This talk draws on an eight-year longitudinal qualitative research program in Canada and the UK and reports the career trajectories of 40 social scientists and scientist as they navigated their careers post-PhD.
Speaker:
Lynn McAlpine is Professor of Higher Education Development at the University of Oxford and Professor Emerita at McGill University. Her research with colleagues in Canada, the UK and continental Europe documents the experiences of doctoral students, postdocs, pre-tenure faculty and those
taking up professional careers post-PhD. She is particularly interested in how they develop their career trajectories and decide whether to remain in academia or not. She has received distinguished research awards from both the American Educational Research Association and the Canadian Society for Studies in Higher Education, and is a Fellow of the UK Society for
Research into Higher Education.
