Academic literature on the topic 'Faculty of science Charles university in Prague'

Text of panels and abstracts accepted for the international conference of the Gypsy Lore Society held in Prague in 2021 (GLS Annual Meeting and Conference on Romani Studies 2021, 8.-10. 9. 2021 - https://gls2021.ff.cuni.cz/). Introducing the context of the organization of the conference in 2021 and Romani studies structures in the Czech Republic, the book features three studies presenting: currently documented effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Romani communities worldwide (Tatiana Zachar Podolinská); the historical context of the establishment of the Seminar of Romani Studies at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in 1991 and its developments until today (Helena Sadílková, Pavel Kubaník); a summary of Romani studies research, publications and theses focused on the Roma at the Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Sociological Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University (Zdeněk Uherek). The book includes an index of names of all contributors of the conference – authors of individual papers and panel convenors.

Peer-reviewed conference proceedings from the international conference organized by the Faculty of Education at Trnava University in Trnava, Slovakia, the Hussite Theological Faculty at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, and the Department of Religious Affairs of the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic.

A long-term approach is definitive for my career, which has evolved at a single place over more than 30 years. But the Long-Term Research Ecology (LTER) program, and especially its urban research, has broadened my thinking far beyond the boundaries of the ecosystem science tradition in which I was trained. I have added to my expectations of students that they learn collaboration, use a diversity of approaches, explore existing data, and document and archive their own data. I anticipate that they will find careers in a broader diversity of areas than academia. The urban research in the LTER program has provided an incentive for me to work on communicating with the public, educators, students, and practitioners. I am still learning but am much more motivated than previously to reach out to these communities. Collaboration is standard practice for ecosystem science but the LTER program has expanded the types of scientists with whom I collaborate as well as the extent of my external collaborations. My decision to lead the Central Arizona–Phoenix (CAP) LTER project was therefore life-changing in extending the horizons of my science, mentoring, collaborations, and outreach. Since 1997, when the CAP program began, I have been involved in the LTER program. I was the original principal investigator, and Charles Redman and I were codirectors from 1997 to 2010. In 2010, after successfully renewing the CAP project, I took a 2-year hiatus to work at the National Science Foundation (NSF). I returned in 2012 and am currently the principal investigator and sole director. This has been my only involvement in the LTER program throughout my career, although as an undergraduate, I conducted research at what was to become the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest site. I am trained as a stream ecologist and biogeochemist, and I have been at Arizona State University (ASU) for my entire graduate and postgraduate career. Currently I am a professor, having moved through ranks, first as a non–tenure track research faculty member, then as an “academic professional,” and finally as an associate and then full professor. I lead somewhat of a double life, scientifically.
