Managing and/or Leading? Exploring the Identity of Unit Coordinators through Two Case Studies
Daron Benjamin Loo
Abstract: Literature has shown that unit coordinators at universities, who are considered middle managers, occupy a rather ambiguous space. This is because the nature of oversight employed by unit coordinators could be that of managing or leading. These types of oversights, however, may not be easily distinguished. This caveat serves as the basis for this study, which seeks to explore the professional identity of two unit coordinators — Aileen and ...

Challenges and Issues of Flipping Humanities Lessons:Investigating Teachers’ Experiences in a Malaysian InternationalSchool
Jasmine Jain*, Johan Luaran, Sarulathi Panayachi
Abstract : Flipped classroom has been widely used in many educational institutions to promote student engagement during class time. A consensus from past research suggests that the flipped model generally can produce a higher rate of student engagement. Therefore, teachers who practise the “flip” method should be well equipped to be able to reap the benefits of flipped classroom. This study intends to study teachers’ experience with regard to the challenges ...

Exploring Factors Behind the Lack of Formal Employment Opportunities among Selected Transgender Women in Malaysia: A Preliminary Study
Joan Liaw, Judith Nesamalar Tharumaraj*
Abstract: Since the founding of Malaysia as a sovereign independent nation, people belonging to the LGBTQ community have not been treated well in society. The legacy of colonialism still lingers in the Malaysian society, with laws such as the Penal Code 377A and government departments continuing to oppress members of these communities. Amongst those oppressed are transgender women who have had their employment restricted ...

Strategies in Managing Challenges of The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC) during Uncertain Times: A Reflection and A Way Forward
Mark Beau de Silva*, Kalai Vaani Rajandram
Abstract: The recent pandemic was a plague to the performing arts industry. KLPAC was crippled by the incessant restrictive movement orders, where theatres were deprived of audiences for over 377 days bringing losses to about RM2,000,000 during that period. Previous studies on tackling these challenges are widely addressed in countries that rely heavily on this industry to preserve traditions. In Malaysia, collective coping strategies...

Exploring the Masquerade of Equality: A Preliminary Study of Pink Politics in Maldives
Maahil Saeed, Kalai Vaani Rajandram, Judith Nesamalar Tharumaraj*
Abstract: The female voice in Maldives politics is devolving into a feeble mumble. A seemingly progressive society shows their implicit disdain for the female voice in politics with their votes. Despite years of observations by national or international organisations, a satisfactory answer why this remains recurrent is yet to be discovered. A democracy survey by Transparency Maldives indicates that the public seems to be aware of the falling numbers of Maldivian ...
