Betwixt and between: academic developers in the margins

摘要

Previously, the authors developed a theoretical framework drawing on an early sociological study of migration to explore how marginality - being between cultures - might account for academic developers’ ‘hybrid’ academic identities and help them navigate institutional power dynamics. Based on data from semi-structured interviews, this empirical study reports on the extent to which the model captures the structural tensions experienced by developers from multiple countries in their working lives.View full textDownload full textKeywordsacademic developers, academic identities, higher education, marginality, power dynamicsRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1360144X.2012.700895
