their theoretical and conceptual antecedents -- Self-
determination towards boundary crossing: Empirical cases
of university staff third space collaboration -- Case one
(Australia): A novel solution to a research problem: a
case study of "sprinting the marathon" from an idea to the
commercial entity -- Case two (Australia): "Building the
aircraft while flying it": a case study of teams defying
the boundaries and working together to deliver a new model
of generalist medical training -- Case three (Australia):
"If you build it, they will come": a case study of a
significant organisational change that emanated from a
technology solution -- Case four (Singapore): "An exciting
place to be": a case study of fast-paced, cross-cultural,
cross-campus collaboration for building a research culture
at Tropical University -- Case five (Singapore): "It was
only a very small project" but a huge step towards
reaffirming collaboration: a successful case study of
interaction and collaboration between colleagues from
different campuses -- Boundary crossing: Meaning making
and learning, and the universal needs of actors working
towards university collaborative capital --

framework of the university third space professional staff

optimisation -- Final words: University third space and
time continuum
520 Drawing on an empirical study of the cross-boundary, cross
-campus, and intercultural collaborations between
professional and academic staff, at both an Australian and
a Singaporean university, this book demonstrates the
potential of third space collaboration in higher
education. Through a multi-case study methodology, the
author draws on the antecedent resources of spatial theory
to investigate how staff working together, crossing, and
transcending various traditional and imaginary boundaries
created innovative boundary practices while successfully
completing the university projects. The third space
projects under investigation range from increasing the
academic research visibility and commercialisation of a
research solution to expanding the educational choices for
students in one geographical region and developing a
research culture in one international campus. The findings
present practical approaches to strengthening collegiality
and professional partnering, challenging the reader to
reflect on potential strategies that will apply to their
own work environments. This book will be a useful
resource for researchers in higher education, particularly
those interested in the third space theory and practice,
university collaboration, collaborative capital, and
impacts of diversification of university staff roles and
identities.--|cPublisher's description
