Academic citizenship underpins the day-to-day functioning and
long-term sustainability of universities, as well as supporting
organizational learning, ensuring universities can continue to make a
relevant contribution to changing needs in society. It helps
strengthen connections between universities and the world beyond
academia. The pandemic and new developments in the digital space have
had a transformative effect on the higher education landscape, making
it necessary to revisit discussion about academic citizenship, explore
the extent to which it continues to act as the glue that holds
institutions together, and consider which elements should be
reintroduced or strengthened to encourage collaboration and
partnership. Re-envisioning Academic Citizenship examines the concept
and importance of citizenship through several different and ever
evolving lenses, offering guidelines for universities to develop
definitions that resonate with their own mission and the specificities
of their own context. These guidelines offer support to colleagues in
managerial roles to develop academic career framework policy
documents; to implement career progression policies which benefit
individuals and institutions in equitable measure; and to design
initiatives that incentivize and support citizenship behaviours and
meaningful partnership and collaboration. Simultaneously, the insights
will help academics, at all career stages, understand how to enact
citizenship for wider benefit.
