  • Chapter
Book cover The Professoriate

Part of the book series: Higher Education Dynamics ((HEDY,volume 7))

This study was funded by grants from the Australian Research Council and Murdoch University. I thank them and the 253 respondents who were interviewed and gave me insights into their lives as academics. The research was a team effort that included Lesley Vidovich, Anthony Welch, and Harriett Pears in Australia; and Edward Berman in the United States. I want to thank Paul Snider for research and editorial assistance.
