Dr Ilias Krystallis has contributed to a new report on the value of academic advisers in local and regional authorities. His recent policy fellowship with the Greater London Authority was selected as a case study to demonstrate the impact of his research in developing a knowledge brokerage function for the London Research and Policy Partnership. Dr Krystallis said: “ During my policy fellowship with the Greater London Authority, I conducted research into the field of knowledge exchange, specifically examining the evolution of knowledge brokerage within a collaborative partnership between the University of London and the Greater London Authority. Our findings can provide policymakers with valuable insights to inform the development of policies and interventions that are more closely aligned with the natural evolution of knowledge brokerage networks. This, in turn, has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of policies and practices.” Read more and get the report:  https://lnkd.in/eqJDv258 Read the research: https://lnkd.in/eV_6E4g9 #knowledgebroker #knowledgebrokerage #builtenvironment

Our next medals and awards recipient in the spotlight is Professor Peter Hopkins FAcSS. 🎖️ Peter has been awarded the Back Award for sustained and outstanding contributions to policy development through research. His recent research focuses on Islamophobia, how it operates within society, and refugee experiences. Over the last two decades, Peter's work has been influential in shaping policy and practice. However, early in his career, the path to influence was not immediate. When asked what he wished he had known earlier in his career, he said: 🗣️ "One thing I wish I had learned earlier in my career is that rejection is a regular experience for academics. Whether it be about entering the job market after your PhD, securing research funding, getting a book contract, or publishing in a highly respected journal, it is inevitable that there will be many rejections along the way." 👉 To read Peter's full Q&A and learn more about his current work, head here: https://lnkd.in/gxXBseZU

I was so honored to deliver the Carmelo Mesa-Lago Keynote Lecture at the Latin American Social and Public Policy Conference last Friday at the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Drawing on my work on engaged research and public engagement practice, I shared insights on "The Power of Collective Knowledge in Social and Public Policy Research and Practice." While universities are organized around asking faculty, staff, and students to focus on and demonstrate what we know, an equally important focus should be on what we don't know, asking ourselves...Who knows? How can I connect with them? How can I respect them? How can I learn from and with them? How can we work together? There is incredible power in collective knowledge that engages the expertise held by communities, practitioners, and more. The complexity of our world and the challenges that we face ask us to work differently. We need ALL of the experts.

🌱 Welcome to a workshop on: "Critical theory & social practice in the Nordics: is there a Nordic critical theory?", organized by the NSU study circle "What is critical about critical theory? Bridging the gap between social science and philosophy." A collaboration between Stockholm University and NSU | Nordic Summer University. 📅 When and where? February 13-15th, 2025 at Stockholm University, Sweden. 💎 We invite scholars at all stages of their careers and other professionals working in/with critical theory who wish to contribute to exploring the idea of a Nordic critical theory, either as it has been developed during the 20th century or as it is being developed now. 📌 We invite contributions on a broad range of topics around the theme of a Nordic critical theory: • What did the reception look like in the Nordics of various schools of critical theory? • What theory is being developed today? Around which specific themes and in relation to what experiences of emancipatory practices? • How could a reconstructed Nordic tradition of critical theory contribute to developing new social analysis? Does such a tradition have specific traits; concerning ideas of emancipation and ideas of oppression? • What in this tradition (if there is one) is underdeveloped? How can it be further developed to fit the present situation? 📌 Confirmed keynotes by Bernard Harcourt, Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Columbia University and @Thomas Wallgren, Professor of Philosophy, University of Helsinki. 📧 Submission of abstracts (300 words) by email to Karolina Enquist Källgren karolina.kallgren@idehist.su.se.
