Here's one of many highlights from the 2024 Alumni Summit on Free Expression in Washington, D.C. During one discussion, chapter staff shared their nuts-and-bolts experience bringing constructive change to their alma maters. If they can do it, you can do it, too. But it all starts by joining the Alumni Free Speech Alliance. https://lnkd.in/dvS3x_N4

I was so honored to deliver the Carmelo Mesa-Lago Keynote Lecture at the Latin American Social and Public Policy Conference last Friday at the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Drawing on my work on engaged research and public engagement practice, I shared insights on "The Power of Collective Knowledge in Social and Public Policy Research and Practice." While universities are organized around asking faculty, staff, and students to focus on and demonstrate what we know, an equally important focus should be on what we don't know, asking ourselves...Who knows? How can I connect with them? How can I respect them? How can I learn from and with them? How can we work together? There is incredible power in collective knowledge that engages the expertise held by communities, practitioners, and more. The complexity of our world and the challenges that we face ask us to work differently. We need ALL of the experts.

How can we re-imagine academic research as a space for care, collaboration, and inclusion? This new document, Centering Care in the Academic Research Enterprise, co-authored by EWU’s own Anna Frost, offers a roadmap for addressing inequities and embedding care into research practices. This aligns perfectly with EWU’s goals of enhancing grantsmanship and supporting researchers at every level. As we strive to build a culture where care and innovation coexist, I encourage everyone to explore this document and consider how we can implement these principles on our campus.
