Item type:Publication, From paradise lost to paradise regained: A compassionate retuning of assessed seminarsUniversities often aim to deliver a curriculum that is both research‐based and develops transferable skills in students, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the job market. At the same time, evidence indicates that university students experience significant stress owing to the competitive nature of the assessments, an aspect that is particularly exacerbated in higher educational institutions in liberal market economies. This article presents evidence suggesting that Assessed Seminars, a form of summative assessment, could deliver on the aims of universities whilst curtailing the detrimental effects of stress on students, provided it is underpinned by a compassion‐focussed pedagogy. The empirical study introduces four interventions (viz., communication of expectations and assessment, peer‐assisted learning and compassionate management of group dynamics, toolkits and practice, and detailed feedback) in the Assessed Seminars of a first‐year undergraduate course in Business and Management at a UK university. Results indicate that students engaged with the assessment and were satisfied, and that it led to both subject‐based knowledge and the development of transferable skills. While students recognise psychological responses at the onset, these challenges are overcome and transformed into strengths by the conclusion of the course. Based on the findings, the article presents a best practices protocol for Assessed Seminars that could be implemented by educational institutions.Type:journal articleJournal:British Educational Research Journal - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, The Link between Climate Change Risk Perception, Strategy, and Performance: A Risk-Based ApproachWhile many companies engage in both climate mitigation and adaptation strategies, a clear understanding of how risk perceptions shape these strategies and their ultimate effectiveness is lacking. Our research proposes a novel risk-based model of corporate climate change strategy, arguing that companies' perceptions of climate risk determine the type of strategy they pursue, ultimately affecting environmental and financial performance. We theorize three risk-based climate strategies (risk-avoiding, risk-reducing, and risk-transferring) and hypothesize that they mediate the relationship between risk and performance. We use a rich dataset of large panel data and causal mediation analysis to test our hypotheses. We find that more stringent climate strategies mediate the climate change risk-environmental performance relationship more strongly than less stringent strategies. Further, stringent strategies improve short-term financial performance and external carbon exposure evaluations influence long-term financial performance. Our new conceptualization is based on risk and task environment, and integrated with climate mitigation and adaptation.Type:conference paper - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
