Creative Universities : Reimagining Education for Global Challenges and Alternative Futures (2021) by Anne-Marie Smith

“… The book ‘Creative Universities’ by Anke Schwittay (2021) is unlike any other academic text I have read about teaching; the pages buzz with hope, creative vision and radical possibilities, and it left me wanting to do my teaching differently, to shake up our learning spaces, and to keep asking questions. This book is a call to arms in which Schwittay invites us to have courage, take risks, cause disturbance, be creative, and alongside our students reshape the way we engage in education via a critical-creative pedagogy (hereafter C-CP). …”

3D modelling and simulation of thermal effects and dispersion of particles carrying infectious respiratory agents in a railway transport coach by Patrick Armand, Jérémie Tâche

“…Beyond its application to a commuter train, our work confirms the value of validated CFD tools for describing the airflow and dispersion of particles in complex spaces that do not always allow experimentation. The models that we have developed are applicable to any other semi-confined, ventilated public place, such as a classroom, a hospital room or a performance hall, and they enable the objective assessment of whether the occupation of these spaces could be critical with regard to infectious contamination and of how to limit this ubiquitous risk.…”
