  1. The 2023 United Nations Secretary-General Annual Report on Children and Armed Conflict estimates a staggering '112% increase in attacks on schools and hospitals, in particular in #Ukraine, #BurkinaFaso, #Israel and the State of #Palestine, #Myanmar, #Mali and #Afghanistan.'

    This is against international humanitarian law.

  2. On this #InternationalDayofEducation we must reckon with the state of the world for children denied, and schools and educational institutions targeted in conflict.

    Globally, a quarter of a billion (224 million) children have had their education disrupted due to crisis, and 72 million children are out of school.

  3. Excited to be part of the Working Group on Learning Loss, a collaboration between The Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Commission for UNESCO.

    The aim is to produce the first Canada-wide analysis on the effects of the pandemic on learning.

    Early days still, but looking forward to this important work.

    Lay person here - you may want to inquire whether immunotherapy is a possible treatment option for neuroblastoma, and if so, whether there any immunotherapy trials that can be considered for enrolment.

  5. It was pure joy to be back in #Oxford - the first time in four years - for the #UKFIET Conference.

    I spoke on the need for epistemic humility as we move forward to question accepted knowledges, and asked the question, ‘Why is epistemic humility provocative?’

    My ideas stem from my paper for the #UNESCO Education and Research Foresight Working Paper Series and on work I am continuing with #NORRAG now.

  6. Verbose, with a well-known penchant for telling detailed stories, the White Rabbit saunters over to a curious Alice engaging her in a nice long chat. Dawn becomes dusk. He chauffeurs her in his vintage pink Cadillac to an exclusive dinner club, arriving well before the rest of their party to enjoy evening cocktails.

  10. What Does the Historic Settlement Won by Henrietta Lacks’s Family Mean for Others?

    'In the Lacks case, the family’s lawyers argued that doctors’ failure to ask her permission to use her cancer cells reflected deep-seated racism then pervasive in human research. “The racial inequity which was so eloquently argued in the complaint … really I think carried the day,” Andrews says.'

  12. @cloudmcfluff I taught a #PhD class on #Education #Resarch paradigms and methods where the students created a game on social capital (Bourdieu not Putnam). It was pretty amazing to see.

  13. New #DataViz by the World Bank #SDG Atlas showing the effects of #COVD on #Education globally.

    As expected, higher-income countries fared relatively better, and within country, higher-income households had relatively more continued access via online and other supports.

  14. Are there any established hashtags for development #economics or economics of #education?

    I'd like to start #DevEcon and #EdEcon but not sure if there would be any takers.

  15. @academicchatter I urge researchers based in #Canada to reply to this survey from the tri-council funding agencies.

    My two cents: most researchers want their #Research to be #OpenAccess and publicly available but there is a severe shortage of funds to cover APC charges by journals. Many institutions do not provide funding for this and there is very little external funding to support it - even from the funding councils - including #SSHRC.
