This interdisciplinary book review delves into “Contextualised Critical Reflections on Academic Development Practices: Towards Professional Learning” (edited by Teboho Pitso), offering unique perspectives from a clinical psychologist and a PhD candidate in higher education studies. The review critically engages with the three central themes: Teaching and Technology Support, Student Support, and Prospects and Possible Future Trajectories in Academic Development. Drawing on personal experiences in academia, the review intertwines reflections on these themes with a closing examination of Pitso's thought-provoking exploration of identity and alienation. This review offers a nuanced understanding of professional learning, bridging the gap between psychological and educational perspectives on academic development.
