What's the 'achievement gap' and why does it matter?

Poorer students, African-Canadians, First Nations youth less likely to do post-secondary.
For many children, that ecstatic first day of school is the just the beginning of bigger and better things. For others, the hopes and dreams sparked that day just won't pan out. More...

Ignore university rankings

By Paul Axelrod. It’s that chilly time of year: The university ranking season is upon us. Around the world, academic administrators hold their breath, as the results flood in like a statistical tsunami. Some international surveys are already out, and Maclean’s magazine’s annual report card on Canadian universities will fly off the shelves this month.
Before you race out to see who stacks up, consider this: Rankings are endemically flawed. They have some entertainment value, they pander to our hunger for simple bromides, but they shouldn’t be used by families anxiously planning their children’s academic futures. More...

The times, they are (always) a-changin’

http://www.universityaffairs.ca/images/BlogSpeculativeDiction.jpgBy . Reading through the higher ed news over the weekend, I came across an item that began with the line, “The newspaper and book businesses have been transformed in recent years. But not education.” That illustrious beginning (as well as the rest of the article) points to a problem with coverage of higher education: the way the issue of change is addressed. Read more...

The “dream job”

http://www.universityaffairs.ca/images/Blog-phd-to-life.jpgBy Jennifer Polk - From PhD to Life. Last week a Twitter contact asked me, “Would you ever go back to academia if your dream job opened up?” We both knew he meant a university faculty position, tenure-track. We knew this because talk of a “dream job” is common among graduate students and PhDs on the academic job market. For me, now, the question was jarring because I don’t think about the academic job market at all these days, unless it’s to empathize and lament in solidarity with friends and colleagues. More...

Positively True

http://www.universityaffairs.ca/images/BlogCareersCafe.jpgBy . The power of positive thinking is just about as widely lauded as regular exercise and vitamin D supplementation.  Personally, I have mixed feelings about it (the power of mixed thinking?) that I’ll likely explore more in my next blog post. For now, though, I want to look a little more closely at where positive thinking is indeed useful.

Translating knowledge … in Interlingua!

http://www.universityaffairs.ca/images/BlogTheBlackHole.pngBy Jonathan Thon - The Black Hole. It should come as no surprise that I am a strong advocate of knowledge translation. While this has customarily meant making science accessible to persons that are not experts in one’s field of study but are otherwise important supporters of one’s work, translating research across language barriers even within a field is an equally important pursuit. Indeed, while most impactful scientific journals today are published in the English language, I shudder to think how much excellent science is being published in other languages to which I have absolutely no access.
