Abstract
As universities expand and ‘traditional’ academic career opportunities contract, third space academics – who serve not only scholarship but institutional priorities – are emergent. According to McFarlane (2011), third space academics are neither exclusively teaching-focussed nor exclusively research-orientated, yet they participate in intellectual communities and bring an academic skill base to bear on the provision of university services.
