报告内容简介：
The 2007-08 Changing Academic Profession survey provides a wealth of data on the work activities and careers of academics in 19 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas (North and South). In making sense of the data and the story (or stories) that they tell about the “global” academic profession, it is important to understand that historically the very essence of the academic profession (Who they are? What they do and where they do it? What kinds of careers they pursue) has differed markedly across countries. It is critical to have a basic understanding of those differences as a means to “correctly” interpret similarities and differences in the data across countries. In this presentation, we identify at least three(four) models or prototypes of the academic profession – the Latin American model, the Continental European (French and German) model, the North American (US and Canadian) model , and various “hybrid” models. We explore how these differ in terms of institutional work setting (homogeneous vs heterogeneous), type of work activities (primarily teaching vs primarily research vs both), career anchors and mobility (shaped primarily by institution or discipline), demographic profile. We conclude by addressing the question: To what extent, and in what ways, is globalization muting (or accentuating) these historic differences?What do the CAP data, especially comparisons between the 1992 Carnegie survey and the 2007-08 CAP survey, tell us about the movement between nationalization and globalization?
