The latest volume in the Routledge International Studies in
Higher Education Series, Academic and Professional Identities in
Higher Education: The Challenges of a Diversifying Workforce,
reviews the implications of new forms of academic and professional
identity, which have emerged largely as a result of a broadening
disciplinary base and increasing permeability between higher
education and external environments.
The volume addresses the challenges faced by those responsible
for the wellbeing of academic faculty and professional staff.
International perspectives examine current practice against a
background of rapidly changing policy contexts, focusing on the
critical 'people dimension' of enhancing academic and professional
activity, while also addressing national, socio-economic, and
community agendas. Consideration is given to mainstream academic
faculty and professional staff, researchers, library and
information professionals, people with an interest in teaching and
learning, and those involved in individual projects or
institutional development.
The following provide the key themes of Academic and
Professional Identities in Higher Education: The Challenges of a
Diversifying Workforce:
- The implications of diversifying academic and professional
identities for the functioning of higher education institutions and
sectors.
- The pace and nature of such change in different institutional
systems and environments.
- The challenges to institutional systems and structures from
emergent identities and possible tensions, and how these might be
addressed.
- The implications of blurring academic and professional
identities, with a shift towards mixed or 'blended' roles, for
individual careers and institutional development.
