Academic Citizen

<p>With increasing focus on excellence in research and teaching the service role of the individual academic is often neglected. This book calls for greater recognition of this important aspect of academic life highlighting the importance of mentoring committee work and pastoral care in the daily running of universities. Drawing from extensive examples from models around the world <em>The Academic Citizen</em> points to the benefits of effective communication with colleagues in the faculty across the university and in corresponding faculties across the world as well as those in maintaining positive associations with the wider world. </p>
