Quote by Esther Roberton: “When I discovered what principals earn, I was taken aback. […] I had a Chief Exec running a health board with nearly £2bn of a budget, 22.5 thousand staff, and he earned half of what some of our University Principals earn.

The Candidates' responses in the #DundeeUni “Chair of Court election hustings” gave interesting perspectives on the problems of #HEI and #Dundee in particular.

Picture of a comic cover with a a group of people looking at or in the rough direction of the viewer. They are diverse in many ways, e.g. clad differently, of different ages (although most looking young), different skin tones, at the front is someone with a wheelchair. Their picture seems to be a puzzle, with a big hand coming in and putting the last piece in the top right corner (showing the words "PGR Support"). The comic is titled "Wellbeing - Postgraduate Researcher Narratives", and branded "University of Dundee"

Good viewpoint on #DundeeUni & beyond. I quibble with one quote, though:

"As everyone knows, research funding simply does not cover the cost of the work it is supposed to support – universities have to cross-subsidise scientific endeavour [..]"

I don't think everyone knows that.

A quote from the special issue's editorial: This Special Section explores concepts of morality, responsibility, and agency in relation to psychoactive substances. Such substances have long been seen as especially potent things, ones thought to have the capacity to modify or overcome our own agency, especially in relation to ideas of addiction and intoxication but also ritual and healing. At times such substances even become personified, sometimes as trickster – like characters like John Barleycorn that can trick us into doing things we otherwise would not. Contrastingly, so-called ‘smart drugs’ like modafinil promise to make us ‘more-than-human’ through increasing our stamina and ability to focus, and have been taken up avidly by students seeking advantage in exams and coursework. Furthermore, practices such as microdosing psychedelics offer to broaden our horizons of perception and enhance our human capacities for creativity. These ideas of chemically altered agency and personhood pose questions about the nature of such substances and their markets, including the moral responsibilities of their producers, traders, regulators and consumers. Carrier & Ermansons (2024). Medicine Anthropology Theory, 11, 1-8.

Interesting presentation by Guntars Ermansons (KCL), Neil Carrier (Bristol), and Laura Roe ( #DundeeUni ) in our lunchtime webinar on the special section "Psychoactive Agents​: Drugs, Morality, and Responsibility" from #MedicineAnthropologyTheory last year:

Going beyond measuring symptoms: Constructs and approaches
Jan R. Boehnke, #DundeeUni

Measuring what matters: How do we know that we do? Panel at the 56th Int. Annual Meeting, Society for Psychotherapy Research The presentations in this panel explore two perspectives on the question which constructs could "matter" when measuring outcomes during and at the end of psychological therapies: (i) using conceptual as well as empirical approaches to identify content that captures relevant variation among patients; and (ii) by engaging with stakeholders (including and foremost patients) to identify which constructs provide meaningful or valued information in a given setting. The first presentation reports on a project that uses empirical methods to develop an ontology for depression measurement. An ontology is a formalised representation of domain knowledge, supporting the comparison and integration of the content of measurement tools. The second presentation focuses on using idiographic methods to identify core elements that matter quantitatively for individual PTSD patients and their trajectories, assimilating principles of clinical case formulations and theoretical models into empirical assessment. The third presentation switches the panel toward the question of meaningful measures. It discusses theoretical frameworks to assess psychotherapy outcomes beyond symptoms, and methods to find agreement on such outcomes. The final talk will present qualitative analyses based on the process evaluation embedded in a multi-centre trial, focusing on the context, mechanisms, and outcomes of the trialled intervention that are relevant for patients. All presentations are concerned with how we identify and measure outcomes that matter and they stress that this requires considering different voices, values, and evidence. Since the presentations cover different methodologies and application contexts, the panel encourages attendees to discuss what we perceive as "valid" assessments from this perspective. [titles of individual presentations follow in the posts below]

In a week's time #SPRKrakow2025 will be over already.
