When I say … Emotional labour
Rath & Aitken explore the meaning of emotional labour to shine light on the invisible workload emanting from hidden burdens of mentoring, pastoral care & professionalism (while addressing what institutions might do to address it)
Beyond Technology in Online Postgraduate Education
Participatory alignment
The expansionist nature of the higher education sector has led to an increase in the provision of online Masters programmes. Many of these programmes are offered part-time attracting working professionals. The dissertation component that can be the culmination of many of these degrees is largely unexplored. A constructivist grounded theory investigation of the relationship between online Masters dissertation students and their supervisors was und…
Heard, valued, supported? Doctors' wellbeing during transitions triggered by Covid‐19

These agendas are advanced through datafication, in which the transformation of social and material activity into digital data is producing a narrow, instrumental view of education.

How can inhabited institutionalism inform the analysis of medical education
Seamful learning and professional education
Workplaces are complex, dynamic spaces. While some practices are routine and highly predictable, informed by disciplinary and practical knowledge, others are unpredictable and emergent. Outcomes-based education, characterised by standardised, objective measurement of performance under controlled conditions, might be appropriate for routinised practice, but cannot account for emergent forms of professional knowledge. Somewhere between developing p…
Academic identity and crossing boundaries
Taught postgraduate programmes (PGT) exist in a competitive global market and those leading such programmes have to chart a way through complex and often conflicting demands. Twenty-two Programme Directors (PDs) from one research-intensive university in the UK were interviewed individually about their experiences of leading PGT programmes. Interview transcripts were thematically analysed using Braun and Clarke’s method and we consider results in …
