Dear friends colleagues, have you ever received an invitation to publish your work at InTech Open Science (https://www.intechopen.com/)? I have recently been invited to edit a new book title for them. I am usually suspicious with such invitations and must check the authenticity of the publisher first. Interestingly, they claim that they have published the work for two recent Nobel Laureates. Therefore, I would appreciate your experience and opinions regarding InTech Open Science.
Kind regards,
Time vs. Quality: How Can Working Adults Thrive in Intensive Postgraduate Online Programs?
Discussion

  • Foo AlexFoo Alex
For working professionals pursuing online postgraduate studies, time is both the biggest asset and the greatest challenge. Unlike full-time students, working adults must complete demanding assignments back-to-back while also fulfilling their job responsibilities. In fast-paced programs sometimes structured within just 7-week semesters and there is little room for error, reflection, or deep academic engagement.
One of the most pressing concerns is the struggle to find time for quality work. Assignments often require in-depth research, critical thinking, and well-developed arguments, yet limited availability of faculty guidance and tight deadlines can hinder academic performance. Moreover, securing appointments with lecturers can be a challenge, as their schedules may conflict with working students' availability, leaving many unsure if they are on the right track.
This reality raises an important question: How can postgraduate online programs strike a better balance between rigorous academic expectations and the time constraints of working adults?
Open Discussion Question:
What structural or pedagogical changes could be implemented to ensure that working adults in online postgraduate programs can produce high-quality work without compromising their professional responsibilities?
Let’s discuss practical solutions that can help make online postgraduate education a more sustainable and enriching experience for professionals.
BMX Cultures: Call for Abstracts

This pioneering edited volume seeks to consolidate and advance emerging interdisciplinary scholarship examining the rich cultural tapestry of BMX. While research on individualised lifestyle sports like skateboarding and surfing has proliferated in recent years, BMX cultures and communities remain underexplored academic territory ripe for rigorous investigation.
The editors invite proposals from scholars across the social sciences, humanities, and interdisciplinary fields — including but not limited to sociology, anthropology, geography, urban studies, media studies, sport studies, design, architecture, education, psychology, and philosophy. We welcome empirical, theoretical, and methodological contributions that critically analyse BMX through novel lenses and perspectives.
The editors, BMX riders and academics from three different fields of study, are particularly interested in research representing the diversity of global BMX cultures. Proposals from scholars at all career stages are encouraged, especially from historically underrepresented groups. Our aim is to curate an inclusive volume that captures the vibrancy and complexities of BMX cultures.
Topics relating to cultural dimensions may include but are not limited to:
- Material cultures, spatial practices, and urban landscapes of BMX
- Organisational structures, DIY ethics, and alternative economies
- Professionalisation, mediatisation, and the "Olympification" of BMX
- Gender, masculinity, inclusion, and emerging identities
- Content creation, social media, and digital cultures
- Physical and psychological well-being, risk, and bodily techniques
- Industry, consumption, and lifestyle branding
- Exclusionary practices, localism, and territorial/group dynamics
- Applications in pedagogy, coaching, and experiential learning
- Methodological challenges and innovations in BMX research
- Vernacular terminology, slang, and linguistic anthropology
- Philosophical dimensions of style, creativity, and expressivity
- Intersections of class, gender, race, ethnicity, and youth culture
- Mental health, Wellbeing, Belonging
We look forward to reading your proposal!
