"If you are anywhere near or around the CTL world, you likely know (or know about) Mary Wright. Her 2023 JHU Press publication, Centers for Teaching and Learning: The New Landscape in Higher Education, is a must-read for every university leader. Mary-along with Tracie Addy, Bret Eynon and Jaclyn Rivard -also has a forthcoming book with Johns Hopkins (2026), which will provide a 20-plus-year look at continuities and changes in the field of educational development."
"As in the U.S., a faculty appointment (here, called an academic appointment) varies greatly across and even within Australian institutions. In my role, I serve as a Horizon Educator, an education-focused academic role, which carries a heuristic of 70 percent time to education, 20 percent to scholarship and 10 percent to leadership or service-related activities. Like my prior 20-plus years of experience in the U.S., I am still an academic developer (called an educational developer in the U.S.),"
Mary Wright moved from her roles at Brown University — associate provost for teaching and learning and executive director of the Sheridan Center — to a faculty appointment at the University of Sydney. She holds a Horizon Educator position with a heuristic allocation of 70% education, 20% scholarship and 10% leadership/service. Educational development work centers on teaching and mentoring academics. She is a level‑E academic, comparable to a full professor in the U.S. Her 2023 Johns Hopkins University Press book Centers for Teaching and Learning: The New Landscape in Higher Education is widely cited, and a 2026 coauthored JHU book is forthcoming.
