When we talk about what makes a great leader, we tend to focus on confidence, decisiveness, and maybe even charisma. Less often do we talk about humility. And yet, humility, according to psychologist Dr. Simon Moss, may be the trait that unlocks the most growth, resilience, collaboration, and trust. In this episode, Dart and Simon talk about why humility isn't the opposite of confidence, how future clarity increases self-awareness, and how organizations can be structured to reward groundedness instead of ego.  Dr. Simon Moss is a psychologist and Dean of Graduate Research at the University of Wollongong. His research focuses on workplace behavior, ethical leadership, and the psychological conditions that promote wellbeing, performance, and integrity at work.In this episode, Dart and Simon discuss:- The difference between humility and insecurity- Why humble leaders often drive stronger performance- How clarity about the future shapes grounded leadership- The cultural conditions that reward narcissism- The relationship between time pressure and defensiveness- How to design humility into hiring, leadership, and culture- The mission of Radical Humility- And other topics…Dr. Simon Moss is a registered psychologist and the Dean of Graduate Research at the University of Wollongong.

Chloe Rout's (IG: @chloe.rout) interest in agriculture and the environment stemmed from helping her parents on the family farm in Gairdner, Western Australia. However, it wasn't until after she had begun her undergraduate degree at the University of Western Australia in 2019 that she decided to pursue a career in the industry. Specifically, Chloe saw a career in agriculture as a potential avenue to use the knowledge she'd learned during her environmental and agricultural science degree to help growers with some of the challenges her parents had faced while also better caring for the land.    In 2021 Chloe undertook a summer research internship with CSIRO, which focused on exploring the effect of temperature and moisture stress on canola germination. This experience led her to complete her Honours in Agricultural Science in 2022, which explored the compensatory ability of hybrid canola, with the aim of aiding growers with the decision of reseeding. More recently, Chloe had the opportunity to share her Honours research as a finalist in the Young Professionals in Agriculture Forum.  Currently, Chloe is a Graduate Research Agronomist with Living Farm in York WA, where she enjoys working with grower groups and continuing to explore the issue of canola establishment within Western Australian farming systems.  Don't forget to send us an email if you know of a story that we should tell at hello@generationag.com.au *Become a Patreon Partner* - https://patreon.com/generationag Find us here: Instagram: @generation.ag Twitter: @generation_ag Website: www.generationag.com.au

When do you plant winter wheat? There may be an ideal date that comes to mind based on where you farm, but the reality is there are plenty of factors that affect when you actually get the crop in the ground, like the previous crop in rotation and when you can get it harvested, weather, soil conditions, and more.

Last week's episode of “The Maine Question” explored the value of undergraduate research at UMaine, but graduate students also support the university and economy through their work. With the 2021 UMaine Student Symposium April 16 approaching, we shine a spotlight on the role and value of graduate education and research. The university welcomed a record 2,400 graduate students for the 2020–21 academic year. Research and enterprise from master's and Ph.D. candidates show no signs of slowing down. They continue to grow and evolve. We delve into some of the studies and projects occurring at UMaine, much of which will be on display at this year's symposium. Three graduate students discuss their work, and Scott Delcourt, associate vice president of graduate studies and senior associate dean of the Graduate School, describes how graduate research and creative work add to Maine's economy and pool of talented, young professionals.

Before arriving in Australia, Claire had established an international reputation in the field of PhD skills development with a particular focus on building collaborations within and beyond universities. This recognition stemmed from work embedding employability within the PhD structure at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, where she spent over 10 years supporting the development of researchers through training, experiential learning and employer engagement. In 2011, Claire led a university-wide project to create one of the world’s first parallel academic qualifications designed to empower research students in their employability - the PG Certificate in Researcher Professional Development. Strathclyde's innovative approach received national recognition at the Times Higher Education Awards in 2015, and Claire has presented this to universities globally, including in the UK, Belgium, Cyprus, Ireland, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand, who have since adopted or adapted the model locally.

Aloha nō kākou, I am Cameron and I am Leilani and we are Graduate Research assistants at Native Hawaiian Student Services also known NHSS. This is an initiative of the Lahui Hawaii Research Center, also known as LHRC, which is only made possible through NHSS. LHRC focuses on promoting and engaging in Oiwi scholarship from Hawaii and around the world. This has inspired us to create paakea podcast as a platform to engage and share Oiwi scholarship. One of our main goals for LHRC is to give voice to Oiwi scholars to establish that higher education is a part of Kanaka Oiwi intellectual genealogies. We decided to name our podcast paakea, after the original name for Dole Street which divides the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa campus, creating a landmark for students, faculty, and peoples residing in Hawaii. Sanford B. Dole was one of the main conspirators of the illegal overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani and it is in this light that we decided to name our podcast after the Hawaiian name of this street in order to establish that UHM and Hawaii are still residing within the Hawaiian Kingdom. Today, we have Dr. Rosie Alegado an assistant researcher at the Center for Microbial Oceanography. Come join us in listening to Dr. Alegado explore the past limitations and exciting new potentials of research and community engagement.

Language on mobility, settlement and governance with Professor Rita Wilson

During the course of the twentieth century global migration flows have grown exponentially. Massive socio-political changes in the late 1980s and early 1990s, notably the fall of the Berlin wall and collapse of the Soviet block, and later the 1989 Tiananmen massacre, all contributed to the increased international movement of people. And with major political events come epistemological consequences – how do we think about citizenship and belonging today? What role does language play when entering a new place and how does this impact employment, governance and social cohesion? Professor Rita Wilson, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Associate Dean of Graduate Research at Monash University, carries an extensive research background in literary and cultural studies, with a focus on exploring translation processes that are core to the shaping of literary history, communication and society. Professor Wilson’s research investigates the forces behind the movement of literary texts and people, from aesthetic, linguistic and stylistic elements to social, political and economic drivers. Her research brings to light the effects of today’s interaction between mobility, migration and translation. As part of our Arts Researchers podcast series, we spoke with Professor Wilson on a number of her research projects and the impact they have on informing better policies, settlement services, international governance and social cohesion. We also covered the global research networks, industry partnerships and opportunities for research students in this area at Monash – the only university in Australia that offers a practice-based PhD in Interpreting and Translation Studies.
