Purohit* BREAKING WOMEN: GENDER, RACE, AND THE NEW POLITICS OF IMPRISONMENT. By Jill McCorkel. New York City, N.Y.: NYU Press. 2013. INTRODUCTION Breaking Women: Gender, Race, and the New Politics of Imprisonment, by Jill A. McCorkel, associate professor of sociology and criminology at Villanova University, examines the role of habilitation—a set of confrontational social tech- nologies that induce the forcible “breakdown” of the “diseased” self of the addict— in the new penology that took shape during the “War on Drugs” in the mid-1990s.1 McCorkel argues habilitation is both gendered and racialized, and has contributed heavily to the contemporary American penal system’s function as a racial caste system.

  • (Reader) / Senior Assistant Professor (University Lecturer / Senior Lecturer) in Operations and Technology Management at Cambridge Judge Business School
    Associate Professor (Reader) / Senior Assistant Professor (University Lecturer / Senior Lecturer) in Operations and Technology Management at Cambridge Judge Business School The Operations and Technology Management (OTM) group of Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS) will be seeking to fill a position at the rank of Associate Professor (Reader) or Senior Assistant Professor (University Lecturer / Senior Lecturer), subject to final approval of the post by the University Committee. Cambridge Judge Business School is a highly ranked business school, located at the heart of an 800- year old University and within one of the most active entrepreneurship clusters in Europe. The OTM group at CJBS is collegial and ambitious, and has developed a reputation for management research that is rigorous, original and consequential, as evidenced by a strong publication record, high profile media coverage, and the strength of its PhD program. The group seeks to further increase its global visibility through research outputs, including publications in top management journals, as well as by placing its PhD graduates in academic positions in leading schools. The ideal candidates will have a record of impactful research, as evidenced by publications in top journals and a strong paper pipeline. They will also have excellent teaching experience on premium business school degree programs (MBA; Executive MBA) and preferably on Executive Education engagements. The OTM group at CJBS is very supportive of research with real-world impact and is particularly welcoming of candidates unafraid to tackle ‘grand challenge’ topics in organizations and society more widely. The members of the group are actively pursuing research topics that inform their executive teaching and, in turn, choose research priorities motivated by problems identified through executive teaching.

Think about who will be reading your resume. For academic jobs, you use a CV so that people in your field will appreciate the specifics of your research and your accomplishments within your field. If you’re applying for a nonacademic job where people doing the hiring will have a background similar to your own—say, a research institute, or a research position in industry—then your academic CV is probably fine to use. However, if you’re applying for positions for which a PhD isn’t necessarily required, or if you can’t count on your reader's familiarity with your research, then you’ll likely want to use a resume. For most non-research-oriented, non-academic jobs, you will want to use a resume. What is the difference between a CV and a resume? A resume is typically shorter, 1-2 pages at most, and will dedicate more space to your experience while focusing less on academic awards, conference presentations, and publications.

  • Chapter 4. Academic Responsibilities and Ranks
    Handbook of Academic Administration July 2015 Chapter 4. Academic Responsibilities and Ranks 4.1. Full-Time Appointments An appointment to the regular faculty of Brown University, unless otherwise stated, is considered a full-time appointment. Although there is normally not a set number of hours or days that a faculty member must be present on campus, except to meet teaching responsibilities, an appointment as a full-time faculty member at Brown carries primary professional responsibility to the University, to its educational mission, and to its students, whether or not the faculty member is on campus or is spending time away from the University. This includes during sabbatical leave or other types of leaves of absence, paid or unpaid. Full-time, regular faculty members are therefore not permitted to hold regular (tenured or tenure-track) positions elsewhere, except under special circumstances and only with the prior written permission of the Dean of the Faculty, the Dean of Medicine and Biological Sciences, or the Dean of Public Health (hereafter referred to in this chapter as the “appropriate Dean”). Full-time regular faculty members with tenure or in tenure track positions are considered twelve month employees of the University. A faculty member’s appointment is ordinarily for an academic year beginning July 1 and ending June 30 each year. Appointments of Lecturers and Senior Lecturers and other non-tenurable appointments shall also be considered twelve month appointments unless specifically exempted from this policy and/or as may be included in the appointment letter. Academic year salaries are normally for work performed over a period of 9, 10, or 12 months.

  • Handbook of Academic Titles
    Handbook of Academic Titles by Michael I. Shamos, Ph.D., J.D. Distinguished Career Professor School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Visiting Professor, The University of Hong Kong [email protected] There are over 3,300 accredited colleges and universities in the United States. These institutions have conferred on their academic faculties and staff a bewildering array of titles and designations. The titles can be confusing and their significance is often misunderstood. Some titles imply that the holder has tenure, while others do not. Some suggest a concentration in research rather than teaching, while others convey that the incumbent is primarily engaged in activities outside of an academic institution. In addition, a menagerie of prefixes and modifiers are used to indicate rank and other status information. Adding to the complexity of the problem is the fact that the same title may have different meanings at different institutions. The purpose of this handbook is to provide a thorough glossary explaining the significance of most titles in use in the United States today. Copyright © 2011 Michael I.
