Stanton, Katherine; Young, Suzanne – International Journal for Academic Development, 2022
The pandemic forced universities to move rapidly to remote teaching, and Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) played a large role in ensuring that transition.

This reflection uses poetry to illustrate how the COVID-19 pandemic uniquely illuminates the holistic nature of academic development. The virus stripped away the pretence that the success of higher education rests on select parts of the whole. We are all precarious and expendable; we are all integral and important. Each one of us, each part of us,…
