Abstract
The Third Space in higher education encompasses both identities and labor. This paper begins with a discussion of work-based and professional identities within higher education and the growth of the Third Space. Moten and Harney’s (2004) Undercommons is used to further explain the Third Space. We discuss how social capital and communities of practice are central to creating solidarity end with a discussion of recommendations to better support Third Space professionals.
