When I read this article, I thought about W.E.B. Du Bois and Kurt Lewin. Interestingly, this article cites Du Bois. "Du Bois thought scientific research could advance social change..." "It’s a compelling story of how academic expertise can advance societal good. But until higher ed makes more changes in how it values and rewards this research, that narrative could remain uncommon." #research #highered #socialpsychology #academia #socialimpact

Over 100 people have already registered for our workshop with Dr. Emily Janke on "Defining and Describing Community-Engaged Scholarship for Promotion and Tenure!" It is awesome to see so much interest for this topic — an important conversation that we need to be having at UBC. Tenure track can be a daunting road for scholars who practice engaged research methods, especially because traditional Promotion and Tenure (P&T) policies often do not adequately recognize or value community-engaged scholarship (CES) as an essential aspect of academic work. Join us online on May 21, to learn how to define and describe community-engaged scholarship for P&T and better your chances at having CES understood and valued. Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/gS_Q5VrT

Pursuing a doctoral degree is a significant commitment that challenges students not only academically but also emotionally and mentally. It's a journey that requires perseverance, dedication, and a strong support system. Among the various forms of support, the role of family is pivotal in ensuring both the success and persistence of doctoral students. Why is family support so vital? • Emotional Stability: Doctoral studies can be demanding, and having a supportive family provides emotional stability, offering encouragement and a listening ear during challenging times. • Motivation: When motivation wanes, family members can help reignite the drive and passion for one's research goals. • Perspective: Families can help maintain a sense of perspective, reminding students of life outside the academic sphere and the importance of balance. • Idea Generation: Conversations with family can spark new ideas, clarify thoughts, and sometimes lead to significant insights. But what does effective support look like, and how can doctoral students balance their need for independence with their appreciation for family support? We explore these questions, offering strategies and insights on how to create a nurturing environment conducive to academic success. Explore More on Our YouTube Video: For a deeper dive into the importance of family support in doctoral studies, check out our latest video. It includes tips, expert advice, and inspiring stories of how family support has made a difference for doctoral students. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g-T9JGaN Understanding the dynamics of family support can be transformative for doctoral students. Let's acknowledge the vital role families play in the academic journey. We Want to Hear from You: Have you experienced the impact of family support during your doctoral studies? Share your experiences and advice in the comments below. Let’s foster a community of support and exchange! #DoctoralSuccess #FamilySupport #AcademicJourney #PhDSupport

Community-based research has the potential to find solutions to many of our country’s most pressing issues, but outdated notions about what types or research—and researchers—are seen as rigorous and valid within academia can stand in the way of progress. In a recent piece for The Chronicle of Higher Education, Karin Fischer writes about how researchers, universities, and funders can move the world of academic research out of the ivory tower and build public trust in the process.
