Combining practical advice on how to get published in journals with theoretical essays on the research economy, this book is meant for all those who wonder about their chance of surviving in academia. Written by a tenured enfant terrible who never did anything the way you're supposed to, the book makes a statement about being a scholar in contemporary academia, surviving in the social sciences, and the odd joy of getting paid for thinking and writing. Through a series of essays, the book argues for reflection in academic life, and scholarship as a lifestyle. | The Scholar's Progress by Alf Rehn, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
