“…A major innovation at the new American research universities was the introduction of the first known system of sabbatical leave at Harvard University in 1880 (Eells, ). This concept, which was subsequently implemented at other US research universities, provided its academics with periods of uninterrupted research by freeing them at regular intervals from their duties in teaching and administration.…”

This paper outlines how the mobility of academic talent as a significant dimension of highly skilled migration has impacted on the formation and shifting of global knowledge centres. By conceptualising talent mobility as an integral part of multifold mobilisation processes in Latourian centres of calculation, the paper aims to contribute to an ongoing development of the theoretical resources underpinning migration studies. Using Latour's concept, it examines two case studies on the global circulation of researchers and academics in the 20th century to discuss what their insights imply for future geographies of knowledge production. The analysis shows how academic mobility from and to Europe has contributed to the emergence and reinforcement of an Anglo‐American hegemony in science and higher education since the early 20th century. Based on these historical experiences, it is argued that the recent increase in transnational academic mobility from and to Asia‐Pacific indicates future changes in the global geographies of knowledge production by shifting the emphasis from transatlantic to transpacific knowledge flows.

“…The resulting records show that the volume of academic travel from Cambridge remained relatively low until the periodic research leave, or sabbatical, was introduced in 1926, which raised the annual number of applications for leave of absence from consistently less than 10 to 31 in 1927-1928(Jöns, 2008. A similar reform had been pioneered by some American universities, where regular sabbatical leave had first been introduced at Harvard in 1880 (Eells, 1962). Almost 50 years later, Cambridge academics were now also entitled to devote one term for every six of normal service to their research, which encouraged university academics across all disciplines to travel for their research and thus elevated travel to the key research technique (Heffernan & Jöns, 2013).…”

“…Consistía en una liberación para el profesorado de sus obligaciones docentes, con el fin de enriquecer su experiencia y conocimiento disciplinar en otras universidades (Crosby, 1962). Este tipo de estrategias eran viables en el marco de universidades de élite, que formaban a estudiantes de clases altas con un interés genuino por el estudio.…”

El desarrollo docente del profesorado universitario es reconocido como un factor relevante para la mejora de la calidad educativa en las instituciones de educación superior. No obstante, detrás de este término se esconden concepciones y prácticas diferentes. Este trabajo pretende analizar este concepto a lo largo del tiempo y comprender profundamente la complejidad de sus significados, para lo cual pondremos la atención en los contextos de producción sociohistórica y en la investigación científica. Con tal objetivo se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura anglosajona más relevante en este ámbito educativo. El análisis permite concluir que se ha ido transitando desde un enfoque orientado a apoyar al profesorado en su desarrollo como docente, profesional y/o académico, hacia otro, enfocado a favorecer procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje efectivos a nivel micro y macro. Estos desafíos explicitan la necesidad de fomentar visiones más amplias que, más allá del profesorado, fijen la atención en las instituciones, los marcos y las infraestructuras que se dirigen a la enseñanza-aprendizaje.
