We need to develop our education with an unsentimental understanding of own situation in order to build future leadership, who can prepare citizens to cope with multi-perspective realities. The core of education must aim to turn people into social capital, who can maturely understand their stake to develop national culture and institutions, and manage the republic. Only virtuous education can make the new sovereignty worthwhile and dignified.

As universities strive to remain competitive in our increasingly globalized world, EMI has emerged as a game-changing strategy. Universities we have worked with report: 🎓 Enhanced Global Recognition ·      Increased visibility in international university rankings ·      Greater appeal to international students and faculty ·      Stronger partnerships with prestigious global institutions ·      Improved research collaboration opportunities worldwide The shift to EMI isn't just about language—it's about preparing institutions for leadership in global higher education. #HigherEducation #EMI #GlobalEducation #InternationalEducation #AcademicLeadership #EducationTransformation #UniversityStrategy #GlobalizationInEducation

The recent QS Higher Ed Summit discussed the integration of sustainability and cultural diversity in #highereducation – topics that align closely with SARUA’s mission for #innovation and #sustainabledevelopment across the #SADC region. The focus on inclusive policies and preparing graduates for global challenges is a shared priority for institutions everywhere. We’re all striving toward the same goals, and by collaborating, we can create meaningful change in education for both local and global communities.

Today’s post might ruffle a few feathers, but we're having an eclipse so it is timed right. If academics say that “academic freedom” is the cornerstone of the university, this post aims to take them up on that core value. Educational institutions must begin to ask tough questions about their survivability over the next decade when around them the leadership in so many sectors are changing to reflect the world we live in, but at these institutions, there is still an invisible line intersected by races, genders and identities that continue to not hold leadership roles at our universities. May this post spark debate, that's what I'm here for.

📢 Excited to share my latest publication in the Journal of College Student Development titled "University Leadership as a Racialized Space: Building Constructs for an Emerging Theory"! 📚 I delve into the covert yet pervasive racialized processes within academic organizations, particularly focusing on the experiences of 93 Latine mid-level student affairs administrators. Through a constructivist grounded theory approach, I challenge prevailing leadership discourses and propose a framework for understanding university leadership through a racialized lens. Key findings highlight how structural practices intersect to create a racialized space within university leadership: *Leadership is not neutral— it is raced, gendered, and classed. *Pathways for Latine leaders are constrained through structural exclusion. *Formal credentialing and notions of professionalism often reinforce whiteness as the standard for leadership legitimacy. *Social and material resources are inequitably distributed, perpetuating barriers for Latine administrators seeking advancement. This research sheds light on the complexities of career aspirations and professional pathways for Latine administrators in higher education. It's time to recognize and address the systemic inequalities within university leadership to foster a more inclusive and equitable environment for all. https://lnkd.in/gg2CjTfj #HigherEd #LeadershipResearch #RepresentationMatters #AcademicTwitter #SAPro
