Honored to be the keynote speaker, always happy for these chances to return home and reconnect with our scholars! Si Yuʻos maʻåseʻ University of Guam! Scholars, artists, community experts, and students are invited to start submitting their work for consideration at the 46th Annual CLASS Research Conference, scheduled for March 6 and 7, 2025. This year’s theme is “Tapestries of Resilience: Securing Our Island Communities.”

What if the scientific and pedagogic trajectories of universities were the emergent properties of evolutionary micro-dynamics ? If so, how would the nature and direction of State fundings affect these trajectories ? An attempted answer in our paper in progress together with Andrea Borsato and Valentina Erasmo to be presented today at the 65th Annual Conference of the Italian Economic Association, in Urbino

By understanding past discoveries and innovations, we can better inform our approach to future endeavors. Join me in reflecting on the lessons learned from history and how they can shape our path forward. Read the full article here: https://ift.tt/yCsdtcS

Abigail Scott, a Short-Term Fellow at the Helmerich Center for American Research, is exploring a fascinating topic in her dissertation, "French Imperial Memory in the American West from 1760 to 1860." Learn more about how to conduct research at the Helmerich Center: bit.ly/ResearchHCAR

Happy to share the second paper of my PhD thesis! “Intersectional Invisibility: The Moderating Impact of Perceived Incongruence Between Stigmatized Identities”, co-authored by Constantina Badea, Amanda Sesko, and Mark Rubin. 🔎 In this research, we examined the psychological invisibility of individuals with multiple stigmatized identities (North African gay men). 📊 We found that these individuals were more likely to experience invisibility when their identities were perceived to be conflicting with each other. 👉 Check out the full paper at: https://lnkd.in/edaKc-7X

Indeed a relevant but overlooked non-properly-rewarded way of (potentially) having an impact in society from academic knowledge, and also learning from society's knowledge and expertise. An interesting (historical) question would be the socio-political context in which this two-way transfer instrument came into being and was adopted by universities. Was it to compensate the burdens and cumbursome process of transferring knowledge in the form of patents/spin-offs/start-ups? Julia Olmos Peñuela Ana García-Granero Oscar Llopis Francisco Javier Ortega-Colomer I look forward to knowing more about this phenomenon, and the different meanings and uses that different actors and/or stakeholders attach to it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this conference, thanks Lazaro! Our paper (The Centre for Researching Education and Labour (REAL), Wits University) looked at recognition of skills and qualifications in the Southern African region; we had an interesting session with a paper looking at the effects of migration on skill formation in Kosovo, with Linda Wanklin and Jehona Serhati, and migrants and VET in the UK with Andrea Laczik. What roles VET can and can't play in supporting migrants, but equally importantly from the perspective of us in the South, how the migration of skilled workers affects our economies and skill formation systems, is going to be an increasingly important issue.

It’s been wonderful working with Dr Tara Webster-Deakin and Dr Charlotte Verney on this collaborative piece featured in the London Review of Education Third Space special issue edited by Celia Whitchurch and Grace Healy. Heightened awareness and research into the contributions of third space professionals in higher education are so important and we’re thrilled to have worked together to bring our individual research into different professionals (technical staff, widening participation professionals and academic administrators) together 💫 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eu5jxg7q
