10 SES 13 A, Developing New Epistemologies for Strengthening the Moral Bases of Academic Practices for Social Wellbeing
Symposium
Contribution
My work as a professional educator in higher education involves supervising research programmes for academic staff, which also involves their writing for publication. From my commitments to professional accountability, my research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of my educational influences in colleagues’ learning as I help them develop capacity in research and in academic literacies, two key policy issues for debates about the nature and management of professional education in universities. Given our individual and collective commitments to relational and dialogical epistemologies of practice for cultures of educational enquiry, we therefore engage with questions about how we can explicate our methodologies for educational accountability through the production of high quality texts. Thus we aim to produce accounts of research-based practice, and therefore, as academic workers, demonstrate collective responsibility for the moral purposes of our university. These accounts constitute a public knowledge base for appreciating academic professionalism as the grounds for new policy spheres. A key significance of the research is its potential for reclaiming the university as a main contributing agency in debates about what counts as legitimate knowledge for the education of social formations.
