Quantifying Hierarchy and Prestige in US Ballet Academies as Social Predictors of Career Success

This data contains aggregated competition outcomes from 6,363 ballet students affiliated with 1,603 schools in the United States, who participated in the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) between 2000 and 2021. We adopt a network science and science of science approach that empowers logistic regression models and matching experiments to quantify social prestige and its influence on dancers' careers. The analysis of career success in the performing arts, like ballet, in the context of a competition setting offers a unique opportunity to investigate the social influences on success while controlling for competition performance. Our work reveals the importance of institutional prestige on career success in ballet and showcases the potential of network science approaches to provide quantitative viewpoints for the professional development of careers beyond science.

Data from: Breaking Barriers? Ethnicity and socioeconomic background impact on early career progression in the fields of ecology and evolution

The academic disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) have long suffered from a lack of diversity. While in recent years there has been some progress in addressing the underrepresentation of women in STEM subjects, other characteristics that have the potential to impact on equality of opportunity have received less attention. In this study, we surveyed 188 early career scientists (ECRs), defined as within ten years of completing their PhD, in the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, behaviour, and related disciplines. We examined associations between ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, sex, socioeconomic background, and disability, with measures of career progression, namely publication record, number of applications made before obtaining a postdoc, type of contract, and number of grant applications made. We also queried respondents on perceived barriers to progression, and potential ways of overcoming them. Our key finding was that socioeconomic background and ethnicity were associated with measures of career progression. While there was no difference in the number of reported first-authored papers on PhD completion, ethnic minority respondents reported fewer other-authored papers. In addition, ECRs from a lower socioeconomic background were more likely to report being in teaching and research positions, rather than research only positions, the latter being perceived as more prestigious by some institutions. We discuss our findings in the context of possible inequality of opportunity. We hope that this study will stimulate wider discussion, and help to inform strategies to address the underrepresentation of minority groups in the fields of ecology and evolution, and STEM subjects more widely.

Leveraging English Proficiency for Global Connectivity and Career Advancement

In the era of globalization and rapid technological advancement, mastery of English is  becoming increasingly important as a means of international communication and  access to information. This manuscript explores the importance of English language  competence in various aspects of life, particularly in the context of education. The  research background shows that English plays a vital role in cross-cultural  communication, career opportunities, and academic advancement. However, there  are challenges faced by international students in learning English, including  differences in cultural backgrounds and variations in language proficiency levels. This  manuscript aims to analyze effective strategies and interventions for improving English  language learning for international students, as well as discuss the importance of a  more critical and inclusive approach to the adoption of English as a language of  instruction in higher education. This study then conducted a comprehensive literature  review of various up-to-date sources. The results of the analysis and discussion show  that the availability of resources, institutional support, and collaboration between  stakeholders play an important role in creating an effective English language learning  ecosystem for international students. The highlight of the study stream is the  importance of English language competency as a catalyst for global connectivity,  career development, and educational advancement.

Planning for the Future: How ICT Professors Approach Retirement and Post-Career Life

Context: Professors' attitudes toward retirement vary widely, ranging from enthusiasm to reluctance. Some see it as a new beginning, while others perceive it as an intensified continuation of their academic efforts. As an evolving process, professor retirement is becoming increasingly relevant due to the aging academic workforce in higher education institutions worldwide.  Goal: This study aims to investigate the human, organizational, legal, and regulatory factors that may affect the retirement process of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professors.  Method: We conducted a survey with 176 ICT professors from various universities across the country to gather data on their perceptions and preparations for retirement.  Results: Our findings reveal that most professors begin to consider retirement early (31.3%) or mid-career (21.6%). Over 64% plan to engage in leisure activities and travel after retirement, while continuing to contribute to academic research. Additionally, many reported building a financial reserve during their active professional life to supplement their income and maintain their standard of living.  Conclusion: ICT professors are increasingly aware of the importance of retirement planning, with many adopting strategies to ensure a comfortable future and continue their academic contributions. Financial reserves and post-career activity planning are key aspects of this process. However, most universities do not offer training courses to prepare them for retirement. Keywords: Retirement, ICT Professors, Post-Career Life
