While the phrase "academic practice" is increasingly used within higher education, a shared intellectual meaning should not be assumed. Therefore, this network is important in developing an understanding both of the changing nature of academic practice and its effects on students and wider society. There are a range of research interests and perspectives reflected by the network. These include colleagues with an interest in the scholarship of teaching and learning, socio-cultural aspects of academic work, and the complex nature of academic identity. The shifting nature of "academic practice" means that the network also includes a number of colleagues in learning support roles. Regular events are a feature of the network in providing opportunities for discussion, dissemination and networking.
