🤓👀My new paper out in @GlobalNetwrks :"Ageing, migration infrastructure and multi‐generational care dynamics in transnational families". It follows a family of 3 generations and reveals the #injustice in #transnational family care behind #talentmobiliy https://t.co/9icZZAziQY

Glad to share my (OA)article 【#Education mobility at the cost of widening #gender gap? The silent women behind Pakistani male students’ success stories in China】#studychina #csc #pakistanistudent https://t.co/wdfTCj1Fdt

[Dr Eram Ashraf @eramash]

@MTUJane raises important concerns with gender-neutral assumptions in government scholarships, such as those given by the Chinese government to Pakistani students, as they ignore Pakistan’s existing gender disparity in education. #CPEC

“‘Ageing at Crossroads’ is an important contribution to the definition of ageing & its relationship with time & space...Furthermore, it is a collection of sincerely shared life stories of #hope, love & vulnerability,” notes @MTUJane.

I haven’t written academic English before I started my #phd program, while reading papers I also try to learn academic English (English is my L2) and save articles that I feel are great examples to learn from. Here is an abstract from @asta_haukas I have favorited.

In addition, we found the author is on the journal's editorial team + the paper was accepted within 4 months of its submission (including Christmas & New Year period!)

#AcademicTwitter What to do if a paper in a well-recognised journal basically copied your whole theorisation as if it was its own, including different conceptual dimensions of your framework and section headings/structure (A colleague just brought this to our attention)-in shock!

[Dr Mengwei Tu @MTUJane]

@eramash @SwanseaUni Thank you! It was a great lecture.

I'm absolutely thrilled to share that our agent book has now been published! This volume provides valuable insights into the #educationagent debate. The chapters are written by the editorial team as well as academics and industry leaders across the globe

[Prof. Anna Tarrant (she/her) @Profatarrant]

Low-income fathers and men who engage in caregiving across the family lifecourse are rarely considered. Fathering and Poverty develops multi-generational empirical insights into the diverse yet often overlooked ways men participate in family over time

[ethical research involving children @child_ethics]

We continue our focus on literature which considers the ethical implications of involving young children in research about digital childhoods. Our latest articles can be found here: https://t.co/i5loFaZqK9

This book came in the mail the other day! Doing qualitative research on Asia necessitates an awareness of cultural norms and expectations that are different than those in conventional research methods books (that are mostly from a Western perspective).

NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention.

At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem.

Let’s dig deeper:
