Conclusion to Building the Post-Pandemic University
No full textIn September 2022, Rectors, Presidents, and Vice-Chancellors assembled at the University of Bologna in Italy to sign the Magna Charta Universitatum (MCU 2020). This event was deeply symbolic for multiple reasons. The ceremony was the first public gathering of so many heads of universities since the Covid lockdowns. That it was at the University of Bologna, founded in 1088, cast the arc of time backwards as if to remind the world that this ancient institution had longer and deeper roots than the modern nation state. The Magna Charta itself, otherwise known as the Great Charta of Universities, is a short document that was ratified on the eve of the end of the Cold War in 1988, laying out the fundamental values and principles of the university, in particular institutional autonomy and academic freedom

Believing what you feel: Using proprioceptive feedback to reduce unilateral neglect
No full textUnilateral spatial neglect declines when participants reach to grip the center of long metal rods compared with when they point to the perceived center, suggesting that visuomotor control systems are less affected by neglect than other representational systems (I. H. Robertson, D. Nice, & B. Hood, 1995). In this study, 16 participants with unilateral left neglect actually picked up rods, and we predicted short-term improvements in neglect because of induced conflict between a phenomenally symmetrical visual world on the one hand and a proprioceptively conveyed rightward-biased world on the other. With participants serving as their own controls, significant short-term improvements in neglect were found on 2 out of 4 neglect tasks after participants experienced proprioceptive feedback discrepant from the judgments they made on the basis of visual information alone

Tweeting the Pandemic: Universities and Epistemic Leadership in Times of Crisis
No full textThe Covid-19 outbreak might be considered a watershed event which disrupted multiple timescapes on global scale. In a matter of weeks, citizens and well-established institutions found themselves struggling for survival in a radically transformed environment. Within this context, the present chapter proposes a data-driven reflection on how major UK universities managed their public outreach during the first six months of the pandemic. Through the analysis of their Twitter activity, this study describe how different communication strategies were employed by universities to reposition themselves in a context of crisis and how these strategies constructed different forms of leadership. Finally, the chapter argues that post-pandemic universities should design and implement long-term communicative strategies aimed at establishing themselves as major epistemic leaders

DENNIS ROBERTSON ON UTILITY AND WELFARE IN THE 1950s
No full textThe paper investigates Dennis Robertson's effort to defend the Cambridge utilitarian tradition against the so-called "new welfare economics" in the 1950s. Robertson's sustained and isolated endeavor to rescue Marshallian cardinal utility attracted the attention of economists at the time. According to Robertson, welfare economics should be based on cardinal utility, and the ordinalist revolution in the consumer and welfare theories should be rejected. It was only by sticking to the study of the economic or material aspects of welfare under the assumption of measurable utility that the economist would regain its ability to approach economic welfare as an objective of economic policy.
