Faculty social support needs amid crisis
Combined with mindful leadership practices, social support has the potential to enhance job performance, alleviate stress, sustain quality relationships, decrease employee turnover, effect change, and transform workplace culture. Using House’s social support framework and McNamara’s leadership model, this phenomenological case study explored faculty perceptions of the social support they need to persist and continue to teach amid political instab…

In order to redefine the university-society relationship, African universities aspire to forge new partnerships with local, national, regional, and international actors. Employing a critical review of the literature and an analysis of the strategic plans of regional African organisations and African universities, this study explores the challenges and opportunities of creating strategic university–society partnerships in Africa. Against a backdro…
Regional intergovernmental organizations in the Global South
Regional Intergovernmental Organizations (RIGOs) play unclear roles in education policy making and transfer. Much comparative education scholarship on the topic focuses on exploring the interplay between global and local/national actors in education policy, overlooking regional dimensions. To deepen our understanding, we analyzed the strategic plans of four RIGOs in Africa, the Arab and Islamic worlds, and Southeast Asia. Qualitative policy analy…
