(2024). A community-based practice for the co-development of women academic leaders. International Journal for Academic Development. Latest Articles. (pp. 1-17).1360-144Xhttps://mro.massey.ac.nz/handle/10179/70027Academic development usually focuses on individuals, with activities bounded by institutional strategy. There is a lack of research exploring the emergence of cross-institutional communities of practice and their ability to offer opportunities for professional collaboration, particularly for underrepresented or marginalised groups. Our study highlights how, after a formal program, individuals from different institutions facilitated deeper connections, transcending hierarchical boundaries and nurturing a sense of trust. Drawing from our experiences, we examine the emergence of a collegiate group of academic women as a community of practice. Co-development through community-based relationships enable personal and professional growth outcomes including, but not limited to, promotion and esteem recognition.(c) 2024 The Author/sCC BY-NC-ND 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Academic developmentacademic leadershipco-developmentcommunity-based relationshipsmentorshipJournal article10.1080/1360144X.2024.23560521470-1324journal-article1-17
