description This work is part of the international research project, The Changing Academic Profession (CAP), which is studying the reconfiguration of the teaching profession in more than 20 countries. It explores the specific ways in which the process of academic work has been transformed in Mexico. The features of this professional activity, as centered in the academic world of the institutions of higher education at the beginning of the 1990’s?when compared with its present characteristics?throw light, pose questions and make conjectures about this significant change, as well as about lines of continuity that must be recognized and explained. The reconfiguration of the academic profession in Mexico has occurred in the context of a public-policy agenda concerning higher education and academic personnel. We approach this question for the purpose of locating its analysis in the context of a new regulatory framework of academic life. This new effort is part of the series of studies carried out in the country during the last twenty years, and gives evidence for the teaching profession’s reconfiguration in four dimensions: gender; teacher’s age on entering the profession; composition of the faculty according to academic level; level of scholarity of academics’ families of origin, and families today. It also explores the variations that have occurred during the fifteen years in which the new policies have been in operation in different types of institutions, since the academic world as a whole is made up of small and diverse subworlds. This article ends with a general reflection on these changes. Key words: Faculty, higher education, academic profession.

Este trabajo forma parte de la investigación internacional que estudia la reconfiguración de la profesión académica en más de 20 países, The changing academic profesión (CAP). Explora las formas específicas en las que este proceso de transformación del oficio académico ha ocurrido en México. La comparación entre los rasgos de esta actividad profesional –centrada en la academia en las instituciones de educación superior, al inicio de los años 90 del siglo XX y con las características que ahora presenta– arroja luz, preguntas y conjeturas ante un cambio notable, así como líneas de continuidad que es preciso reconocer y explicar. La reconfiguración de la profesión académica en México ha ocurrido en el contexto de una agenda de políticas públicas hacia la educación superior y el personal académico. Dicha cuestión se aborda para ubicar su análisis en el contexto de un nuevo marco de regulación de la vida académica. Se ubica este nuevo esfuerzo en la serie de trabajos de investigación que se han llevado a cabo en el país a lo largo de 20 años, y muestra evidencia de la reconfiguración de la profesión académica en cuatro dimensiones: género; edad de ingreso al trabajo; composición de la planta según grado académico; nivel de escolaridad de las familias de origen y las que los y las académicas hoy conforman. A su vez, explora las variaciones ocurridas en 15 años de operación de las nuevas políticas en distintos tipos de instituciones, dado que en todo el mundo la academia está conformada por pequeños y diversos submundos. El artículo culmina con una reflexión general sobre estos cambios.
