Abstract
In this short vignette I reflect on the question ‘What does academic development mean to me in my current context as a programme leader in Clinical Education?’ Am I even an academic developer any longer? And yet I find myself drawn to respond to the question. Having moved, 6 years ago, from a typical academic developer role, situated within a centralised teaching and learning unit, I now find myself in what appears to be a more clearly defined lecturing role as an Professor in Educational Enhancement. I am employed on an academic teaching-focused contract, my main responsibility being to lead an Advance HE accredited Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Clinical Education. I am not then, by name at least, an academic developer. However, I contend that I ‘do’ academic development work. Does this make me an intruder here? An ex-academic developer, not wanting to ‘let go’, simultaneously suffering the imposter syndrome of being a non-clinician in a medical school? For me though academic development is not so much about the job title but how individuals enact academic development work – either formally or informally – and the transformative impact of that work on individuals and their teaching.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal for Academic Development ( IJAD) is the journal of the International Consortium for Educational Development. The purpose of IJAD is to enable academic/educational/faculty developers in higher education across the world to exchange ideas about practice and extend the theory of educational development, with the goal of improving the quality of higher education internationally. The editors welcome original contributions on any aspect of academic/educational/faculty development in higher and other post-school education (including staff development, educational development, instructional development and faculty development) and closely related topics. We define ‘academic development’ broadly, and you should read former editor Brenda Leibowitz’s recent paper, ‘Reflections on academic development: what is in a name?’ ( http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rija20/19/4#.VMcX6_7oSGo) to make sure that your understanding of academic development marries with the general sense of the journal. We will NOT accept submissions on K-12 development or teacher education; primary/secondary/high school education in general; or the role that education plays in ‘development’ (economic growth, poverty reduction, environmental sustainability, etc.).
