A new analysis of education debates on both social media and in traditional media outlets suggests that the education sector is being increasingly influenced by populism and the wider social media culture wars .
The study also suggests that the type of populism in question is not quite the same as that used to explain large-scale political events, such as the UK s Brexit from the European Union, or Donald Trump s recent presidency in the United States.
Instead, the researchers - from the University of Cambridge, UK, and Queensland University of Technology, Australia - identify a phenomenon called micropopulism : a localised populism which spotlights an aspect of public services, such as the education sector. Micropopulism is populist, they argue, in the sense that it expresses a fervent division between a disregarded people and an unjust elite.
An expert says when it comes to preventing sexual assault, the focus is too often on victims’ behaviour rather than changing the attitudes of young men, who statistically represent the majority of perpetrators.

I think it is a desperate attempt by Robertson to try and set up the RBNZ as the people who cop the blame for the shambles that this Government has been making of the housing market for the last three and a half years.
I suspect it will backfire on him (Robertson). Orr is far to smart to allow Robertson to get away with such a transparent attempt to pass the parcel.
Orr is quite likely to take it as an invitation to tell Robertson, publicly, what he thinks will be required to fix the housing situation. Nothing he proposes will be something the the RBNZ can do. Everything will be something that requires fiscal action by Robertson himself. It will be on the basis of If you don t do this it will get worse . What he will suggest is very unlikely to be acceptable to the Government but Orr can then continue in the future to propose that if the Government had only followed our advice…… etc .
For the past 12 years, the John Molson Undergraduate Case Competition has attracted teams from renowned business schools across the globe.
Hosted by the John Molson School of Business, part of Concordia University, a case competition is an opportunity for students to work together in teams to solve problems and create business solutions for a specific case.
Demanding and dynamic cases, mixed with unique social events, make JMUCC a one-of-a-kind case competition that allows students to put their creative and analytical skills to the test. Throughout the week, each team will be required to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in the classroom towards solving live business cases. Their analysis will then be presented to a panel of respected judges and industry specialists who will carefully evaluate the presentations and determine one winning team.
