Learning as Compost: Reorienting Evaluation in an Era of Authoritarian Drift

open access: yesNew Directions for Evaluation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We synthesize insights from seven cases to interrogate a central assumption of the learning function of evaluation: Learning can be strengthened through better design, integration, or alignment with accountability systems. Taking the issue's conceptual framework seriously, the essay reflects what the cases reveal about the nature of learning ...

open access: yesNew Directions for Evaluation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, we set out a conceptual overview of what we call learning in the evaluation ecosystem to depict the interplay between external influences, organizational and community factors, and learning levers (e.g. capacity building, systems thinking).

Sufficient Gas and Solvated Ion Transport Assisted Rapid NH3 Detection at Room Temperature Through Bionic Olfactory Fibres

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Bionic olfactory fibres with nanoconfined ionic liquids were developed to mimic human olfactory cilia. Benefiting from sufficient gas transport pathways provided by inter‐fibre interconnected pores and rapid transport of solvated ions in the confined nano spacing, bionic olfactory fibres show excellent sensing performance to NH3 and demonstrate the ...

“You just want to re‐open our biggest wounds, don't you?”: Homeplace ethnography as (polluted) environmental method

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.

Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.

From hydrogels to eutectogels: Emerging platforms for stretchable electronics

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
The transition of wearable electronics toward long‐term reliability requires materials that resist dehydration without sacrificing tissue‐like softness and ionic conductivity. Eutectogels fulfill these demands by immobilizing deep eutectic solvents within tailored polymer networks.

MNE retrenchment and redeployment in the face of the US–China trade war: Real options and strategic flexibility

open access: yesGlobal Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Trade wars increasingly manifest in the contemporary environment for global business; thereby, calling for examination of MNE strategic responses. MNEs can respond to such shocks by leveraging their strategic flexibility and engaging in retrenchment and redeployment; that is, the respective scaling down (up) of subsidiary ...
