On being damned if you do, damned if you don't: "Democratisation requires more than access to a tool. It requires dismantling the structures that make the tool necessary in the first place" blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci... #AcademicWriting #WhatMakesWritingAcademic #AcademicPublishing #AcWri #AI

AI promised to democratise academic publishing – the evidence says otherwise - LSE Impact

It was thought AI would level the playing field in academic publishing for non-native English speakers. A growing body of evidence to reveals the opposite.

Critical Perspectives on Academic Writing The politics and practices of writing development in UK higher education Edited by Ayanna Prevatt-Goldstein and David Mallows UCLPRESS Publication date: May 13, 2026 Open Access PDF ISBN: 9781806550746 Paperback ISBN: 9781806550739 Hardback ISBN: 9781806550722 Trim size (hardback): 23.4cm x 15.6cm Trim size (paperback): 23.4cm x 15.6cm Critical Perspectives on Academic Writing The politics and practices of writing development in UK higher education Critical Perspectives on Academic Writing offers a timely, theoretically grounded examination of the often marginalised yet foundational role of academic writing in UK higher education. Based on the UCL Institute of Education's Academic Writing Seminar Series, the volume brings together leading researchers and practitioners to interrogate the contested politics, practices, and pedagogies of academic writing development. Against the backdrop of internationalisation, widening participation, neoliberalisation, and the rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence in higher education, the contributors consider how we value academic writing and how we support student writing development. The first part of the book frames the choices we make when working with writing or with developing writers as inherently political rather than neutral. The second focuses on the implications of generative Al for student academic writing; and the third situates research on academic writing and literacies in the practices of learning and teaching. By examining the roles of writing specialists, subject lecturers, and institutional policy, the book highlights both challenges and possibilities for change. It combines critical insights with practical approaches to writing pedagogy, offering an essential resource for educators, researchers and policymakers seeking to rethink the place of writing in the modern university.

"are you open to being changed by the encounter with the reader? Are you genuinely ready for the reader’s response? [...] When a piece of writing fails to convince despite its technical competence, the problem is often [...] in how the writer sounds". #DoctoralWriting patthomson.net/2026/03/15/w...

what’s Habermas got to do with academic writing?

Jürgen Habermas died on Saturday 14 March, 2026 in Starnberg, near Munich. He was 96. The news has been moving through academic social media in the way these things do, with people sharing half-rem…

Scientific writing and writing for the public are very different. As I do both, is that difference eroding for me? And if it is, is that good or bad?

Are my academic and non-academic writing styles converging? And would that be good?

I spent the first 25 years of my academic career writing scientific papers (and the grant proposals to fund them, of course). I never found that easy – although it got easier through time (and it c…

My statement on Ai from the mini-comic as syllabus i made for new class I'm teaching that starts tomorrow! It robs you of your decisions & struggles - and the joy of being surprised. We won’t to be robbed of our learning - this is essential. This & the full mini at post: bsky.app/profile/nsou...

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.
