{"product_id":"9783031252402","title":"Careers of the Professoriate : Academic Pathways of the Linguists and Sociologists in Germany, France and the UK","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines career patterns of the professoriate. Professors may appear as specialised individualists in their fields, and yet they follow pathways which are anything but unique. Drawing from a unique data set, the authors analyse the trajectories of the almost 2000 linguists and sociologists who hold full professorships in Germany, France and the UK in 2015.  With a background in social theory, they reveal models, structures and rules that organise the professional lives and biographies of the most senior academics. This book presents the results of a systematic empirical study, which will be of interest to specialists in higher education studies as well as to linguists and sociologists, and to all academics more generally.\n\u003c\/p\u003e 1.
