A presentation I gave at the School of Public Health Education Day conference at Imperial College London on 15th June 2023. I proposed a collaborative inter-disciplinary initiative (GPS-HE) to reflexively examine the positionality of Imperial College as a powerful STEMM- and biomedical-focussed institution with explicitly global ambitions. Drawing from ethnographic principles and methods we should seek to understand the sociocultural and economic impacts of our global engagements – including the intended, unintended and the unimagined – from the perspectives and lived experiences of those potentially (and actually) affected. A set of ethnographic skills, grounded in core anthropological theoretical frameworks, should be integrated into policy-making and into our educational provision to equip graduates with the tools to critically and qualitatively examine the nature and extent of the local, regional and global impacts of change-making or problem-solving endeavours.

Engaging Generation Z: Integrating Global and Local Vision, Structure, and In...
How are universities responding to two recent paradigm shifts impacting global education? First, there is a generational change between millennials and the new cohort known as K or Z. While our current traditional undergraduates may be more anxious, skeptical, and know only smartphones, they also crave connection and are makers, creators, and inventors. (“Think millennials have it tough? For 'Generation K', life is even harsher.” The Guardian, March 19, 2016) The second shift is the increased fluidity between global and local interactions and groups. As classrooms continue to diversify with international and first-generation students, the university community – students, faculty, and staff – must obtain and demonstrate intercultural agility, curiosity, and empathy to navigate the complexities of the contemporary world. This session addresses how the University of St. Thomas has implemented into its administrative structure an innovative partnership between faculty from diverse disciplines and education abroad professionals to address the new realities of global and local engagement that respond to the world’s most pressing needs.

Human and social factors in transport
Presented by Dr Karen Lucas on 9th July 2014
http://www.its.leeds.ac.uk/people/k.lucas
Abstract:
Until now, human and social factors have not been very dominant aspects of transportation research. The general trend has been a biased towards more technical and engineering studies and transport economics. Nevertheless, there has been continuous social science research on the fringes of transport studies. For example behavioural psychology has been used in traffic safety risk management and human geography has been concerned with the interface between space, time, and mobility. There has also been a significant academic discourse around transport equity and the mobility and accessibility needs of transport disadvantaged groups, which has gathered momentum in recent years. More lately, sociologists and cultural geographers have begun to explore the embodied meanings and the cultural significance of different transport modes within our everyday social practices.
A number of scholars within the Institute of Transport Studies at Leeds have already forged important cross-disciplinary partnerships with other disciplines within and outside the University. In this lecture, I will explore the potential to further strengthen and exploit these new directions within transport research. I will briefly reflect on the opportunities for achieving this through mechanisms such as within the University’ core research themes, the new Social Science Strategy, other research University-wide supported initiatives and more informal collaborations. But more importantly I will be asking whether it is possible to use these inter-disciplinary collaborations to radicalise our research enquiries so that we are able to offer transformational solutions to overcome the currently environmentally unsustainable and socially unjust allocation of mobility resources within and between nations.

Preparing students for the unknown
Teaching and learning at universities has moved beyond traditional transfer of knowledge from the learned to the learning. In today’s rapidly evolving world, educators at higher education institutions are challenged with preparing students to succeed in jobs that don’t even exist today, in a world in which creativity and innovation are valued as much as knowledge.
What does it take to do this? What are the latest trends in teaching and learning at higher education institutions? Are they keeping up with the transformations taking place beyond campus boundaries? What are the strategies for broader adoption of effective teaching and learning practices across campus?
UCalgary's Vice-Provost of Teaching and Learning (Interim) Leslie Reid and Jay Cross, Director of the new College of Discovery, Creativity and Innovation in UCalgary's Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning, provide their expert knowledge on these and other related questions.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Global Positionality in STEMM Higher Education (GPS-HE)
- 1. GPS-HE Global Positionality in STEMM Higher Education Dr Mark Anderson m.anderson@imperial.ac.uk 15th June 2023
- 2. Our aim for our graduates is that they will: (2) Work effectively in multi-cultural, international teams and across disciplinary boundaries (4) Innovatively apply their skills to tackling complex real-world problems (5) Understand and value different cultures and perspectives …” (Imperial College London, 2017: 05)
- 3. “Imperial College London is a world-changing global powerhouse that is truly distinctive. We have tremendous strength and focus on business, engineering, medicine and science. We are known for innovation, entrepreneurship, impact and societal benefit; and we are based in London, one of the greatest cities in the world.” (Imperial College London, 2023).
- 4. • What are the dominant discourses and assumptions underpinning STEMM education internationally? • Who do these discourses serve and how? • What are the existing power dynamics within and around STEMM, and how does STEMM education reproduce and perpetuate and impose these dynamics? • What opportunities exist or could be created within programme curricula at Imperial to integrate a reflexive awareness of Imperial’s global positionality and its implications? Key questions:
- 5. • Create a community and resource hub to collate, integrate and share ideas, experiences and expertise in this space. • Foster interdisciplinary, inter-institutional and cross-cultural collaboration and partnership to explore lived experiences, perspectives and impacts of STEMM-based initiatives on communities – drawing from ethnographic approaches, principles and methods. GPS-HE – a collaborative project between CHERS and School of Public Health with a goal for wider collaboration across College Goals:
- 6. • Develop a ‘centre’ for education, training and research in culturally reflexive approaches to global challenges that could be integrated into programme curricula. • Seek opportunities to contribute to, and help shape, institutional, academic and educational policies. • Enhance the profile of Imperial as a culturally reflexive and responsible agent of collaborative change.
