This book takes a philosophical approach to the question 'what is
academic writing?' and specifically explores the question of how
academic writing and writing development can be better understood
and developed by lecturers in higher education. It examines how a
number of interconnected and interdisciplinary political,
linguistic, discursive, ontological and epistemological frameworks
can be used to inform a 'post-qualitative' approach for research
into higher education academic writing practices, employing a
Bourdusian/ Deluzean inspired approach. Using lecturers' own
perceptions and experiences of academic writing, and treating them
as part of a 'professional academic writing in higher education
habitus', the book illustrates and analyses a number of ideas and
concepts through a broadly post-qualitative paradigm. It also
offers a number of innovative academic writing and writing
development practices. Offering an in-depth discussion into how
lecturers might better negotiate academic writing practices and use
their own academic writing experiences to develop students'
writing, this book will be highly relevant to academics, scholars
and post-graduate students working in higher education.
The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)'s aims, implementation and
effect on the English higher education sector remains a
controversial and often contested subject. This text offers a
stimulating and wide-ranging interdisciplinary discussion of the
implications of the TEF on the UK's fast-moving policy environment,
and increasingly neoliberal higher education sector. Questioning
the basic premise of the TEF, the authors tease out how students
and staff are affected in different and often unfair ways by its
implementation. Whilst acknowledging that the TEF has focused
management attention on ways in which a diverse student population
is, or is not, supported in their learning, this book highlights
how it remains problematically silent on other kinds of diversity
in the system such as specialised courses, diverse teaching styles,
and varying institution sizes. Offering readers ways of rethinking
and resisting 'teaching excellence', this book provides a timely
examination of how, in various ways, the TEF, treated as an
exclusionary quality assurance system, is likely to reinforce
extant structural inequalities and competitive hierarchies in the
sector.

The introduction of the Teaching Excellence Framework heralds an
era of unprecedented scrutiny and focus on the quality of teaching
in universities in England. This book offers inter-disciplinary,
evidence-informed discussion around notions of excellence in higher
education teaching. It will act as a key stimulus for institutional
and sector-wide debates and a reference point for initiatives
around the TEF agenda. Drawing on the authentic, grounded
experiences of practising HE professionals and complemented by a
range of recent case studies, this book offers insight into the
pursuit of capturing excellence in the complex and wide-ranging
context of HE teaching. It will consider what the repercussions of
TEF might mean to those involved in learning and teaching in the
sector and how this might impact institutional policy and practice.
We know higher education is more than effective teaching and
learning. This series examine the issues impacting HE providers,
students, reputations and longevity of institutions across the
world. Great Debates are just that - discussions designed to assess
and evaluate the state of higher education systems, policies as
well as social and economic impacts looking at inclusivity,
accessibility, safety and leadership. These topics resonate with
students, researchers and HE administrators alike. Titles included
