Third Space Professionals as Policy Actors

This paper conceptually examines the role of third space professionals as policy actors in higher education. While studies in Europe have emerged more recently on the constitution of third space professionals and their roles within higher education, few have examined how these professionals partake in the processes of policy making and implementation. This paper aims at filling this gap by exploring what role they occupy in higher education, how we should analyze their participation in policy making and implementation, and why it is relevant to do so.
