Earlier this year Claire set up a network for colleagues who are supporting dual professionals to move into or develop their

practice within HE. If anyone would like to join them, they can request to be added to their Jisc Mailing list

JISCMail - SUPPORTINGPROFESSIONALS List at WWW.JISCMAIL.AC.UK
The group contains lots of academic/educational developers, but also a number of dual professionals, and they're always interested to hear about their experiences. The Network is called Supporting Professionals in(to) HE  (SPiHE) The intention of the group is to share practice, look for opportunities for collaboration and scholarship, and generally raise the profile of practice-informed
learning and teaching.
If people are interested in exploring the issue of
nomenclature (as we did a little bit in our discussion), Dr. Mary Kitchener's work (starting with her blog post
What’s in a name? The rise of the practitioner academic and time to reconsider standardised induction support | BERA)
would be a good starting point. She has also contributed to a recent book (2023), edited by Jill Dickinson and Teri-Lisa Griffiths called Professional Development for Practitioners in Academia, so that would also be a good resource for people to explore. Finally, there is a good paper by Dr. Emma Gillaspy and colleagues that discusses both imposter phenomenon and also intersectionality of dual professionals called 'Hard Graft: Collaborative exploration of working-class stories in shaping female educator identities' -
that can be accessed
Hard Graft: Collaborative exploration of working class stories in shaping female educator identities | PRISM: Casting New Light on Learning, Theory and Practice (ljmu.ac.uk)
