Abstract
This paper offers an alternative, futures perspective to the data presented in the DEEWR study titled ‘The Australian academic profession in transition: Addressing the challenge of reconceptualising academic work and regenerating the academic workforce’ published by the Centre for the Study of Higher Education (CSHE) at Melbourne University in September 2011 (Bexley et al, 2011). The CSHE study offers 12 principles to guide planning for the future academic workforce that are grounded in presentism and the traditional conceptualisation of the academic career.
