Mrs. Elaheh Rahimi | Learning & Development | Research Excellence Award

PhD Student | The University of Canterbury | New Zealand

Mrs. Elaheh Rahimi contributes to early childhood education, philosophy of education, and cultural linguistics by advancing theoretical and methodological understandings of meaning-making in educational contexts. Across 9 peer reviewed documents with 246 citations and an h-index of 5, the work integrates dialogic theory, cultural semiotics, and philosophical inquiry to examine how objects, language, and culture mediate learning and identity. A key contribution is the development of dialogic and Cassirer informed frameworks that reconceptualise infants’ engagement with objects as culturally situated, dynamic, and symbolically rich practices. The research extends beyond early childhood education to address intercultural competence, discourse analysis, and emerging issues such as artificial intelligence and childhood. Published in international journals and disseminated through scholarly conferences, this body of work bridges theory and practice, offering conceptual tools that inform culturally responsive pedagogy, curriculum design, and education policy in diverse and global contexts.

Yijng Zhang | HR Technology and Digital Transformation | Excellence in Research Award

Dr. Yijng Zhang | HR Technology and Digital Transformation | Excellence in Research Award

Postdoctoral Researcher | The University of Capital Normal University | China

Dr. Yijng Zhang  the gendered characteristics of writing media in women’s calligraphic practices during the Song Dynasty from the perspective of material culture. It explores how writing tools and material carriers were embedded with gender coding and social norms, shaping stylistic form, emotional expression, spatial organization, and identity construction in female calligraphy. The study analyzes differences in media selection and innovation among women of varying social classes, revealing how material choices functioned as both cultural resources and symbolic constraints. It further investigates gendered power dynamics in the circulation and evaluation of calligraphic works, including the intervention of male critics and the resistance strategies adopted by female calligraphers. By examining the reproduction and consumption of writing media, the research exposes mechanisms of gender discipline and the structural limits of media transformation. Overall, the study demonstrates how material media enabled women to accumulate cultural capital while simultaneously reinforcing gender boundaries, contributing a nuanced framework for understanding gender, materiality, and artistic identity in Chinese art history.
