The view of academia that emerges is a holistic and integrated one, with teaching often adopted as the locus where pedagogy connects with research and outreach. While the case studies presented are rooted in theatre and performance, the emerging concerns are relevant to anyone engaged in higher education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book begins as a reflection on the author's own university career, revolving around 15 years of experience at the University of Malta and consistent engagement with research methodologies, reflective teaching, networking, internationalization and the duties associated with administration and senior management positions. Building on these reflections, the book supports academics in the initial stages of their career who might be seeking guidance to navigate, or perform, their roles in academia, as well as more seasoned academics looking to revitalize aspects of their work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Aquilina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350475750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350475755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Stefan Aquilina","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49148483666175,"sku":"9781350475755","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/performing-academia-stefan-aquilina-9781350475755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
