    Multilingua, 2026
    This article analyses the participatory dynamics and methodological challenges of engaging the Moldavian Csángó community in co-created linguistic research through the “Therapy of the soul” project. Using participatory research as a framework, the study explores how storytelling and memory-sharing in a non-hierarchical setting fostered collaboration among researchers and local participants. The Csángó community, often portrayed through essentialist narratives of linguistic and cultural “relics”, actively redefined their identity through shared emotional experiences. We highlight how the Therapy of the soul project navigated the tension between participatory ideals and implicit hierarchies in research, with researchers balancing roles as facilitators, co-participants, and vulnerable contributors. The findings underscore the transformative potential of participatory research in creating methodologically rich points that illuminate power dynamics, language ideologies, and identity construction. Ultimately, the Therapy of the soul project provides a novel perspective on participatory research as an emotional, community-based practice fostering mutual discovery and support.
  • Responsible organizational transformation: Social and systemic challenges, and the role of foresight
    Ákos Nagy, Judit Gáspár
    Sustainable Futures, 2025
    This study highlights dynamics of responsible organisational transformation processes from a leadership perspective. The challenges of balancing multiple responsibility agendas in shifting cultural and systemic contexts are explored, focusing on foresight as a part of responsible transformations. Two organisations are studied with focus on the leaders as catalysts and simultaneously barriers of change processes with attention to personal details which provides enriched data that can be internalised by practitioners. Qualitative case study methodology is employed on a green construction company and an education based social enterprise, both of which had shifted radically around responsible goals. The paper highlights unique social challenges, new shades of established responsible management practices and presents a dynamic of organisational drift mediated by leadership. Foresight or lack-there-of is further found to be a factor of transformations that need to be constantly iterated, without which its inherent value is not harnessed. Divergence of stakeholder groups and their goals are presented as key moments of these processes that can lead to divided organisations. Various aspects of responsible management had been explored over the last decades. The authors contribute to the field by focusing on organizational transformations, lived experiences, a unique Hungarian, Eastern European context and the interplay between leadership practices, organizational culture, and the deeper learning needed for systemic change, offering practical implications for responsible management education and organizational development.
  • How to promote energy-saving attitudes with nudges: Evidence from Hungary
    Richárd Szántó, Borbála Szüle, Judit Gáspár
    Sustainable Futures, 2025
    Energy conservation may be critical for mitigating the devastating consequences of climate change. To examine the drivers of energy-saving behavior, we investigated the temperature that young adults consider as ideal in their homes and the factors that may influence this choice. In an experimental setting, we applied two interventions (a default nudge and information disclosure) separately and in combination. Contrary to intuition, the most substantial energy-saving impact was triggered by mere information disclosure in the form of highlighting the World Health Organization’s recommendations about maintaining a safe and well-balanced indoor temperature. We also examined the effects of concerns about climate change and energy security. Our results revealed that while climate-change-related worries did not have a significant impact, those who were highly worried about the security of energy provision were willing to tolerate much lower temperatures in their homes under some conditions. These findings suggest that simply disclosing choice-relevant information (related to health and energy savings) may efficiently promote energy-saving decisions.
  • Enhancing professional development for Third Space roles: reflections on the added value of Learning Circles
    Linde Moriau, Réka Matolay, Emma McKenna, Andrea Toarniczky, Judit Gáspár, Márta Frigyik, Catherine Bates
    Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education, 2025
    This paper explores how Learning Circles can support higher education staff in navigating the complexities of contemporary educational landscapes with greater confidence, creativity, and efficacy. It presents qualitative research rooted in the three-year Erasmus+ project CIRCLET, involving five European universities. Learning Circles were implemented as a core component of professional development programmes, aiming to foster quality integration of Community Engaged Research and Learning (CERL) in academic practice. Drawing on a collaborative autoethnographic research design, we reflected on our experiences as Learning Circle designers, facilitators, and participants to identify manifestations of professional growth emanating from our project activities. We build on four different Learning Circle examples, analysing their features through a Third Spaces lens. We demonstrate that Learning Circles have the potential to create agentic, distributed, and adaptive professional learning spaces, enabling participating staff in reimagining their professional space, so that they feel better prepared to assume the hybrid roles and responsibilities that practices of engagement typically entail. We put forward a number of guiding principles for Learning Circle facilitators, emphasising the importance of promoting inquiry-led approaches, embedded in day-to-day practice, fostering active participation and critical reflection on one’s positionality.

  • Seeing from the North: a Critical Family Language Policy study of a peripheral European minority community
    Petteri Laihonen, Csanád Bodó, Judit Gáspár, Bernadett Jani-Demetriou, Carina Fazakas-Timaru
    International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2025
    Family language policy research has been focused on migrants from the Global South, their linguistic resources and challenges in the Global North target countries. There has been less research on the countries of origin and of those staying behind. To fill this gap, we investigate a minority speaker community touched by intensive labour migration. The participants (n = 12) of this research were interviewed in Romanian-Hungarian bilingual villages in the Moldavian province of Romania. We investigate interviews with mothers through methods of interactional discourse analysis. The interviews include recurring narratives of language shift from Hungarian to Romanian and stories about migration as well as more recent narratives about participating in Hungarian language education. Our research questions are based on the Critical Family Language Policy framework: What is a family? what counts as a language? and how to define policy in this context? We conclude that the role and definition of family, the interpretations of what constitutes a language, and most significantly the role of community in discourses about language management are different from those typical in the Global North.
  • Fathoming AI's Place in Project Work: A Qualitative Study of Student Practices and Perceptions

    2025 IEEE 16th International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2025, 2025
    This paper describes a pilot study in which our goal was to better understand the role that generative AI can play in project-based learning. Students organized into teams of 5-6 were given a project to solve, and were asked to document all the steps in which they used generative AI – whether related to planning, implementation, or analysis. Preliminary results based on students’ feedback and an empirical evaluation of the projects seem to show that there is more nuance to the effective use of AI than meets the eye. The significant qualitative differences in the teams’ feedback suggest that different attitudes, expectations and approaches guided the work of the different teams, which may have led to very different experiences and outcomes. Lessons learned from the pilot study could help inform the effective use of AI in future project work based classes.
  • Piloting ModiBot: A Large Language Model-Based Moderator in Normal and Emotionally Challenging Focus Group Interactions

    Cinti 2025 IEEE 25th International Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Informatics Proceedings, 2025
    Focus groups are widely used in qualitative research, yet their effectiveness depends heavily on skilled moderation - especially under emotionally challenging group dynamics. With the rise of large language models (LLMs) in qualitative settings, their use as autonomous moderators has been proposed, though little is known about their performance in emotionally charged contexts. This study aimed to evaluate ModiBot, a customizable LLM-based focus group moderator, under simulated challenging scenarios. Using a Discord-based platform, four focus groups were conducted with role-playing researchers to simulate dynamics such as constructive discussion, anger, peer conflict, and moderator-directed protest. ModiBot guided participants through structured phases including onboarding, discussion, AI-mediated synthesis, and reflective validation. Quantitative evaluations and qualitative sentiment and thematic analyses revealed that ModiBot was perceived as objective and able to ensure anonymity and structure, but struggled to de-escalate emotional conflict, adapt to complex group behaviors, and manage conversation pacing. The emotional flatness and rigid message flow led to reduced empathy and cohesion. While the tool successfully facilitated data collection, its social intelligence was limited in group contexts. Further interdisciplinary development is needed to enhance emotional responsiveness and adaptability in LLM moderators for sensitive or volatile research environments.
