#BAICE2024 Presidential address by my Glasgow colleague Prof. Michele Schweisfurth on ideological borders and epistemic/methodological camps in #comparativeEd international Ed. We see clear temporal shifts in the field, so what's ahead the next 20-30 years?
An excellent panel at the #BAICE2024 conference on rising Hinduism, feminist activism, caste system as portrayed in textbooks in India and teaching about British history in UK. Kudos to @LailaKadiwal, Amy Smail and Vinayak Kale. Community building @baicenews

Meeting a new colleague at Strathclyde to chat about higher Ed research. Impressed by their student union building with activism, open spaces, cafe and bar!

Thanks @ResearchCGHE for hosting a smorgasbord on #HEgeopolitics @ IOE yesterday and creating an incredible space for us to chat, laugh + collaborate well beyond London and yesterday. I'm incredibly touched by all the kind remarks and support from colleagues on my presentation!
Protests across Scotland today against the violence and genocide in Gaza. Large turnout in Edinburgh. Storm Babet suddenly disappeared! Sunshine!
Embarrassing to admit that I have not hiked up to Salisbury Crags in my 4 yrs living in Edinburgh until this past weekend! Stunning vista. I love it more than Arthur's Seat!
Heading for a viva as external examiner for a thesis on #HigherEd and nation building in post #Soviet #Kazakhstan w Susan Robertson as internal examiner. Enjoying the sights of Cambridge which strikes me as a cross between a cathedral and amusement park in higher ed landscape.
What to do on Halloween as a social scientist? Take your students to find the grave of a giant whose work continues to shape society + globe 232 years after his death! Knew his grave was somewhere near my office but never had time to meet him: Adam Smith, father of #capitalism!
Simulating #BAICE2022 presidential keynote from @novelli_mario particularly on academics' complicity in inequality in our field and responsibility to speak out and protect junior colleagues standing up for marginalisation
Foreigners dancing up a storm at #baice2022 ceilidh. Memorable night w great fun but not sure how Scottish the end result was given the enthusiastic policy borrowing and rapid uptake! @MccowanTristan @pherali Michele Schweisfurth in great form! #comparativeEd @baicenews
Captured lots of incriminating evidence at #BAICE2022 ceilidh. Like the Panama Papers, these videos will be released one by one 😂 @AliandraBarlete @RSabates72 @novelli_mario #comparativeEd
An excellent panel at #BAICE2022 on #indigenous knowledge, #epistemology, and unequal partnerships in #highereducation Great work @piercy_emma @cmontgo84143270
