Looking for Women Activists in the Philippines

“Collaborative

The following message is posted at the request of Dr. Lora Forsythe, at the Natural Resources Institute, Faculty of Engineering and Science, of the University of Greenwich, UK. Deadline: 6 April 2024.

“I am currently working on a grant proposal to the British Academy for research in the Philippines and Brazil. We already have a partner in the Philippines (Center for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development) but this grant is research focused, so ideally we are looking for an academic (with a PhD) who can work with us on our study on women activists in the Philippines, and how they are engaging with issues around climate change. Our previous research has involved indigenous women, but we are not sure yet if we will choose to focus specifically on indigenous women or women more broadly.”

If this describes you, or you know someone it describes, please get in touch with her directly.

HIBLend Survey on Blended Student Mobility (Finland)

“Collaborative

HIBLend survey on Blended Student Mobility practices, Academic Cooperation Association, funded by the EU. Deadline: 7 July 2023.

CID followers are asked to complete this survey if they have relevant experience.

“This questionnaire has been prepared in the framework of the HIBLend project “Fostering high-quality blended student mobility in higher education” funded under the Erasmus+ programme. HIBLend aims to build the capacity of higher education institutions to design and deliver quality blended mobility opportunities for students through the exchange of good practice and peer learning. The project is coordinated by the Academic Cooperation Association and implemented in close collaboration with the European University Foundation, the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders, Masaryk University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences.

The aim of this survey is to map different approaches to blended student mobility in the post-Covid context. For the purpose of this questionnaire, blended mobility is understood as an international learning activity consisting of a physical mobility experience and a complementary virtual learning component delivered prior, during or after the physical mobility stage.

Common examples of blended student mobility include Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) for students funded under the Erasmus+ programme or other types of blended short-term study mobility activities funded at the EU, national or institutional level (e.g., summer schools).

This survey targets any administrative or academic staff actively involved in the design or delivery of blended mobility activities at the central or faculty/department level (e.g., International Mobility Coordinators, study programme coordinators, teachers/professors, e-learning consultants, methodological advisors, quality assurance officers, IRO, IT officers).

The questionnaire consists of four major parts encompassing: (a) background information on the respondents, (b) motivation for the set-up of a blended mobility activity, (c) delivery mode, and (d) challenges to implementation and impact. The questionnaire is in English language, please provide all of your answers in English language only. It takes ca. 20 minutes to complete this questionnaire.”

Colleagues Wanted: Nowruzgan

“Collaborative

Nowruzgan (based in Tehran, Iran) defines a new understanding of broad international connections, beyond existing international boundaries. They are seeking colleagues to support and collaborate with them.

“In the northern hemisphere, in western Asia, in an area with Darband Mountains and the Jaxartes (Syr Darya) to its north, northern range of the Himalayas to its east, Indus River to its southeast, southern shores of the Oman Sea and the Persian Gulf to its south, and Euphrates River and the eastern coast of the Black Sea to its west, there lies a land which is divided between modern territories of Iran, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Dagestan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sheikhdoms in the South Oman Sea and the South Persian Gulf, Iraq, and Eastern Turkey. It is also scattered in several geographical regions such as West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, and a part of the Middle East. People from this land are connected by a millennial culture, despite ethnic and linguistic differences and diversities. This culture’s best and most alive representative is Nowruz Festivity; thus, this land can be called “Nowruz Land.”

In the Nowruzgan network, organizers seek to address different aspects of Nowruz Land, including anything in connection with links between its peoples or their culture. Therefore, we have named the network ‘Nowruzgan’ (nawrūz-gān), attributing it to Nowruz.

Respecting the nations mentioned above and their laws, Nowruzgan does not belong to either of them; in other words, it concerns Iran and Afghanistan as much as it concerns Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Pakistan.”
