Qualitative case study analysis reveals academic hospitality as an ongoing professional framework in educational developers, highlighting new pathways for community onboarding and value modeling.
Since 1997, the Professional and Organizational Development (POD) Network has hosted the Institute for New Educational Developers (INED), a multi-day event intended to help people just entering the field. While each iteration of the INED is enacted in a highly localized and contextualized fashion, each seeks to address the needs of the intended (though imagined) community and to model and embody the values that are significant to both POD and the field as a whole. Using case studies from 2015–2023, the authors posit academic hospitality as an ongoing framework not only for how we (as educational developers) are invited into the field but also for how we enable, enact, and envision our community to others.
