Looking forward to reading this- from a quick look at the table of contents, I expect it will be of interest to third space and pracademic colleagues
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. Explore this OA book from @PurduePress bit.ly/4cUBt8a #OA

"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.

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

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.

"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?
