Authenticity In Academic Development: The Myth Of Neutrality, Gail Rathbun, Nancy Turner
Authenticity In Academic Development: The Myth Of Neutrality, Gail Rathbun, Nancy Turner
Gail A. Rathbun
Academic developers are often positioned as intermediaries who wield value-neutral tools—language, models, and techniques—in service of decidedly non-neutral institutional goals. We challenge the value of perpetuating the ideal of the neutrality of academic developers and their tools by examining the ways in which our resources and approaches produce imbalances of control, power, and authority in a consulting relationship.

By recognizing the improbability of neutrality in academic development work, the authors seek to open the way to constructive reflection, …

Alisa Percy, PhD
This special edition of the Journal of Academic Language and Learning arose out of a Forum titled Critical Discussions about Social Inclusion held at the University of Wollongong, Australia in June 2011. It was organised by academic language and learning educators from five different universities: Ingrid Wijeyewardene from the University of New England, Helen Drury from the University of Sydney, Caroline San Miguel from the University of Technology Sydney, Stephen Milnes from the Australian National University, and ourselves from the University of Wollongong. Initially funded by a grant from the Association for Academic Language and Learning, this funding was later …
