The second part explores other important issues: effective teaching in the field; supporting critical thinking with GIS and mapping technologies; engaging learners in large classes; and promoting awareness of international perspectives and geographic issues.

Drawing on several years of research, this set of essays is designed to help graduate students and early career faculty start their futures in academia. Rather than viewing faculty work as a collection of unrelated tasks, Aspiring Academics stresses the interdependence of teaching, research, and service and the importance of achieving a healthy balance in professional and personal life. Each chapter provides accessible, forward-looking advice on topics that often cause the most stress in the first years of a college or university appointment.
