Cipriano, Robert E.; Buller, Jeffrey L. – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2012

Rathbun, Gail; Turner, Nancy – International Journal for Academic Development, 2012
Academic developers are often positioned as intermediaries who wield value-neutral tools--languages, models, and techniques--in service of decidedly non-neutral institutional goals.

Consequently,…
