Abstract
In this paper, we reflect upon the ways in which academic lives have, and continue to be,
stretched and blurred within and across temporal and spatial boundaries and the implications
this has for academic working practices and academic identity. The emergent themes discussed
are drawn from two longitudinal studies being conducted in the UK higher education sector.
The first involves an in-depth ethnographic study of location-independent working practices
(LIW), and the second a qualitative study exploring the experiences of part-time and full-time
doctoral students. Preliminary findings suggest this has lead academics to adopt working
practices aimed at ameliorating contradictory organisational, professional and temporal
demands in an attempt to reconcile conflicting priorities and multiple identities.
