Bridging two worlds: The journey of an academic in the world of development
It was not my plan, but development work followed my full-time university employment. My foray into the academic world began at the University of Chicago where I was an Assistant Professor. It was there that I learned the unspoken truth that success in academia hinges on a strong research record and publications in prestigious journals. Teaching, while important, often took a backseat to the pursuit of research grants and scholarly recognition. In fact, I was informed by my Department of Education chair that, “You don’t need to teach during your first year—just publish a few good journal articles.” This revelation was both disheartening and motivating, as it forced me to adapt and refine my approach to academic life.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the International Journal of Educational Development is to foster critical debate about the role that education plays in development. IJED seeks both to develop new theoretical insights into the education-development relationship and new understandings of the extent and nature of educational change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of understanding the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and development. Orthodox notions of development as being about growth, industrialisation or poverty reduction are increasingly questioned. There are competing accounts that stress the human dimensions of development.
