IIHEd organises events
The International Institute for Higher Education Research & Capacity Building (IIHEd) of JGU hosted a two-day workshop titled 'From Reflection to Action' at the Melbourne Global Centre (MGC) Delhi on November 19 and 20. Led by Prof. Nira Rahman, Prof. Callum Reid, and Prof. Mousumi Mukherjee, the workshop equipped educators across disciplines with tools to teach with presence, intentionality, and relational trust. This initiative aligns closely with the goals of the Melbourne Global Centre and IIHEd by strengthening engagement and education activities that open pathways for sustained research collaboration and institutional partnerships around teaching and learning.
On November 18, the Centre for Comparative and Global Education (CCGE) of IIHEd welcomed Dr. Nira Rahman, Lecturer in Educational Design and Student Engagement at Arts Teaching Innovation at the University of Melbourne, for a Visiting Scholar's Research Seminar titled 'SoTL as Self and Society'. This seminar provided a deeper understanding of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), an area of research that remains largely unexplored.
On November 27 and 28, the Centre for Comparative and Global Education of IIHEd organised a two-day workshop, 'Building a Scholarly Identity: Research Development, Publication Strategies, and Academic Careers', in collaboration with the Office of Doctoral Studies, JGU, at the university campus. The workshop was facilitated by Dr. Rashida Banerjee of University of Denver, USA, and focused on strategies for research development and academic career advancement.
IIHEd faculty and doctoral scholars participated in the First India Higher Education Research Network Conference held on November 21 and 22 at IIT Delhi. Professor (Dr.) Mousumi Mukherjee, Deputy Director of IIHEd, served as a member of the organising committee and IIHEd's doctoral programme alumna, Dr. Gauri Khanna, played the role of conference manager.
