Introduction from Griffith College President

Professor

DIARMUID HEGARTY Griffith College recognises the importance of motivating increased research by our academic staff and the need to cultivate a research culture within the College. Having identified research, development and innovation as one of its key strategic objectives in 2012, the subsequent establishment of the Research Committee was a vital step in developing our research strategy. The monthly Research meetings continue and I commend those involved with this project and the additional research initiatives undertaken. These include hosting a successful Research Seminar in March 2016 whereby a panel of recent PhD and Doctoral Research Graduates, chaired by Dr Jane Carrigan, shared their research experience with other academics in the College, offering them an opportunity to learn from the panels’ research journeys. In addition, both the Centre for Promoting Academic Excellence and the Journalism & Media Faculty were supported in implementing a Faculty Ethical Approval Committee. The launch of the College’s second Research Booklet at this year’s Research Showcase Event, identifies exciting research activity across the College. This promotion of research activities will raise awareness within the College community and promote best practice and critical dialogue. Some imminent projects planned for the next academic year include, the introduction of a college postgraduate and research centre (at the back of the library) and the launch of both the working paper series led by Dr Niall Meehan and a college Ethics Committee in September. Additionally, the College repository will commence population with postgraduate research at a high standard.. Building on solid foundations, a strong and supportive research culture will bring benefits to many of our stakeholders including lecturers, faculties, and, most importantly, our learners. As well as developing a research culture we must continue to disseminate the research within Griffith College and beyond. This second edition of our Research booklet documents the progress of this vital function at Griffith College.

Research Committee TERMS OF REFERENCE RESEARCH COMMITTEE The Research Committee seeks to contribute to and develop the current research strategy of Griffith College. The committee recognises the importance of motivating increased research activity among its academic staff as a necessary first step to developing a research culture and to building a research environment. Research is understood by the committee to refer to research productivity (journal articles; books or contributions to books; publications; presentations at conferences; PhD/doctorate research), including the writing, interpretation and dissemination of research within and beyond the academic community; the organising of conferences; the generating of research income; and enabling staff and supporting students in becoming members of the college’s research community.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The objective of the Research Committee is to: G Document what research is currently being undertaken. G Acknowledge / celebrate what is being done. G Determine how the College could support its further growth. G Establish and implement specific plans in order to facilitate research.

MEETINGS AND ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS In-person meetings will be held at minimum every two months and more often as required. The Chairperson will nominate a person to act as Secretary who will circulate the agenda at least three working days before meetings, record the minutes, and circulate them within five days of the meeting.

AUTHORITY MEMBERSHIP The committee is appointed by the College’s Management Board and consists of representatives from the College’s departments and functions. Other members of staff may be co-opted to assist the working of the committee in the light of their particular research expertise.

The committee is charged with recommending considered proposals to the College’s Management Board for ultimate approval.

REPORTING PROCEDURES Minutes of meetings, along with supporting documentation relating to the committee will be held on a 'shared' drive and made available to the Management Board and the Academic & Professional Council and others for whom proposals are likely to be of direct interest and impact.

COMMENCEMENT AND REVIEW The Research Committee has been in effect since 1st January 2014 and the College’s Management Board will review the operation, composition and effectiveness of the committee at least annually or when it deems necessary.

Getting involved in

Research WANT TO RESEARCH BUT DON’T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN? READ ON… BEGINNING TO RESEARCH CAN SEEM DAUNTING AT FIRST BUT HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO GET STARTED. DECIDE WHAT TO RESEARCH Not sure what to research? Think about what you do in your day to day work and whether an aspect of it could be researched academically. It could be an aspect of your teaching, learning and assessment strategy (see section on ICEP for more on same, page 9). Or perhaps it might be on something you are interested in pursuing within your own area of specialism/discipline. Whatever it is be sure it is something that interests you as you will need this to sustain and energise your research. Also, consider how this topic might add to the conversation already out there in the area.

CREATE TIME AND SPACE FOR RESEARCH Carving out the time and space to do research is one of the biggest challenges for all researchers. Sometimes there are just so many other things that seem to take priority. The colleges recognise this, and in an effort to be more supportive, have undertaken to provide a ‘research space’. This research space will be in the old reading room at the back of the library and will be a relaxing space where the layout and resources will hopefully provide a stimulating and quiet place to progress our research and writing.

MEET, SUPPORT AND SHARE IDEAS WITH OTHERS WHO ARE RESEARCH ACTIVE Discussing research with others who are research active can help de-mystify the process. This booklet can be used to see what types of research our colleagues are doing and find common research interests. Working with others on a research project can also be a fabulously rewarding way to research and learn, and can help share the workload too. In addition, there are a number of research initiatives run by the College Research Committee that can be used as tools to trigger research reflection and discussion. For example our monthly Research Group provides a space to discuss your research goals and to meet and support others engaging in research. The Research Seminar series offers a chance to hear what our colleagues are researching and to learn from their experience. We will shortly have a working paper series where you can submit initial research writing to an internal review panel for feedback.

Recent Griffith College Research Initiatives MONTHLY RESEARCH GROUP MEETING First Friday in every month (Sept – Dec; Feb – May) 8.30am – 9.30am in Arthurs Bar.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON

ENGAGING PEDAGOGY Members of Griffith College lecturing team founded the International Conference for Engaging Pedagogy in 2008. The inaugural conference was held in Griffith College and has since been hosted by University College Dublin; Maynooth University, Dublin; the Institute of Technology, Blanchardstown; National College of Ireland; Institute of Technology, Sligo; College of Computing Technology; and Athlone Institute of Technology. This year, once again, ICEP 2016 will be hosted by Maynooth University. We hope to bring ICEP 2017 back to Griffith for the tenth anniversary. This annual event brings together researchers and practitioners in the field of higher education in order to discuss means and methods of improving student engagement in learning. The conference format includes standard paper and poster presentations intermingled with workshops and panel style discussions. 2016 is the ninth year of the ICEP conference series, its aim is to further discussion and collaboration amongst researchers and practitioners in third level teaching and learning. For lecturing staff in Griffith, the ICEP conference is a fantastic way of using research to inform our teaching, learning and assessment; and of presenting or showcasing this to the wider academic community. The annual call for papers will be out in early May with a paper submission date of mid-October. If you are interested in using ICEP to progress some research into your teaching, learning and assessment, and would like some support or guidance please contact Dr Fiona O’Riordan - fiona.oriordan@griffith.ie

E-Portfolio as a

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TOOL Robert McKenna HEAD LIBRARIAN As lecturers we have become very conscious of citation in particular through Google Scholar. More recently scholars have been seeking recognition of the “Altmetrics” – mentions on Twitter or other social networks, or the news – in their professional development and recognition. In the UK the Research Excellence Framework recognises research impact in media, public debate, and policy as hugely important research outcomes rather than just academic literature and citations. It is clear that the idea of a scholar, researcher, and practitioner in the 21st century is undergoing change. We are helping our learners navigate the entry into the work world where digital traces of our identities, activities, and past are findable and storable by potential employers, clients, and colleagues. We are making efforts to improve the employability of our learners, how are we enhancing our own profiles? Some effort should be made to curate our digital identity and having a central repository for ourselves on the web is a good step, our best foot forward.

In the field of education and professional development an ePortfolio has long been recognised as a tool for reflection, collation, and enhancement of professional profile. The National Forum recently sought consultation on ePortfolio practice in Ireland and will be providing guidelines later in the year but the elements are known. We can use an ePortfolio as a repository of our professional practice, particularly when the work doesn’t lead to publication. We can capture other activities such as media engagements, speaking engagements elsewhere, or responses and submissions we have made to bodies. Some of these may be on the web and indexed but the collation into one place assists our curation of our digital identity. In Griffith we typically support the use of Wordpress for this ePortfolio but the beauty is that once you have a practice of collecting your content different views may be constructed for individual purposes e.g. teaching awards or research and collaboration proposals.

Dr Fiona O’Riordan BABS; MBS; M.Ed; Ed.D My very first teaching experience in higher education was exhilarating. I knew immediately education was where I wanted to be. Since then my focus has always been on exploring ways to better engage learners. Initially, I taught undergraduate and postgraduate business students. But such was my interest in all things pedagogical that I moved into an educational development role in Griffith College. Now, as Head of the Centre for Promoting Academic Excellence in Griffith, providing support for lecturers is at the heart of everything I do. I argue that education is a powerful tool. It can offer transformative potential for learners, educators, the economy and wider society. We, as educators, are privileged to be entrusted with responsibility for the learner’s journey while they are with us. Thus, my research areas include engaging pedagogy – the subject of my M.Ed; internationalisation of higher education; and the voice of educators. More recently, my doctoral research area investigated curriculum development practice and discourse in higher

education. My research addresses a gap in the current space of curriculum development by using discourse analysis as a methodology to help build capacity and stimulate greater curriculum discourse. I am a founding member and current conference Chair for the International Conference for Engaging Pedagogy (ICEP); Co-Chair of EDIN (Educational Developers in Ireland Network); Associate Member of the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education; HECA (Higher Education Colleges Association) Teaching and Learning Committee member; and an EdTech 2016 reviewer. I regularly contribute to external workshops and conferences. In addition I have sat on numerous external programme validation panels over the recent two years, as a teaching and learning expert. These roles offer many valuable collaborative research opportunities for myself and the wider teaching and research community in Griffith College.

Jacqueline (Jacqui) Tracey MBS; PGCTL; PGCRM; PhD candidate I first became interested in the area of diversity while working in Fáilte Ireland (CERT). During this time the Department of Tourism in Ireland, became involved in a European Union initiative to train hospitality students from Poland. This training was carried out in Fáilte Ireland. The main premise was to provide hospitality training for the students, prepare them for work placement in Ireland, with the view that on completion of this training they would return to their own country, with the much needed skills and knowledge for a burgeoning tourism industry in Poland. Having experienced and interacted with these students, I discovered that despite that fact that many of them held qualifications up to and including masters, they were not considered as valuable assets to the Irish companies in which they were working, they were valued only for their labour. The value of their qualifications and knowledge were largely ignored. Following on from this experience, I decided to investigate some of these issues in my master’s thesis, focusing on managing diversity in the hospitality and tourism industry in Ireland. Two years ago, I commenced my PhD studies with two Universities one in Scotland and the other in Germany. My thesis is placed within the areas of Human Resource Management and Entrepreneurship. Continuing my interest in the

area of diversity, my PhD research is based within Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) examining diversity and entrepreneurship, linking with a concept known as Absorptive Capacity, taking an Institutional Intrapreneurship perspective. In the last year I have started to share my research through preparing and delivering papers for conferences. In November 2015, I presented at the RENTS conference in Croatia, and recently my research papers were accepted by EURAM, European Academy of Management 2016 (Paris, May 2016) and Uddevalla, 2016, (London, June, 2016), following the presentation these papers, I will be forwarding the Uddevalla paper for publication. I know my PhD research is at an early stage, and I know there will be many twists and turns along the way, but it is with the support of my colleagues in the research committee and the wider Griffith Community that I will eventually reach my PhD goal. I am in a very fortunate position as a Griffith College lecturer that I lecture in the two subject areas that have the closest links to my research, Human Resource Management and Entrepreneurship. I like to think that not only am I benefitting from the research I am carrying out, but that my students are also benefitting.

Jamie Meehan B.Bs; MBS; CTE; Ph.D Researcher I love to teach and help my students improve their own learning development. I believe in their infinite potential to learn and grow as individuals. My students are my top priority when practising education. I try to convey this to them in my methods of teaching and the time I devote to teaching through traditional lecturers and tutorials, guest speakers, online resources, change in environment settings (classroom to computer room), games, presentations, case study analyses, and student-led discussions. I believe that learning should be seen as an active and engaging, rather than a passive, didactic process. I engage in a lot of activities such as; guest lecturing, researching, academic tutoring, invigilation and student support. Certainly, the idea of ‘Giving Something Back’ is imperative to me. Undoubtedly, it is extremely important to me that I am actively engaged in the start-up scene and as a result, I have worked with a new start-up firm in Limerick for over two years, promoting and marketing their business. Events that promote, foster and nurture new start-ups, entrepreneurial

blood and generate new jobs are fundamental to creating change. Recently, I curated Ireland’s Startup Manifesto Policy Tracker http://www.europeandigitalforum.eu/startupmanifest-policy-tracker/country/ie I am also Digital Marketing Manager and Secretary of INTRE (Ireland’s Network of Teachers and Researchers in Entrepreneurship) which will be rolling out fundamental research events in the future. My own research is on ‘What Models of Business Clusters (BC’s) and Business Incubators (BI’s) can be Combined to Improve Regional Economic Strategy (RES)’. This research study will aim to contribute to existing literature through the development of a unique framework(s) that captivates critical business cluster and business incubator models that improve regional economic strategy. It is important to examine models of business clusters and business incubators in order to identify which combination works best to enable the fruition of effective regional economic strategy that leads to potential growth. Lobbying government regional and national policy has to be a unique strategic objective of this study.

Barry Finnegan MAIR Back in 1997 I was working as a magazine production manager and journalist focused on environmental and global justice issues. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) was then trying to get counties to adopt the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI). This free investment and trade deal would have subjected the world’s Western democratic, capitalist states to an Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) arbitration mechanism. Foreign private companies could sue sovereign states, in private, in front of a panel of for-profit arbitrators, for financial compensation for future unearned profit when they felt their profits were negatively impacted by state law, regulations or licencing arrangements. Great democratic gains of the 20th century: environmental, health and safety, and workers’ rights legislation, were to be deemed ‘unnecessarily restrictive barriers to trade’. The entire deal was torpedoed by the French parliament who refused to even discuss it. It was then I realised that certain lobbyists and politicians wished to use a series of forthcoming European Union treaties, in order to move ratification of international trade agreements like the MAI, out of the hands of member state

national parliaments and into the hands of the unelected, EU Council and Commission. These and other avenues of research led me to complete the MA in International Relations in DCU, and to take up a lecturing position at Griffith, which I enjoy very much and am now half way though my MA in Education & Training. I am now Programme Director and Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Journalism & Media Communications in Griffith College. In a voluntary capacity, I am a researcher with ATTAC (Ireland), a co-facilitator with the TTIP Information Network, and a member of the Steering Group of Headline. Over the past 12 years my research on European Union international trade policy and civil society organisations’ responses to it has led to presentations before Oireachtas and civil service committees, regular appearances on Newstalk national radio, numerous and regular presentations at public meetings and debates around the country, as well as presentations at seminars and colloquiums at Trinity College, NUI Maynooth and Queens

Dr Waseem Akhtar BSc, MSc, PhD I am an educator, and a learner, as well as a researcher in the fields of computing science, and higher education management. I am intrigued by multidisciplinary research where computing science concepts and techniques are developed and applied for evidence based management and improved effectiveness in HEIs. I have been working in higher education for the past fifteen years. I joined the faculty of computing science in Griffith College as a lecturer and then as Programme Director in 2007. I completed my PhD in computing science from University College Dublin in 2007, and took the position of Head of Computing Faculty in Griffith College in 2010. Moving into the realm of managing people, processes and resources proved to be an interesting endeavour and I became extremely interested in developing and implementing optimum processes to manage all aspects of the faculty to improve its effectiveness at the operational level, and also at tactical and strategic levels. This led me to start researching higher education management, on my own and then by joining a

relevant programme at the University College London. As part of this I have studied a wide range of Management topics. Although my natural curiosity has always been useful while researching; this has never been limited to my main areas of research. I have always been fascinated by other “bigger” questions about our existence, and consciousness. I am intrigued by our history, and future as a civilisation, about the universe, its origin, its structure and its ultimate fate, and about the way we live and learn, and manage our lives. This led to the founding of “Bridging the Gaps - A Portal for Curious Minds”. At Bridging the Gaps I invite researchers, explorers and thought leaders from around the world and ask these big questions. We aim to have thorough discussions that are enlightening and educational, academic, and based on original and cutting-edge research. Some of the work done as part of Bridging the Gaps initiative has led to the development of “Self Assessment Based Career Development and Management” idea. I regularly run seminars and workshops on this scientific approach towards effective career development and management.

Dr Susan Power A.V.C.M., B.C.L., Ph.D. In 1963, in his letter from Birmingham City Jail, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed”. King’s letter was an appeal to non-violent resistance to end racial oppression. He argued that there was a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws noting that unjust laws are ones, which “degrade human personality”.

Exploiting Oil and Gas in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. In 2014 and 2015 I presented this research at side-panels at the United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights.

It is King’s appeal to us all to distinguish between just and unjust laws and fight injustice through non-violent resistance, which has heavily influenced my own research objectives. It is not enough to research in an academic vacuum, the purpose to which the research is directed is just as, if not more important.

Laws passed by the military occupant to deprive the occupied population of their natural and national economic resources are effectively unjust laws, which “degrade human personality”.

In 2013, I joined Al-Haq, an independent Palestinian NGO based in the West Bank, Ramallah as an adjunct legal researcher. Al-Haq has special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. In 2015, drawing on the expertise from my PhD research, I completed a comprehensive report on oil and gas resources in the OPT – Annexing Energy: Preventing the Development and

It is important that the demand for freedom includes building peace through justice by making use of any available justice mechanisms, including through universal jurisdiction and the international courts.

This is similarly the case for exploitative provisions contained in so-called peace agreements. This research, “Rethinking the Elements of Crimes to Prosecute Systematic Economic Exploitation of Occupied Territory at the International Criminal Court” is essentially an address to the international legal community on the legal position of prosecuting systematic public and corporate pillage at the International Criminal Court. The demand for justice for all international crimes is a demand for the freedom of the oppressed, without this there can be no peace.

Colman Boyd B.Comm (NUI); MBS I undertook my first major research in 1991 for my dissertation in the Master of Business SEudies “The High Rate of Strikes over Dismissal in US Multinational Companies in Ireland.” The premise was that US MNCs in Ireland were transferring the employment-at-will culture of the US, implementing practices at odds with unfair dismissal legislation in Ireland. I used case studies of US MNCs in Ireland that had a relatively high number of strikes on the issue of dismissal and structured interviews with HR managers and employee representatives in the companies to explore the reasons for the disputes on the issue of dismissals. My findings were that, in contrast to my premise, US MNCs had converged on local procedures and legislation. I found a positive industrial relations climate and the companies were at the high end for pay and conditions. Most strikes in Ireland were on pay and conditions and US MNCs had a lower rate of strikes than others. The concentration on dismissal was mainly due to a very low rate of strikes over pay and conditions.

In later years, I returned to UCD to complete a B.A. in History because of my interest in the field. Later, I started a PhD in the area of US history and politics. I specialised in the interaction of US domestic politics and the Vietnam War during the 1960s. The title is “Hawk, Dove or Chicken: Robert Kennedy and the Vietnam War, 1964-1968.” I have completed the first draft and following a successful viva, am amending the draft. My primary research involved studying at libraries and archives in Boston, Austin, and Washington reading primary documents, national security files, and hundreds of hours of recordings, phone conversations, transcripts, and oral histories from after Robert Kennedy’s death in 1968. I also conducted a number of personal interviews with figures closely associated with Robert Kennedy. These included Senate aides and speechwriter Adam Walinsky and Peter Edelman, press secretary Frank Mankiewicz, special White House aide and speechwriter Theodore Sorensen, and anti-war activist Tom Hayden.
