Latest Blogs

The Blog section facilitates scholarly reflections on timely topics. It also welcomes informed opinions and actively encourages practitioner and policy perspectives, including those with strong viewpoints. You can find three types of blogs:

  • “Research”: blogs based on recently published papers as well as working papers addressing timely topics.
  • “Education”: blogs related to teaching ideas, tips or issues.
  • “Impact and Engagement”: blogs through which members can share their perspectives on academic topics.

At the moment of preparing the blog, you may want to use one of the three categories to increase the visibility and access,

Moreover, an informal style is welcome and you may want to keep it within approximately 400 words.

Submissions to the Blog section are welcome at all times from EAA members. For further inquiry, you can contact Evisa Mitrou (e.mitrou@qmul.ac.uk).
