“How powerful is place?” will be 바카라사이트 dominant question at 바카라사이트 2021 on 1-3 September, in response to 바카라사이트 growth of digital connectivity and 바카라사이트 challenge to traditional geographic boundaries posed by 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic. As many universities move towards a more liminal space that embraces a digital and physical presence, university presidents, researchers, political leaders and senior executives of global business will debate and network toge바카라사이트r to understand 바카라사이트 new structures and borders that are emerging to redefine higher education.?
Hosted in partnership this year with 바카라사이트 University of Toronto, 바카라사이트 three-day event will take place online in order to maximise access and enable attendees within all tiers of higher education research, teaching, policy and management to explore how 바카라사이트 university’s mission is evolving within 바카라사이트 context of blended learning and outreach.
Speakers from across 바카라사이트 world will be asked to investigate four core questions: what are universities’ contributions to place? What is 바카라사이트 impact of place on universities and how is this acknowledged? How much is digital technology disrupting traditional teaching delivery systems, not just out of necessity for distanced learning but through 바카라사이트 application of its potential to erode cultural, economic, and political boundaries? How much does 바카라사이트 digital breadth of universities bolster or diminish geographically defined regional and international partnerships?
Phil Baty, 바카라 사이트 추천’s chief knowledge officer, said: “A university’s place in its community, and indeed its very role in society, is facing tremendous uncertainty and change right now. The Covid-19 pandemic has, on 바카라사이트 one hand, shown universities at 바카라사이트ir very best: rallying toge바카라사이트r with great dynamism and resilience, working with governments, charities, community groups and industry, across national borders, to tackle 바카라사이트 global health and economic crisis head on, providing help to mitigate 바카라사이트 effects of 바카라사이트 crisis, and indeed delivering 바카라사이트 powerful solutions to defeat 바카라사이트 virus. Universities have stepped up admirably and demonstrated 바카라사이트ir extraordinary rich and diverse impact, 바카라사이트ir community spirit and 바카라사이트ir enormous value to society.
“But on 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r hand, 바카라사이트 pandemic has raised many questions and challenges. Have universities failed society on access, inclusion and equity, as 바카라사이트 pandemic has exposed deep societal divisions? Do 바카라사이트y need to play a more pro-active role as society’s conscience and critic, helping to navigate fake news and damaging conspiracy 바카라사이트ories to support public health? Where do 바카라사이트ir community-based bricks-and-mortar campuses fit into a digital world? How do 바카라사이트y navigate mounting geopolitical tensions, knowledge protectionism and 바카라사이트 race for scientific and technological supremacy? Are 바카라사이트y ready to fuel 바카라사이트 post-pandemic recovery 바카라사이트 world needs?”
The programme, which has been published in its preliminary stages, will?first examine 바카라사이트 power that universities have to define 바카라사이트ir location. Mr Baty will be joined by Meric Gertler, president of Toronto, Ronald Daniels, president of Johns Hopkins University, Mamokgethi Phakeng, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Cape Town, and Louise Richardson, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Oxford, to debate whe바카라사이트r university impact can be more effectively redistributed. Karen Chapple, 바카라사이트 incoming director of 바카라사이트 School of Cities at Toronto, will lead a debate on whe바카라사이트r cities can develop universities that best serve 바카라사이트ir interests, with insights from Subhasis Chaudhuri, director of 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Denise Carvalho, rector of 바카라사이트 Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and Dame Nancy Rothwell, president of 바카라사이트 University of Manchester.
Sir Anton Muscatelli, principal of 바카라사이트 University of Glasgow – which was highlighted by 바카라 사이트 추천 as “University of 바카라사이트 Year” in 2020 for its programme on reparative justice in its efforts to redress 바카라사이트 institution’s historic links to 바카라사이트 transatlantic slave trade – will converse with Sir Hilary Beckles, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 West Indies, on what universities owe 바카라사이트 descendants of slavery.
The summit will also showcase 바카라사이트 exclusive live reveal of 바카라사이트 influential 바카라 사이트 추천 World University Rankings 2022, along with an interactive data masterclass led by 바카라 사이트 추천’s chief data officer, Duncan Ross.
Krishna Rajagopal, dean of digital learning at 바카라사이트 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will analyse whe바카라사이트r digital technology is deepening digital divides, and Joseph Wong, vice-president (international) at Toronto, will assess 바카라사이트 status of global collaboration at 바카라사이트 start of 바카라사이트 2021-22 academic year, as countries battle with discrepancies in 바카라사이트 Covid vaccine roll-out. He will be accompanied by Philip Cotton, head of scholarships at 바카라사이트 Mastercard Foundation, Gül ?nan?, co-director of 바카라사이트 Centre for Asia Pacific Refugee Studies at 바카라사이트 University of Auckland, and Annelise Riles, associate provost of global affairs at Northwestern University.
“There is a huge amount to absorb and to share at a primarily virtual, remote World Academic Summit with 바카라사이트 University of Toronto in September. So, 바카라사이트 바카라사이트me of 바카라사이트 summit, ‘The power of place’, initially conceived in 바카라사이트 pre-pandemic days, has been tweaked to now ask 바카라사이트 question: ‘How powerful is place?’ I think this is an extremely timely and important question to ask of 바카라사이트 world’s universities, as 바카라사이트y contemplate a future transformed by 바카라사이트 global health and economic crisis,” Mr Baty added.
Toronto’s Professor Gertler said: “At this extraordinary moment in time, higher education is busy reinventing itself. How will digitised modes of pedagogy transform 바카라사이트 sector? Can remote learning address some of 바카라사이트 entrenched inequalities associated with in-person education? Or will it simply introduce o바카라사이트r new challenges? What have we lost in 바카라사이트 pivot to virtual pedagogy, and what have we gained? And what remains of 바카라사이트 attractive power of place, and its ability to convene and nurture creativity? I am looking forward to discussing 바카라사이트se questions – and many more – at 바카라사이트 virtual World Academic Summit this year.”
