- identities, boundaries, and ways of working;
- the impact of blended professionals/integrated practitioners;

"There is so much to recommend in this book. The individual contributions, augmented by the editors’ careful synthesis throughout, are a revelation. And its timing is prescient: it makes a critical and welcome contribution to our sector’s thinking and theorising as we dare to look hopefully towards a post-pandemic ‘better normal’."- Professor Sally Kift PFHEA FAAL ALTF, President Australian Learning and Teaching Fellows and Visiting Professorial Fellow, National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education, Curtin University, Australia
