Universities and colleges need better, more easily accessible and culturally competent mental health services targeted to the needs of international students.

If the academy truly desires greater representation in its ranks, it would provide robust postdoctoral support and dismantle the exploitative adjunct system.

While there is no doubt that the Ukraine crisis benefits from expertise in fields like political science and economics, many journalists and public commentators have been using skills or discussing subjects associated with the humanities.

One thing we are hopeful about is that as a result of the pandemic, our pedagogy will have to become more flexible and dynamic.

The full extent of the damage on scholars and research will not be known for some time, but predictions are grim.

Universities are the backbone of our society, strengthening collective identity in all regions and reinforcing the hope for a better future in the minds of our fellow citizens.

We need to use research to identify and implement the most effective ways to support student writing development.

While celebrating the achievements of Black colleagues is important, we need to acknowledge that it can also be exhausting and even harmful.

The results of a recent study suggest it hasn’t worked for Newfoundland and Labrador.

Researchers in a survey said they don’t want to delay their tenure review but have the criteria for it shift.

The higher education community must act as a guiding light as we return to more in-person activities.

How do we manage academic freedom, which should be unhindered, unrestricted and inviolable?

On a recent tour of the European country’s universities and research institutes, we met North American academics who were drawn to much more than the apple strudel, wiener schnitzel and fine chocolate.

Instead of relying on a ‘technological fix,’ we need to ask what drives students to cheat in the first place.
