* Fellow Travellers in Development by Rosalind Eyben

* Professionalisation Trends and Inequality: experiences and practice... by Silke Roth

* `Living Well' while `Doing Good'? (Missing) debates on altruism and... by Anne-Meike Fechter

*  Effective Aid: the poetics of some aid workers' angles on how human...  by Raymond Apthorpe

Academic articles behind paywalls aren't necessarily the most discussable objects, but there are legitimate ways around this.
