        Abstract
        The Academic Sabbatical: A Voyage of Discovery est un recueil de récits révélant l’importance des congés sabbatiques pour les membres du corps professoral et, par extension, pour l’enseignement supérieur. Au moyen des expériences et approches diversifiées que partagent ses collaborateurs, cet ouvrage fournit des arguments convaincants à l’effet que les congés sabbatiques universitaires augmentent la productivité sur les plans de la recherche et de la diffusion du savoir, devenues aujourd’hui l’essence même des études universitaires. Ces périodes méritées de travail individuel sont des occasions de ressourcement pour les chercheurs. Ce regain d’énergie donne lieu à l’amélioration du programme, à un dévouement renouvelé envers les étudiants diplômés et au partage accru du savoir intellectuel entre pairs. Bien qu’ils ne soient pas dépourvus de défis et de tensions, les congés sabbatiques aident les universitaires à construire des liens plus forts et durables, jetant ainsi des bases solides pour la croissance et les réalisations futures. Ce livre met en lumière la valeur des congés sabbatiques en tant que composante structurelle de la vie universitaire, mais se veut également un excellent complément à The Academic Gateway et Beyond the Academic Gateway, les deux publications précédentes de ce groupe d’auteurs qui explorent le parcours professionnel menant à la titularisation et à la permanence dans les établissements d’enseignement post-secondaire. ; The Academic Sabbatical: A Voyage of Discovery is a collection of narratives that reveals how important sabbaticals are to faculty and, by extension, to higher education. This in-depth look at the diverse experiences and perspectives provides a wealth of evidence that sabbaticals are instrumental in increasing productivity in terms of research and knowledge dissemination. These periods of self-directed and focused work enable scholars to restore their academic energies, leading to enhanced engagement with their programs, graduate students, and intellectual exchange among peers. Although not without challenges and tensions, sabbaticals help academics build stronger and deeper connections. While this book stands alone in promoting the richness and potential of the sabbatical as a structural feature of the academy, it is a great follow-up to The Academic Gateway and Beyond the Academic Gateway, which respectively discuss the tenure-track and tenure experience. This book is the third in the Lives in the Canadian Academic Landscape triptych.
