Higher education has changed-and we have to change with it. The Freelance Academic will show you how. "Both a piercing examination of how higher education institutions exploit adjunct faculty and untenured staff and a roadmap that's as practical as it is hopeful." -Washington Post bestselling author Camille Pagán for BookTrib Magazine When Katie Pryal started her career in higher education, she did everything right-she thought. With a law degree, a doctorate, and a federal clerkship, how could her career go off track? But this is higher education in the new millennium. "Off track" is the new normal. So, slowly, she made her own career, one she dubbed The Freelance Academic. In The Freelance Academic, she tells her story and provides an accurate (and sometimes blistering) critique of how higher education has pushed its workforce to the margins. Best of all, she gives plain, practical advice for how to make the career you want, one that uses your strengths, and your creativity, to thrive. **Winner of the GOLD Foreword INDIES Book of the Year.** "With candor and vulnerability, Pryal shares her own experiences and hard-fought wisdom to make a compelling case for a rewarding professional life beyond the walls of traditional academia." -Amy Impellizzeri, award-winning novelist and author of Lawyer Interrupted: Successfully Transitioning from the Practice of Law-and Back Again
