| description |
Poorly defined roles and inconsistently used titles present a significant barrier to understanding and valuing the work of third-space professionals (Bird, 2004; Caldwell, 2022; Veles et al., 2023).

This brief communication considers factors in higher education, from the cultural to the pragmatic, which contribute to this confusion.
