Conclusion: Academic Careers between Competition and Conformation. 330 $aThis 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. Johannes Angermuller is Professor in the School of Languages and Applied Linguistics at the Open University, UK. Philippe Blanchard is Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick, UK. 606 $aApplied linguistics 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aKnowledge, Sociology of 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aCareer education 606 $aApplied Linguistics 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aSociology of Knowledge and Discourse 606 $aSociology of Education 606 $aCareer Skills 615 0$aApplied linguistics. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aKnowledge, Sociology of. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aCareer education. 615 14$aApplied Linguistics. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aSociology of Knowledge and Discourse. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aCareer Skills. 676 $a418 676 $a301.023 700 $aAngermuller$b Johannes$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01113404 702 $aBlanchard$b Philippe$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910686474703321 996 $aCareers of the Professoriate$93334641 997 $aUNINA
