If there is a case for regrading to lecturer grades (and there probably
is ) it may well be a good idea to talk (as a group) to the local Natfhe
branch officers.

Hello,
I hate to bring this conversation down to the level of money but can
anyone advise on how I can financially capitalise on my hybrid nature? I
have all the ususal higher degrees, teaching quals and produce resources
for academics to use on a regular basis....some of you have used them
yourselves outside of my institution. Further, I've just been awarded a
learning & teaching fellowship which appears to reflect my excellent
work blah blah blah. However, I simply cannot afford to keep this going
much longer as a single parent on a support staff salary. I tried for
regrading of job last year using a colleague with a similar job
description for equity. This resulted in the colleague having their job
down-graded! Sorry to moan on a Monday morning but if any of these
people researching into this disparity want to use me, feel free.
Alison

Hi everybody,
I was interested to read in your e-mail, David, about the questions
raised in the area of HR professionalism.
I have a background in Information Management and many of the
same questions arise in that profession, particularly as the very fast
growth of electronic information has meant that the profession has
emerged quite recently.
Members of the IM profession have in some instances found it
helpful to think of themselves as hybrids in the sense of having
knowledge of several different aspects of organisational
management - I guess that HR professionals also need that kind of
hybrid knowledge. Also IM professionals often have a role as
boundary spanners, being able to communicate across several
different organisational areas and maintaining knowledge flows
withing teams drawn from different fields.
It may be that our strength as Learning Developers is that we can
adopt that boundary spanning role - not only between students and
academics but also between academics in different disciplines.
Perhaps, rather than wishing for idenification as academics we need
to find ways of capitalising on our hybrid nature. I know that we're
all based in different kinds of sections in our universities. I wonder
whether any of us feel that we can do that in our particular
situations.
All the best,
Ann
