Event Details

New cost drivers and associated labour market adaptations are impacting on the development of online teaching in higher education, encouraging schism in activities and status for teaching lecturers.

Through an exploration of sensemaking narratives, this seminar will report on the use of photo-elicitation techniques to understand identity work and emotional labour underway during a transition to a teaching life behind a digital curtain.
