Content  Background  Research  Findings  Context  New geographical spaces/frontiers?  Conclusion

Background  Currently researching innovative curricula and international postgraduates experiences of verbal feedback  Finished PhD at Loughborough University in 2012  Opportunity to look back at the data with a new lens

Research  Transnational Higher Education Networks (TNLTs) for Learning and Teaching in Geography  178 survey responses and 40 interviews with organisers and users from 9 TNLTs

Research  Transnational Higher Education Networks (TNLTs) for Learning and Teaching in Geography  178 survey responses and 40 interviews with organisers and users from 9 TNLTs  Motivations, Experiences, Outcomes of academic networking with focus on Technology utilisation

Findings (1)  TNLTs have potential to encourage and further international communication between native English speakers and non- native English speakers  Gender imbalances exist - women less recognised for networking and less financially supported than their male colleagues

Findings (2)  TNLTs perpetuate both collectivistic and individualistic tendencies - networking described as contribution to institutional knowledge & strategy to seek career promotion  International academic networking is facilitated only up to a point by technology but not driven by it

Context  Academic networking encourages mobility of the highly skilled  Borders involved in networking are fluid  Academics who have to negotiate immigration policy  Incentive to network online rather than travel?

Access/knowledge of opportunities Virtual mobility Physical mobility

 Thanks for listening
