Forget what you knew about citations. A new movement is on the rise amongst scholars. Dr. Carlos Campo and Dennis Monokroussos discuss the concept of citational justice, that is being aware of exactly who you integrate into your research. This hot topic begs the question, is this equitable or unnecessary? 

Dr. Carlos Campo and Dennis Monokroussos are joined by Dr. Judy Alston, graduate education courses professor at Ashland University, author, and activist to discuss the effects the Covid-19 pandemic had on optimism and rigor. Further, what has AU done to preserve the graduation and employment rate of their future educators in the College of Education?

What is the relationship between anti-racism and anti-capitalism? Campo and Monokroussos tackle these questions and other difficult topics in this episode of Watchers of the Skies. 

A widely discussed topic in higher education is the gender gap of students and graduates. According to statistics, 60% of college graduates are female and 40% are male. What is the cause?

Carlos and Dennis take on a monster. . . the monster of diversity of thought in higher education.

In this episode, Carlos and Dennis talk about the struggle of diversity of thought in higher ed and why it matters.  

It is no secret, having football, baseball, basketball and other sports at a university is not cheap. Some universities have incredibly large budgets for their programs. In this episode, Carlos and Dennis discuss the cost of sports in higher education. Should universities have sports programs?

Dr. Carlos Campo and his guest, Dennis, talk about the raising cost of higher education, why it keeps increasing, and how it affects those who desire to go to college.
