Individual, institutional, and systemic factors contributing to academic research production: Comparing traditional and multilevel models
Academic research production is a complex process shaped by factors operating at individual, institutional, and systemic levels. This study examines the relative influence of nine individual-level variables (academic rank, having completed a postdoc, time dedicated to research, interest in research, national collaborations, international collaborations, institutional funding, national funding, and gender), two institutional-level variables (unive…
The Impact of International Academic Mobility on Research Collaboration and Production: Findings from the 2018 Apiks survey of Canadian Professors
Studying the gender gap in academic research production among Canadian university professors using the multilevel approach to gender inequalities framework
The gender gap in academic research production has been demonstrated through various methods and geographical contexts. Previous research has yielded conflicting results concerning the effect of gender as a stand-alone variable on research production and primarily focused on other individual and organizational variables to explain this gap. We seek to clarify the influence of gender-related variables on academic research production, operationaliz…
To Learn but Not Live Together? The Early History of the University of British Columbia’s International House
The University of British Columbia (UBC) opened Canada’s first International House (I-House) in 1959 after a decade of activism from students and faculty. Students had demanded an I-House to help them find housing, and to ensure that “brotherhood may prevail,” as the I-House motto promised. The I-House campaign received support from community groups that raised the funds to build the UBC I-House. UBC’s administration wanted I-House as a social ce…
Visualizing the Covid-19 pandemic response in Canadian higher education: An extended photo essay
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented shifts to higher education globally, including Canadian universities. In this paper I utilize an extended photo essay method and narrative response to document the changes seen in my local university environment during the months of April through September 2020. Emerging literature and survey results concerning the Canadian academic condition during the pandemic are discussed alongside research diar…

Nomadic political ontology and transnational academic mobility
Transnational academic mobility is often characterized in relation to terms such as ‘brain drain’, ‘brain gain’, or ‘brain circulation’ – terms that isolate researchers’ minds from their bodies, while saying nothing about their political identities as foreign nationals. In this paper, I explore the possibilities of a more ‘nomadic political ontology’, where the body is ‘multifunctional and complex, a transformer of flows and energies, affects, de…
Introduction: Education policy analysis for a complex world: poststructural possibilities
More than a decade ago, the topic of poststructural policy analysis in education formed the basis of a 2003 special issue for the Journal of Education Policy (JEP) (Volume 18, Number 2). While by n
Visual juxtaposition as qualitative inquiry in educational research
Visual juxtaposition is inquiry through contrast, facilitated by side-by-side positioning of two images, or images and text. When combined with a theoretical foundation that explores interactions between the material and discursive elements of visual data, juxtaposition creates opportunities for qualitative analysis that are not as readily apparent when individual images are considered. Analytic extensions of this practice are described as archiv…
Gender Gaps in North American Research Productivity: Examining Faculty Publication Rates in Mexico, Canada, and the U.S
The present study addresses gender gaps in North American research productivity, which may be influenced by personal and family variables, as well as professional and work-related variables. The study was conducted as part of the Changing Academic Profession (CAP) International Survey, conducted in 2007–08. Using articles as indicator of research productivity, we analyzed the gender gap in publication rates among full-time higher education facult…

Examining the Trilateral Networks of the Triple Helix: Intermediating Organizations and Academy-Industry-Government Relations
This article builds upon the concept of the trilateral networks of the triple-helix model in order to understand the role of organizations that operate in the spaces between institutions of higher education, industrial firms, and government agencies. Organizations situated in this interstitial space between public and private entities have been found to actively influence the formation of academy-industry-government relationships through the exch…
