The anxiety of making academics over : resistance and responsibility in the academic development project

Tai Peseta, Catherine Manathunga

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

In this paper, we offer a critical deliberation on the academic development project. In particular, we investigate how the academic development community is positioned to make sense of manifestations and enactments of academics' resistance to pedagogical development efforts. In doing so, we draw attention to a conceptual tension inherent within the academic development project itself" that it must invite resistance and responsibility simultaneously, if it is to contribute at all to debates about the reinvigoration of the University.
