20:00-20:20 Slideshow: "Urban impressions- Goa, October 2001” by Prof. Nuno Soares (Faculty of Creative Industries)

20:20-20:45 Discussion

20:45 Refreshments

ABOUT THE TALK

The speaker will depart from her contribution to this book to debate representations of women in Goa during Portuguese colonialism in the more relevant periodicals published in the colony. These representations challenge historically gendered structures and show how gender is intertwined with other forms of hierarchy. Moreover, categorizations and representations of women allow to identify a broader and systematic correlation between Goa and India, particularly Calcutta, the epicentre of British colonialism in India during the crucial periods of the British raj.

ABOUT THE TALK

Science communication needs to be able to translate complex science topics into a form that is easily understandable by the general public. This process raises awareness about the contribution of science to solve societal issues and is part of an educational framework that provides tools for informed decision-making. The development of a sustainable society should be seen as a continuous process of learning and change, involving a variety of actors that provide guidance and leadership in formal and non-formal learning contexts. The Lousal mining village comprises a Mining Museum, a Science Centre and an Underground Mining Gallery. In this presentation, we will emphasise the importance of science education and communication for the society using some results of this ongoing project.

Students and staff of the Institute of Science and Environment of the University of Saint Joseph  braved the midday scorching heat of the sun, on October 1st, to collect sand samples from one of the beaches in Coloane for quantification of microplastics.

Not only that, they also volunteered to do a mini coastal clean-up and gathered data on the types of litter found on the beach.

The activity is an important part of their Science modules but also enables them to make the connection about their personal consumption and the litter they see on the beach.

The final induction session, CEO – Campus Emerging Orientation, organised by the Office for Student and Alumni Affairs (OSAA) and coordinated by the Residential Hall Office, was held on 24 September 2019.

New students from Pre-University and Undergraduate programmes, some senior students, alumni, chaplians, counsellors and student affairs practitioners, conducted a sharing session to share their challenges after the first three weeks of class and gave some suggestions to USJ. After the sharing session, all new students cooperated to cook dinner in groups. A group of alumni shared their experience about their study and career development during the dinner. Some new students also experienced residential life by staying overnight at Resident Hall. It was an unforgettable experience!

The Orientation and Induction Weeks 2019 lasted for 4 consecutive weeks with the objective to ease the transition of new students into collegiate environments with an array of activities.

On September 25th, 2019, the Public and International Relations Office (PIRO) held a Welcome Dinner for the International Exchange Students (Fall Semester 2019/2020) at the Man Lei Cheong Seng Restaurant, located near the A-Ma Temple, a site briefly visited on the way to the restaurant.

In total, 24 exchange students from Brazil, Portugal, France, Italy and Indonesia participated, contributing to a fun gathering with the PIRO Director, Mrs Paula Mota, and three other members of the PIRO Team: Mr Brian Cheong, Ms Joana Costa and Ms Sandra Ng. There was also a happy coincidence: it was one of the exchange students' birthday! Thus, a cake was brought so we could all sing happy birthday and wish her well.

The Welcome Dinner was kindly sponsored by the Macao Foundation and is part of PIRO's "Macao Inside Out" events that aim promoting the local culture, traditions and typical food, supporting students' adjustment to Macao and China, while fostering the sharing of international exchange students' own local culture and traditions.

Lucky Strike and Menez Gwen hydrothermal fields are located in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR), southwest of the Azores islands. In the areas surrounding the active sites, the alteration processes affecting basaltic rocks are prominent and form hydrothermal breccias by the circulation of low temperature hydrothermal fluids in diffuse vents. These breccias play an important role in the protection of subseafloor hydrothermal sulphide deposits by forming an impermeable cap due to the high content in siliceous material. Since the discovery and description of recent mineralized submarine hydrothermal deposits, comparison with ancient volcanic massive sulphide deposits is appropriate. Thus, the model for the formation of the Atlantic brecciated rocks can explain some of the processes taking place in the early phase of development of old deposits, where equivalent siliceous material is found in the hanging wall of the ore bodies.

ABOUT THE TALK

From October 28th, the University of Saint Joseph will hold an Internationalisation Week for its staff. As part of the initiative, a series of workshops, meetings and this public lecture will be held.

Internationalisation is a strategic priority for the vast majority of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide. However, it still means different things to different people. What should HEI’s administrators do when the different stakeholders lack a common understanding of internationalisation? How do they optimise investments if there is no common goal to be reached? Through the study of different successful internationalisation strategies and the analysis of the main rationales and tools for internationalisation, we developed a model to be used by managers to improve economic performance. This model, to be presented, is targeted at HEIs’ managers to assist decision-making processes.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Magda Ferro holds a Licentiate degree (5 year) in International Relations, a Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing, a MBA Diploma, and a MSc degree in Management. Her MSc dissertation addressed the Internationalisation of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) from a management perspective. For the last 10 years Mrs. Magda has been working with Internationalization of HEIs, setting up the International Office at Universidade Católica Portuguesa - Porto, where she is the Office Head. Currently, Mrs. Magda is leading the development of the university’s internationalisation strategy and policies, as well as managing the implementation processes. Her main topics of research are the Management of Internationalisation and Internationalisation at Home Processes.
