In this episode of The Academic Minute podcast, Ryan Madan, associate professor of teaching in the Department of Humanities and Arts, discusses the results of a WPI alumni survey which suggest WPI's project-based humanities and arts curriculum helps students explore themselves, the human experience, and equips them with tools and perspectives that deepen their learning in STEM fields. https://bit.ly/3Vb7u52

The 2024 Survey of College and University Chief Academic Officers highlights the critical challenges and opportunities facing higher education today. In this podcast, we explore key topics such as academic freedom, the viability of tenure, faculty and staff retention, the impact of artificial intelligence, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Along with George Justice, I share insights into how academic leaders are navigating these complex issues. Join us for an engaging discussion to understand how universities are adapting to these turbulent times. #HigherEducation #Leadership #Education #AI #DiversityAndInclusion #AcademicFreedom #UniversityLeadership #FacultyRetention #Tenure #Innovation #EdTech #HigherEd #Podcast #Provost #LinkedInLearning #JulianVasquezHeilig #GeorgeJustice #InsideHigherEd #EducationTrends #FutureOfEducation

I see an increasing amount of reference to DEI, both in private business as well as university settings. This long (1:05) podcast that features Azim Shariff who has developed a taxonomy useful in understanding the differing motivations among those charged with university hiring and hence, de facto DEI. It can be quite nuanced and frustratingly vague at times, but is never-the-less a useful look at an attempt to understand and tame what has become a somewhat divisive acronym. https://lnkd.in/g93ytNcV

There is certainly a case to be made for and against foreign branches of universities but they can sometimes offer great opportunities for international students who are not ready to leave the country just yet or who can no longer afford the international cost of attendance at prominent American and UK universities. Make sure to listen to the Freakonomics three-episode series on American colleges for a more in-depth view of the advantages or disadvantages of college satellites on the the link: https://lnkd.in/gQ_wwybz #college #university #applications #podcast #Freakonomics #Greece

I’m excited to share a brand new episode of the Belong in HE podcast, where we dive into what goes into creating Culturally Sensitive Curricula with two remarkable guests, Dr. Dave S.P. Thomas (SFHEA) and Kathleen M. Quinlan. In this enlightening conversation, we explore the nuances of cultural sensitivity in Higher Education, discuss the origins and impact of the Culturally Sensitive Curricular Scale (CSCS), and uncover practical strategies to promote educational justice. This episode is packed with insights on how Culturally Sensitive Curricula can transform the learning experience for all students, particularly those from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds. Watch or listen to the full episode on YouTube: https://buff.ly/4fadKDl or Spotify: https://buff.ly/4cyTzx4 Additionally, I am pleased to announce that Dave and Kathleen's new book will be released this week. I highly encourage you to explore this publication, along with their academic journal articles, for an in-depth understanding of their research and findings into Culturally Sensitive Curricula Scales: 1.

How can being part of a maths circle help those teaching mathematics out of field, that is outside of their teaching qualification areas? To find out more, I recently quizzed a former pres of the Mathematical Assoc of Vic, Michaela Epstein, for my Out-of-Field Teaching Toolkit podcast. Some great insights and tips in this pod about making connections within maths and encouraging mathematical reasoning among your students. Michaela also advises on how to help students retain learned material using cognitive science and practical classroom strategies. She shares some free resources, too. #mathsteaching #outoffieldteaching #mathematicsteaching https://lnkd.in/gWFP7ZWV

Thanks Marcela! Md Ulfat Tahsin, this is the podcast I was talking about. This is a fantastic podcast with great big picture ideas about the general PhD structure and issues PhD students face. Highly recommend having a listen. Especially valuable since the writer of the book is in the humanities. It gives a good perspective on how similar and different things are outside of engineering. #phd #phdlife #engineeringeducation
