This message may be of interest to many of our current and recent PGC LTHE participants who have come to HE teaching from another profession:
“As part of my EdD research, I am inquiring into the experiences of academics from professional backgrounds as they negotiate their new career as an academic in higher education in the UK. Thank you to all in the SEDA community for responding to my first request for new academic from professional backgrounds. I am now seeking participants who:
- Have held a professional career (for example nursing, teaching, engineering, finance)
- Now employed in an academic lecturing role for more than 3 years
The research aims to increase the understanding into the period of transition between professional career and academic career to inform the educational development community.
If you would like to participate, please email outlining your current role and previous profession . 14091335@brookes.ac.uk
