Towards an Economy of Higher Education
This paper draws a distinction between ways thinking and acting, and hence of policy and practice in higher education, in terms of different kinds of economy: economies of exchange and economies of excess. Crucial features of economies of exchange are outlined and their presence in prevailing conceptions of teaching and learning is illustrated. These are contrasted with other possible forms of practice, which in turn bring to light the nature of an economy of excess. In more philosophical terms, and to expand on the picture, economies of excess are elaborated with reference, first, to the understanding of alterity in the work of Emmanuel Levinas and, second, to the idea of Dionysian intensity that is to be found in Nietzsche. In the light of critical comment on some current directions in policy and practice, the implications of these ways of thinking for the administrator, the teacher and the student in higher education are explored

Implementing a mapping and forecasting tool for zero-emission vehicle infrastructure in Washington
In 2021, the legislature directed the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to develop a Zero Emission Vehicle Mapping and Forecasting Tool (ZEV-MFT) “to enable coordinated, effective, efficient, and timely deployment of charging and refueling infrastructure necessary to support statewide and local transportation electrification efforts that result in emissions reductions” consistent with state goals (HB 1287). In this effort, WSDOT is coordinating closely with the state departments of Commerce and Ecology, the Office of Equity, and the Utilities and Transportation Commission. In addition, WSDOT contracted with the University of Washington Sustainable Transportation Lab (UW) to scope the development of this tool and with the Washington State University Energy Program (WSU) to conduct stakeholder engagement activities
