Women Leading in the Third space: Leveraging LinkedIn to Build Professional Identity

As Third Space educators, we work at the "interface between professional and academic activity" (Whitchurch, 2013, p. 55). Career progression in the Third Space is less defined and structured compared to traditional academic progression. This lack of structure and definition, paired with women being more likely to move into Third Space roles, contributes to women being underrepresented in senior leadership roles in university settings (Denney, 2021). Being in this less understood space may also result in feelings of isolation and disconnect, particularly with the rise of remote work. This adds to the difficulties of staying abreast of the complexity of higher education, continuous evolution of technologies (generative AI), and diverse student needs. These factors demand that practitioners continually update their expertise and career profiles.
