Universities, reflexivity and critique: Uneasy parallels in practice (2013)
Journal Article
May, T., & Perry, B. (2013). Universities, reflexivity and critique: Uneasy parallels in practice. Policy Futures in Education, 11(5), 505-514. https://doi.org/10.2304/pfie.2013.11.5.505

There are profound changes affecting universities. Under pressure from the forward march of neo-liberalism, there is a process of forgetting about the origins of the university and its distinctive place in society. Whilst responses by university mana... Read More about Universities, reflexivity and critique: Uneasy parallels in practice.

Assessing Risk and Guidance on Monitoring ofBatrachochytrium dendrobatidisin Europe through Identification of Taxonomic Selectivity of Infection (2013)
Journal Article

Amphibians are globally threatened, but not all species are affected equally by different threatening processes. This is true for the threat posed by the chytridiomycete fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis). We compiled a European data set for B....

As a result of the increase in natural disaster losses, policy-makers, practitioners, and members of the research community around the world are seeking effective and efficient means of overcoming or minimising them. Although various theoretical cons... Read More about Constructing a holistic approach to disaster risk reduction : the significance of focusing on vulnerability reduction.

Selecting sustainable drainage structures based on ecosystem service variables estimated by different stakeholder groups (2013)
Journal Article
Scholz, M., Uzomah, V., Almuktar, S., & Radet-Taligot, J. (2013). Selecting sustainable drainage structures based on ecosystem service variables estimated by different stakeholder groups. Water, 5(4), 1741-1759. https://doi.org/10.3390/w5041741

In times of recession, expert systems supporting environmental managers undergo a revival. However, the retrofitting of sustainable water structures is currently undertaken ad hoc using engineering experience supported by minimal formal guidance. The...
