Editorial

Photo of a newspaper headed 'The Institutional Researcher'

Welcome to the March/April 2021 edition of The Institutional Researcher.

Photo of a lot of colourful notebooks on a flat surface.

In this issue of our now bi-monthly newsletter, I invited Dr Anand Kulkarni to sit in our Institutional Researcher’s Corner. You may recall that, in the Jan/Feb issue, Anand summarised an article on the need for resilience rankings, which he published in University World News in December 2020. I encourage you to read his article ‘Resilience rankings, a new lens?’ on our blog.

You may also notice that I have made some changes to one of the interview questions. Instead of asking interviewees about ‘the emerging areas of interest in institutional research’, I have decided to ask them to outline ‘the key skills, capabilities, and knowledge required for institutional research moving forward’ in Question 3. My hope here is for AAIR members to identify our strengths, as well as explore the need for development at both professional and personal levels. Question 4 has been also been modified to include a perspective on COVID-19.

PS: I don’t know about you, but April has not been easy for me personally. So, in closing, I wish to acknowledge those who offered me their ears, shoulders, and shelters, to help, me live through the storms. Thank you! You know who you are.

Do you have something you would like to share with your IR colleagues? Please send your contributions to editor@aair.org.au.
