Using a novel subnational-level dataset of Thailand, the results show a strong spatial association between poverty and educational attainment in Thailand. Provinces with more educated populations are more likely to have lower poverty incidence. In particular, the findings of this study suggest that attainment of tertiary education can…

Global challenges such as climate change and social inequality have heightened the emphasis on sustainability across various sectors, with higher education institutions (HEIs) playing a pivotal role in fostering sustainable practices. This systematic literature review assesses the evolution of sustainable hospitality education (SHE) research over…

Racial disparities in fatal police shootings (FPS) have been well-established in existing research, but less attention has been paid to patterns in fatal police encounters with youth. This study uses a multisource and externally validated research design to track cases of…

Many of our children continue to live in book deserts, neighborhoods bereft of reading materials. It is an educational problem that, at times, may seem unsolvable. In this article, my colleagues and I approach the problem from a perspective of a small win, a term first coined by organizational theorist Karl Weik. Small wins act like…

Purpose: Complex scientific problems, including those facing the discipline of communication sciences and disorders (CSD), require interdisciplinary teams of scientists who bring diverse perspectives, knowledge, and skills. According to a recent survey, team science is not yet widely practiced by CSD researchers. This viewpoint describes a current…

When evaluating environmental challenges such as vulnerability to natural hazards, it is important to consider both the physical exposure as well as the socio-demographic characteristics of a population. Human populations and their characteristics vary considerably over space and time. This paper introduces and evaluates an open-source resource…

Factors such as age, experience and environmental association play a significant role in each person's cognitive map. Yet, traditional spatial tasks remove these contextual elements in determining a person's spatial orientation skill, which has…

The existing research on community college faculty attrition has focused on such internal institutional factors as faculty work life and morale. Few studies have examined factors outside of an institution's control that may influence faculty attrition and no studies to date have examined such factors in a sample of rural-serving community college…

Research on quality assurance in higher education has been expanding globally; however, there is still scope for exploring the depth of diffusion to evaluate its impact. To this end, collaboration structures between countries and common concepts in scientific texts were examined in this study. The bibliographic mapping method was employed to…

Diasporic Indigenous students are increasingly present in K-12 classrooms in the United States, but a failure to identify their linguistic and cultural backgrounds accurately forces their absence from critical conversations regarding academic growth. This literature review highlights the invisibility that these students endure as false assumptions…
