ABSTRACT
Resilience becomes increasingly critical in today’s higher education environment, which faces numerous challenges and disruptions. Academic developers are in a unique position to assist in facilitating resilience at individual, departmental, and institutional levels. Based on a valuable collection of work in the current issue of the International Journal for Academic Development, this editorial synthesises how resilience is defined, promoted, and sustained through various theoretical lenses and approaches. Put together, these contributions highlight the importance of relationship and capacity building, ethical partnership, proper reward and recognition, and more importantly, a critical examination of many of the assumptions underlying the current structures and systems.
