Summary:
Para-Academic is a name for those under- and precariously employed, but actively working, academics in today's society. Specialists in all manner of things, from the humanities to the social and biological sciences, the para-academic works alongside the traditional university, sometimes by necessity, sometimes by choice, usually a mixture of both.
