CLEVELAND, Ohio (October 20, 2026)—Volumes of research have been conducted to better understand how women experience menopause and deal with symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, sleep difficulty, and low libido.

Higher education institutions attract international students to Finland, while politics and the labor market push them out – students face conflicting pressures

University of Eastern Finland
Peer-Reviewed Publication

University students coming to Finland from outside the EU expect to receive education that serves as a bridge to meaningful work and to a better standard of living and a better life. The expectations are intertwined with neo-liberal ideals of a “good immigrant” who studies and works. The expectations both support students and appear as dehumanising demands to work more, better and harder while the life imagined keeps slipping further away.

Japanese philosophy offers a new perspective on education

Doshisha University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Modern education increasingly focuses on technological rationality, emphasizing control, efficiency, prediction, and measurable outcomes. A recent study proposes a “philosophy of pathos” that considers suffering, vulnerability, uncertainty and human fragility as important factors in education. Drawing on Japanese philosophy shaped through intersections between Eastern and Western thoughts, the study uses the “knowledge of pathos” and “logic of lemma” to envision education that can respond more meaningfully to suffering, ambiguity, global catastrophe, and crisis.

Organizing school-based teacher professional development: Insights from Ghana

ECNU Review of Education
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A recent study conducted in 10 schools in Ghana tested a model for teacher professional development (TPD) based on mobile phone access to an online course. Regular professional learning community meetings supported the teachers. Meeting facilitators' modelling of participatory approaches, along with opportunities for discussion and questions, positively influenced teachers' engagement.

Chicago Journals becomes first publisher to offer free journal access to Tribal Colleges and Universities

University of Chicago Press Journals
Business Announcement

In early 2026, the University of Chicago Press Journals Division became the first publisher to offer free journal access to Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in the United States through a partnership with the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC). The initiative provides no-cost digital subscriptions to every journal in our program, ensuring our new and archival scholarship is available to the students and faculty served by these often-underfunded institutions.

AIHEC includes 37 TCUs that were created and chartered by their own Tribal government or the federal government to provide higher education opportunities to American Indians through programs that are locally based, holistic, and supportive. So far, we have provisioned access to more than ten institutions, and we are working with AIHEC as additional institutions opt in. This new program is an exceptional opportunity to build productive and collaborative relationships with institutions we were not previously reaching. Learn more about the American Indian Higher Education Consortium.
