Life on the Tenure Track – Lessons from the First Year Annotated Edition

An interesting and accessible narrative.

–Mark Hulsether “Teaching Theology and Religion”

Faculty at all levels will recognize their own experiences somewhere in this short, perceptive, and ultimately entertaining account of academic life.

–Rebecca Manley “Academic Matters”

I would not be surprised if [Life on the Tenure Track] became one of the texts distributed by teaching and learning centers to new assistant professors at orientation workshops. It would serve them well.

–Patricia Donahue “College English”

Lang demonstrates that there are many largely universal survival struggles and self-doubts which are shared in common by most of us embarking on a new career in the academy.

–Alan E. Bayer “Journal of Higher Education”

Lang is a wonderfully engaging writer . . . he’s obviously deeply committed to the craft of teaching and the craft of writing.

–Dr. Erica Dreifus “Adjunct Advocate”

Offers a lively report on how it looks and feels to shoot the academic rapids today.

–Mary Taylor Huber “Change”

James M. Lang is an assistant professor at Assumption College.
