Abstract (may include machine translation)
McCulloch describes a scholarly publication trajectory over a six-year period from the final stages of doctoral study to becoming a senior lecturer. The chapter takes a literacy studies perspective on scholarly publishing and analyses the socio-political factors that influenced the author’s own path towards establishing a scholarly publication record in a British higher education context. Specifically, the chapter explores the role that language, geographical place and geopolitical forces including the competitive academic job market and the pressures of research evaluation systems can play in enabling or constraining early-career scholars’ publishing. The chapter concludes with a reflection on the practical and emotional costs of establishing a track record in an age of precarity.
