of the Ph.D. as the credential for college teachers; the effects of graduate education on undergraduate teaching; the shrinking of the collegiate student body and its implications for the need for scholars in the future; the role of general education in the preparation of scholars; the need for perspectives on foreign cultures in the scholar's training; distinctions between traditional graduate divisions and professional schools; tensions between colleges (within and separate from universities) and the graduate divisions of universities; moral and ethical concerns of those engaged in research; and the degree to which concern for equality of opportunity in education might change the quality of scholarship. Appendices provide brief narrative descriptions and statistical tables on trends in graduate education, including enrollments, the number of institutions offering graduate degrees, and sources of student support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting faculty roles in a changing landscape Ernest L. Boyer's landmark book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate challenged the publish-or-perish status quo that dominated the academic landscape for generations. His powerful and enduring argument for a new approach to faculty roles and rewards continues to play a significant part of the national conversation on scholarship in the academy. Though steeped in tradition, the role of faculty in the academic world has shifted significantly in recent decades. The rise of the non-tenure-track class of professors is well documented. If the historic rule of promotion and tenure is waning, what role can scholarship play in a fragmented, unbundled academy? Boyer offers a still much-needed approach. He calls for a broadened view of scholarship, audaciously refocusing its gaze from the tenure file and to a wider community. This expanded edition offers, in addition to the original text, a critical introduction that explores the impact of Boyer's views, a call to action for applying Boyer's message to the changing nature of faculty work, and a discussion guide to help readers start a new conversation about how Scholarship Reconsidered applies today.

Book excerpt: It is unusual for a single scholar practically to reorient an entire sub-field of study, but this is what Chris Stray has done for the history of UK classical scholarship. His remarkable combination of interests in the sociology of scholars and scholarship, in the history of the book and of publishing, and (especially) in the detailed intellectual contextualisation of classical scholarship as a form of classical reception has fundamentally changed the way the history of British classics and its study is viewed. A generation ago the history of classical scholarship still consisted largely of accounts of particular scholars and groups of scholars written by other scholars from a broadly biographical and ‘heroic individual’ perspective. In these works scholars often sought to find their own place in the great tradition, choosing to praise or blame those whose work they admired or deprecated, and to identify with particular schools or trends, and there were few attempts to provide a broader and less prosopographical perspective. Almost all the chapters in the volume originated as papers at a conference in honour of the honorand, and have been improved both by discussion there and by the rigorous peer-review process conducted by the two experienced editors. It covers various aspects of classical reception, with a particular focus on the history of scholars, their institutions, and their writings; the main focus is on the UK, but there are also substantial engagements with continental Europe and (especially) the USA; the period covered runs from the Renaissance to the present. The cast contains a number of world-famous names. Unusually, the volume also contains an essay by the honorand, but we are very keen to include this, especially as it focusses on the topic of scholarly collaboration.

Book excerpt: Senior Survival 101: Scholarship Edition The Senior Survival 101: Scholarship Edition is your step-by-step comprehensive scholarship planning guide to understand every step of the college scholarship application process. Obtaining scholarships to attend college can be stressful and difficult for most students. Only 1 in 8 college students receive scholarship awards to attend college. Traditionally, many students do not know where to start with the scholarship application process. Author Kyla Wilcher was one of those students once before, but in her process of looking and applying for scholarships she kept a binder full of information she learned through the course. Author Wilcher eventually used that same book to help other individuals receive scholarship awards over the years. She created this book in hopes that future students could have a step by step guide on how to write scholarship essays, resumes, find scholarships and so much more. This book ensures that each student is taught the valuable information needed to apply for scholarships. Not only will they know what they need to apply for scholarships, but they also will receive vital information regarding various other topics surrounding college and the scholarship process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The product of a lifetime of experience in American universities, The Scholar's Survival Manual offers advice for students, professors, and administrators on how to get work done, the path to becoming a professor, getting tenured, and making visible contributions to scholarship, as well as serving on promotion and tenure committees. Martin H. Krieger covers a broad cross section of the academic experience from a graduate student's first foray into the job market through retirement. Because advice is notoriously difficult to take and context matters a great deal, Krieger has allowed his ideas to percolate through dozens of discussions. Some of the advice is instrumental, matters of expediency; some demands our highest aspirations. Readers may open the book at any place and begin reading; for the more systematic there is a detailed table of contents. Krieger's tone is direct, an approach born of the knowledge that students and professors too often ignore suggestions that would have prevented them from becoming academic roadkill. This essential book will help readers sidestep a similar fate.
