I am a dedicated PhD student in the Department of Education Policy and Leadership at The Education University of Hong Kong, where I am honored to hold the dual scholarships of the RPg Studentship and the Belt and Road (Research Postgraduate) Scholarship. Before starting my PhD journey, I was an Assistant Professor at the College of Education, University of Gondar, Ethiopia. During my tenure there, I also coordinated the Research and Publication Office of the College of Education and spearheaded collaborative research initiatives. I have published my research works in internationally recognized, peer-reviewed journals (Google Scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=wYZVpDoAAAAJ&hl=en
My academic foundation lies in lifelong learning and adult education, and currently, I am more interested in research on higher education policy and leadership, with a particular focus on faculty collaboration in a higher education context.
My PhD project aims to investigate faculty members’ perceptions of collaboration and the factors influencing their collaborative practices by integrating global perspectives on faculty collaboration research with empirical case studies from the Ethiopian higher education context. My research is not just an academic pursuit; it is a mission to contribute to advancing higher education in Ethiopia and beyond. I firmly believe that the professional growth of faculty members is the cornerstone of educational excellence. By promoting collaborative environments, we can empower faculty to learn from one another, innovate collectively, and elevate the quality of research, teaching, and service.
