“Third space as a way of working” - that’s what we argue for in our recent article and we discuss in the 3SS resources

I've been trying to think of useful things for libraries joining Bluesky, and I've come to the conclusion that sector-specific starter packs would come in handy.

First up: academic libraries. bsky.app/starter-pack...

Please please please give me examples I should add to this! 📚

Jenna Mittelmeier @jlmittelmeier.bsky.social · Nov 25

Has anyone worked with an academic book press that they didn't find overly exploitative? Bonus for open access, but at the very least charging a fair price for paperback.

I have a book idea in mind, but the biggest barrier for me is not wanting to see it published for £100...

Loved my first #LTHEchat last night, discussing #thirdspace in #highereducation

My recent co-authored article draws on research about technicians, WP and academic administration in the UK, to argue that thirdspace should be conceived as a way of working: journals.uclpress.co.uk/lre/article/...

In this article, we use the concept of the third space to explore how professional staff within UK universities experience boundaries. We focus on professional staff working in three areas of higher e...
