Trayectorias docentes e investigadoras en la universidad

This text is part of a research project “The effects of social change at work and professional life of academics”, partly funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (SEJ2006-01876), in which we explored change in legislation, institutional organization, research, management and education in the last thirty years.

The main objective of the study was to deepen our understanding of the impact of economic, social, cultural, technologicaland labour change undergoing in Spanish universities in the professional life and identity of teachers and researchers, taking into account the national and European contexts.

This publication contains the 24 professional life histories developed about or with many other university teachers. Their analysed and contextualized narrativesare a significant contribution to research-based knowledge on professional knowledge and experience in Spanishuniversities, and therefore for our understanding of how scholars are facing and coping with current change.
