Abstract
ABSTRACT There has been extensive research conducted into the plight of casual academic staff, the precarious nature of their work, their limited academic development opportunities, and their heightened risk of being positioned on the periphery of the workforce in academia. Institutions have attempted to mitigate this risk through the provision of academic development interventions at all levels of higher education. This paper builds on existing literature through a discussion of the current state of staff and academic development provided to this group in higher education. Through a critical overview of prevailing issues, the paper also prompts academic developers and leaders to reimagine employment structures in academia for facilitating the full integration of casual staff in higher education institutions.
