Over the past decades, two persisting priorities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) training have been: (1) increasing the knowledge of and access to careers beyond academic scientist; and (2) increasing the diversity of the STEM workforce. Previous studies show that a uniquely constructed career coaching group provides…

This review focuses on the nature, influence, and modifiability of academics' mindsets. Synthesising the large, growing, and influential body of adult growth and fixed mindset research with applied research into academia, it documents emerging evidence suggesting an academic's growth mindset can improve their personal performance, career success,…

Using storytelling as a framework, this study analyzes a faculty promotion book plating ritual through the lens of a twenty-year corpus of faculty-created and library-gathered data. The sources for this analysis are faculty reasons for book selection, or "book stories," which are part of an annual book plating ritual at the University of…

The early stages of an academic career are fraught with insecurity. By focusing on the individual and his or her background, this article sets out to analyse and develop theories for this insecurity.
