Welcome to the Author in Residence blog, brought to you by HigherEdJobs.com. My name is Peter Weddle, and I have the privilege of being this year’s author-in-residence.
I'm the author of a book published in 2009 called Work Strong: Your Personal Career Fitness System. Over the next twelve months, we'll be using this blog and my book to explore the principles and practices of a healthy career … in the world of work at large and in the higher education profession in particular.
I'll hope you'll pick up a copy of the book (sorry, couldn’t help myself) and visit the blog regularly to contribute to our discussion. A copy of the syllabus indicating our monthly topics and the related pages in my book will be published shortly.
Regards,
Peter
Imagine a good, old-fashioned book club, combined with the academic staple of a scholar in residence. Now add the cutting-edge technology of a blog with regular blog postings and comments, and you’ve got the HigherEdJobs Author in Residence. Unlike any book club you may have joined, this one is led by the author and is focused on helping YOU in your career in academia. Follow the blog, and then post how the topic makes you reflect on your own career in higher ed. Grow, share, and have fun!
