Congratulations to Rebecca Morris, Reader in Education Studies (SELCS), on the publication of her latest paper, Understanding teacher recruitment and retention across the UK: A ‘home international’ comparison.

Drawing on policy analysis, national data, and interviews with stakeholders across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the research explores how different parts of the UK are responding to ongoing teacher recruitment and retention challenges. The findings highlight both the complexity of teacher supply issues and the varied approaches being taken to teacher training, recruitment, and early-career support.

Importantly, the paper argues for greater collaboration and knowledge-sharing across the four nations, alongside a stronger evidence base for policy and practice. At a time when attracting and retaining talented teachers remains a key priority across the sector, this research makes a timely and valuable contribution to the debate.

Congratulations to Rebecca on this important publication.

This special issue launch panel presents an edited collection of papers on academic mobilities, entitled Stuck and Sticky in Mobile Academia. It has been published in Higher Education and co-edited by Charikleia Tzanakou (Oxford Brookes University) and Emily F. Henderson (University of ÌÇÐÄTV). The core aim of this special issue was to explore the assumptions and norms underpinning the concepts of mobility and immobility and think beyond this binary, querying the conceptual certainties that are inherent to discourses around academic mobility itself. In this collection of papers, they have aimed to capture ways in which mobility and immobility intersect and overlap, where an academic may be both mobile and stuck, for instance.

The panel event is taking place on Friday 11 March 2022 12:00-14:00 and you can .
