If it is earned it provides security and permanence, creating further academic freedom to pursue research and interests important to the institution and to society. If it is not earned then the peer review process provides clarification for why it has not being earned. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeyond the Academic Gateway: Looking back on the Tenure-Track Journey brings together lived experiences of academics around the time of the tenure decision. The authors in this book explore the complex relationship between academics, the academy as an ideal, and universities as an enactment of that ideal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePersonal growth is evident and shows diversity of experience, as the maturing relationships with the role and workplace unfurl. Where tenure-track is a very personal journey, the period around tenure is necessarily a form of engagement with peers. Yet it has challenges, particularly in a milieu where academic freedom is being nurtured. Individual authors negotiate their choices between their personal objectives and institutional mandates and policies. Simultaneously, after years in the tenure-track, they continue to be evolving as academics, whether through personal growth or by seeking changes in the academy itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile the book is stand-alone, it was written by the same scholars who wrote about their tenure-track experiences in The Academic Gateway, making the pair of books a remarkable longitudinal collection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart of the \u003cb\u003eLives in the Canadian Academic Landscape\u003c\/b\u003e series.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCecile Badenhorst (Contributor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCecile Badenhorst \u003c\/b\u003eis Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education in the Adult\/Post-Secondary programs at Memorial University.
