I wish to extend a special invitation to PASCAL subscribers to consider participating in the upcoming British Psychological Society Developmental Section Annual Conference which I am helping to organise. It will take place here in Glasgow from September 11th to 13th, 2024. The conference primarily focuses on Developmental Psychology and offers valuable insights and opportunities that may be of interest to many of you.

The PASCAL Learning Cities Network (LCN), Faith and Spirituality-based Learning City Development, and the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS), in partnership with Swansea University and Glasgow University, are very happy to invite you to this open-access WEBINAR on the challenges and opportunities for using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in spiritual instruction. Can AI ensure moral flourishing, learning, and well-being in our cities?

The value of higher education (HE) is in question (Dollinger, 2018). The rigid and archaic structure of the system is outdated, and so too is the tenure process (Stromquist, 2017). Adjunct faculty are the majority (American Association of University Professors, 2018), yet their needs are not prioritized (Bickerstaff & Chavarin, 2018).
