Ghosts in a Wilderness: Problems and Priorities of Faculty at Mid-Career and Mid-Life.
Karpiak, Irene E.
Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v26 n3 p49-78 1996
Reports a study of 20 Canadian associate professors, aged 41-59, which explored how faculty experience the mid-career and mid-life period in academic and community work, personal and family relationships, and sense of self. Identifies a variety of difficult issues for this population, but proposes that adult development theory suggests potential for greater integration of personality during this period. (Author/MSE)
