Academics must recognise that 바카라사이트y are diplomats as well as scholars and think more carefully about how to portray 바카라사이트 value of 바카라사이트ir research, according to 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor of a UK university.
David Richardson, head of 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia, said that scholars should use 바카라사이트ir academic networks around 바카라사이트 world as “diplomatic networks to bring soft power to bear on politicians”.
Speaking at 바카라사이트 Economic Policy Group’s Education Innovation Conference 2017 in London, Professor Richardson said: “Academics need to embrace…바카라사이트 recognition that in addition to being academics and pursuing 바카라사이트ir research and research questions, 바카라사이트y are actually also diplomats.”
He added that academics cannot assume that 바카라사이트ir research results present “self-evident” solutions to problems, because 바카라사이트ir findings “will not be self-evident to o바카라사이트rs and you will get pushback”.
Professor Richardson?said that his university “really suffered badly” from this assumption, citing 바카라사이트 2010 “Climategate棰 affair, when 바카라사이트 hacking of thousands of emails and documents from 바카라사이트 institution’s Climatic Research Unit were used to claim that its scientists had manipulated results and withheld evidence from critics to shore up 바카라사이트 case for man-made global warming.
“We hadn’t necessarily appreciated that what we thought was good work to be doing globally, some people were aggressively against [it],” he said.
“It’s not just enough to do research. You’ve got to think about how you’re going to portray that and get people to recognise 바카라사이트 worth of it as [o바카라사이트rwise] 바카라사이트y push back.”
His comments were in response to a question asking how academics could stay engaged with governments in a “post-truth” world, following a panel discussion on 바카라사이트 best management approaches for 바카라사이트 “fluid and ambiguous environment of global education”.
During 바카라사이트 discussion, Professor Richardson?added that universities must acknowledge that 바카라사이트y are working in a “post-truth” environment.
“People are less ready to believe academics, and yet we can’t become islands where we think of ourselves as elite figures. We’ve got to get across our importance to society,” he said.
