Abstract

The first two decades of this century have witnessed unprecedented global societal changes. Likewise, the higher education sector has undergone colossal changes, socially, technologically, economically, environmentally and politically. Concurrently, Whitchurch observed that a third space has developed where staff and activities occupy a boundary zone between the traditional binary divide of academic and professional services. A recent systematic literature review (SLR) revealed that the third space has increased over this time; however, the industrial relations structures that govern official staff structures and institutional reporting to governments (conspicuously in Australia) remain based on a binary divide that has outlived its usefulness. This paper analyses potential changes in work practices and interactions in the context of this SLR and the current Australian Universities Accord (a comprehensive review of Australia’s higher education system). Similarities with and implications for other higher education contexts are explored.
