Dr Charlotte Verney and Dr Joanne Caldwell each work in different areas of professional services, but both of them also engage in research and scholarship in HE management. In this episode, Charlotte and Joanne share more about their experience of balancing research and scholarship while working in a professional services role and consider the extent to which this type of portfolio of work is recognised and valued to the benefit of the sector. They also discuss their co-editorship of the Perspectives Journal, as well as the support networks available for current or aspiring professional services colleagues engaging in research.Resources mentioned in the episode:Journal: Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education | Journal | Taylor & Francis OnlineLinkedIn group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12963149/ Other: Higher Education Professional Services Research and ScholarshipThis episode is kindly sponsored by Tessa Harrison Executive Coaching.
