Current Projects
CHILDREN’S PARTICIPATION INTERNATIONALLY
In collaboration with a student colleague, Križ is co-authoring a book chapter about the international ministries of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur for an oral history project on the Sisters, conducted at Emmanuel College.
CHILDREN’S RIGHT TO PARTICIPATION IN NORWAY
Together with colleagues Frøydis Petersen Jensen, Audun Gabriel Løvlie, and Marit Skivenes at the University of Bergen, Križ is working on the research project PARTICIPATION. The project seeks to promote children’s right to participate in child protection-related processes in Norway and other countries. It assesses existing child welfare structures, studies the factors that prevent and promote children’s participation, and develops new programs.
THE COLLEGE RESET
Križ’s next book, entitled The College Reset: Designing Equitable Colleges for Working Students, co-authored with colleague Janese Free, proposes low- or no-cost solutions for colleges to address the challenges faced by college students who are employed while enrolled full-time. This book builds on in-depth interviews conducted by the authors and a student research team in the northeastern United States.
