Abstract: | This paper builds on earlier work by the author to explore the international dimensions of a study of the changing roles and
identities of professional staff in higher education (Whitchurch 2008a, b). It further develops the concept of the blended professional, characterising individuals with identities drawn from both professional and academic domains, and examines the institutional
spaces, knowledges, relationships and legitimacies that they construct. Comparisons between the United Kingdom, Australia
and the United States are used to provide indicators of possible futures for this group of staff, including their positioning
in the university community, the challenges they face, and the potentials that they offer to their institutions. |
