This special issue of TESOL in Context focuses on the topic of “Ethics in TESOL”. In it a number of issues are explored including accountability of ESOL teachers to their students and communities, the development of ethical responsibility for professional life and how research can inform and transform practice.

The Impact

In this article, I use my personal experience of being a UK-based EU national and researcher during ‘Brexit’ as a vehicle to explore how the ‘rise of the right’ may be affecting qualitative researchers, their practice, and the context in which their inquiry takes place. In particular, I explore the shift in my sense of belonging as a result of the Brexit vote and the impact that this has on my willingness to remain in Britain and on my research practice. I conceptualise ‘belonging’ as fluid and relational, and I highlight the central role that ‘welcoming the other’ can play in facilitating such processes. This then forms the foundation of my exploration of what I think we, as qualitative researchers, can do for our communities as a response to the recent political developments discussed in this special issue.

Professional Field

<p>Belonging to a community of research practice as applied linguists or as<br />academics in any field is part of our professional life. Being an academic implies,<br />inter alia, creativity in advancing knowledge in the disciplines, which reflects in<br />writing journal articles, presenting papers in conferences, doing research, teaching,<br />tutoring students and publishing. Globally, every higher education institution<br />requires that academics publish in prominent journals to make their work and<br />their institution visible and influence their professional field. However, the questions<br />that arise concerning academic production are how do communities of research<br />support academic production?, How do higher education institutions help novice<br />researchers develop academic writing competences?, What is the place of writing<br />within research? How do institutions foster quality publication?</p>
