Here is one of the 1st collections to explore PhD career versatility within higher ed.
Each thoughtful essay explores what it means to remain in higher ed., yet not in the traditional role of a professor.

"Third space" professionals have unique skills that are critical for impact (e.g. citizen science, film-making, audio editing, community engagement) but unseen and unrewarded in the space between academics and professional services. New @HEPI_news report hepi.ac.uk/wp-content/upload…

This will be of interest to #ThirdSpace colleagues - it's high time HE role classifications has been reviewed and third space professionals recognised more and supported more.
Two podcast episodes with #ThirdSpace focus klaxon: First up, @aldinhe_LH LD Project Podcast - most recent episode featuring @NataliaVeles talking about third space in action - rb.gy/azu4v4 1/2
And second, @joannecaldwell and Jonathan Lord from Salford Business School talk 'non-academic - labelled by what you're not' on their school podcast, Knowledge Exchange - Deep-Dive rb.gy/dztcx7#ThirdSpace 2/2
For #ThirdSpace#EAP practitioners - check out @MichelleJoube18 's chapter ''Be more Pirate': Harnessing the Power of Liminal Spaces in Creating Academic Literacy Practitioner Identity and Agency' in this new volume rb.gy/fdu8cg
Have you read this report yet? Interesting case studies with examples of good practice, but not shying away from mentioning challenges. Reverse mentoring should really be a thing everywhere. #ThirdSpace
We’ve published some case studies highlighting the vital role of third space professionals in enhancing #HigherEd by integrating holistic support, employability skills and digital innovation. In this blog, @Charlesknight introduces ‘Beyond the Classroom’: social.advance-he.ac.uk/17ZB…
Some new reading fresh off the press! Whitchurch makes a strong argument for building social and professional capital to allow people to thrive in the third space. #ThirdSpace#HigherEducation#careers

Great arguments supporting teaching-focused (academic) HE careers. The third group here is #ThirdSpace professionals who teach, lead and research. This group is often on Professional Services contracts, invisible to HESA, with little to no progression routes.
🎖️ The RSE SIR WALTER SCOTT MEDAL has been awarded to Dr Iain Gordon Brown FSA FRSE for his contributions to the @natlibscot; a national institution that supports academic #research in vital ways.👏

#LoveLD - love Dr Emily McIntosh and Dr Diane Nutt talk about their valuable and important book, The Impact of the Integrated Practitioner in Higher Education: Studies in Third Space Professionalism: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/s….
"a constant white noise and static of demands that don’t seem connected to lecturers’ training or aims"- great post on the academic perspective. As this crisis inevitably deepens the PS/ac divide, how might TSPs, many also under threat, make their voices and identities heard?
