Dr. Bhagyashree Barhate, Assistant Professor of Human Capital Development at 欧美AV鈥檚 (欧美AV) School of Leadership, presented three research papers at the recent University Forum for Human Resource
Development Conference (UFHRD) in Dublin, Ireland.
The conference, sponsored by F谩ilte Ireland and the Learning & Development Institute, is the flagship event for academic researchers and practitioners working in people management and related fields. Research presented at UFHRD covers a wide range of aspects of people management, including leadership and talent development, coaching and mentoring, inclusion and diversity, employee engagement, and career development and employability.
Dr. Barhate presented research on several relevant human capital development topics:

(first author, with co-authors Dr. Bradley Winton and Dr. Casey Maugh-Funderburk,

Dr. Barhate with her presentation at a Minneapolis conference.
Dr. Barhate explained the importance of the conference: 鈥淎t UFHRD, researchers from the European region are the majority in attendance. Access to these distinguished scholars is limited, considering they rarely attend American conferences. When my papers were accepted, I felt blessed to have the opportunity to present my work to this audience. It was a unique opportunity to be among thought leaders and academic leaders that have helped define the field of human resources development.鈥�
This trip was Dr. Barhate鈥檚 first visit to Ireland, and she found Dublin to be 鈥渄iverse and culturally rich.鈥�
Dr. Heather Annulis, Director of the School of Leadership, acknowledged the importance of Dr. Barhate鈥檚 presentation to this international audience. 鈥淒r. Barhate鈥檚 work is gaining notoriety internationally, and she continues to represent Southern Miss and the School of Leadership with distinction.鈥�
