The Unbundled Academic
- Date: 12 Jul 2011
- Start Time: 12:30 pm
- Location/venue: University of Strathclyde, UK
This seminar will present an analysis of these changes linked to the emergence of the ‘para-academic’: staff who specialise in one element of academic practice. This includes the ‘up-skilling’ of professional support staff and the ‘deskilling’ of academic faculty. The implications of this change for the quality of the student experience and the sustainablity of academic citizenship are considered.
