We're on the move! We were so pleased to receive the great news that University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) continues its ranking in the top 15% of public affairs programs nationwide. A few of the US News and World Report Public Affairs stats that we're most proud of... 📚 In the top 15% of programs nationwide, up 5 spots from last year at #34 (out of 270 programs across the country). 🌎 #6 in International Global Policy and Administration (up three spots from last year!) and the #1 program among public universities. 🏙 #16 in Urban Policy (up six spots from last year!). 📝 #31 in Public Policy Analysis (a new recognition for us this year!) Rankings are important, but what we're most proud of is that we're visible and we are engaged across the wide range of scholarly communities and organizations important to our fields. We are contributing knowledge on important research topics, learning with fellow colleagues about new pedagogies and curricula, and leading conversations about key issues facing our fields and schools like ours. Thanks to all of our students, staff, faculty, and alumni who are contributing to this work. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/ezDQuHdQ

In her essay in The Raised Hand: “Pursuing the Good Life in Community,” Janel Curry, President of the American Scientific Affiliation, discusses criticisms of higher education that elevate and emphasize individual scholarship and success, over and above the benefits of the communal pursuit of knowledge — a traditional focus of higher education. Read Dr. Curry’s essay, the fourth in our series addressing the question, “What has the university to do with the good life?” at https://bit.ly/TRHessay

Marking the day of my graduation as Georgia receives EU candidacy status! Completing my Master's at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in Media and Communications: Data and Society has been both nurturing and strengthening, making me ready and well equipped for what is to come. It was a priviledge to be afforded and encouraged, thanks to Chevening Awards to make time to work on myself, read, write, think, expand horizons along with most intelligent and diverse professors, peers, authors. But more importantly, to learn how to work independently, commit to my own research, be the toughest jugde of my work and build couage to own my voice. Writing my dissertation on the most personally pressing issue of an individual's social and political agency in the context of an increasingly digitized realm of communications, I feel fulfilled and accomplished. It is an honour to have been marked with a distinction by my academic guide, the leading figure in the field of media studies, Professor Nick Couldry, whose work-ethic has been inspirational. But most importantly, I am greateful for his insistance on pushing me beyond my limits, being demanding and encouraging me to develop my work from the broadest perspective. It is rare in this world to be encouraged to define yourself and thinking beyond where you're from and I have been lucky. And beyond the personal and intellectual, I couldn't have imagined how pertinent my knowledge and new skills would be to the field of public relations, increasingly transformed by the technological innovation and implementation of new data analytics tools to gain insigths and develop strategy. Developing my career in PR, I'm thrilled to learn from practice, and with caution and patiance, see the other side of the coin.
