Foreword: GTAs negotiating development trajectories in the modern edu-factory.

Abstract

The third issue of Postgraduate Pedagogies provides a rich assemblage of the Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) experience, capturing the nuances of practice within the complexity of a rapidly changing education-factory. The articles offer a range of perspectives from the community of GTAs about the duality of the lecturer/GTA-PGR role, identity transitions, and the skills, attributes and knowledges needed. The Postgraduate Pedagogies Journal continues to demonstrate the uniqueness of knowledges and insights that GTAs provide in Higher Education Institutions, including a kaleidoscope of the dynamics of their relationships with each other, their students, experienced colleagues, and their institutions. This issue also provides well-structured and analytical solutions for enhancing staff recruitment, professional development, and the student experience.
