​the role of online writing communities for female academics 

The project

Principal Investigator: Dr Kate Carruthers Thomas
Project Dates: March - September 2021

This project gathers and analyses data from participants of THIRDSPACE: a temporary online academic writing community for female academics hosted by the Society for Research in Higher Education (SRHE). The research investigates participants' motivations and experiences of THIRDSPACE and examines:
  • the challenges participants encounter in producing high-quality academic writing and the impact of the COVID pandemic/lockdowns, including in working contexts newly characterised by distance, fragmentation and increased workloads,
  • the potential for online writing communities to create links beyond institutional and national boundaries, share resources, challenges and successes,
  • specific outcomes of participation including changes to academic writing practices, sense of identity,
  • wider implications for academic career development and gender equality in the academy.
