"There is so much to recommend in this book. The individual contributions, augmented by the editors' careful synthesis throughout, are a revelation. And its timing is prescient: it makes a critical and welcome contribution to our sector's thinking and theorising as we dare to look hopefully towards a post-pandemic 'better normal'."- Professor Sally Kift PFHEA FAAL ALTF, President Australian Learning and Teaching Fellows and Visiting Professorial Fellow, National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education, Curtin University, Australia

Klappentext

The Impact of the Integrated Practitioner in Higher Education highlights the importance of developing blended professionalism as a way of future-proofing Higher Education leadership, strategy, and outcomes. With carefully chosen international contributors, this book discusses the rationale for championing blended/integrated practitioners and uses a narrative case study approach to uncover the value, identities, and impact of these individuals who work across institutional boundaries, to promote interdisciplinarity as well as staff and student success. Divided into four key sections, this book explores: strategies, leadership, and theory; identities, boundaries, and ways of working; the impact of blended professionals/integrated practitioners; career trajectories and developing the integrated practitioner. The Impact of the Integrated Practitioner in Higher Education is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of higher education, including academic and professional staff, as well as postgraduate students in the field of Education.
