Teachers are Leaders and Leaders are Teachers In Why It Matters, John A. White draws on a wealth of expertise acquired across his six-decade career as a corporate leader, chancellor, dean, educator, engineer, and consultant to create a thorough and thought-provoking treatise on leadership philosophy. Based in part on Leadership Practices and Principles, the award-winning course he designed and taught at the University of Arkansas, Why It Matters brilliantly weaves Dr. White’s inspiring personal story and observations on leadership with a treasure trove of leadership philosophy from some of the nation’s most respected corporate, military, and political leaders. After stepping down as chancellor of the University of Arkansas, Dr. White was encouraged by faculty colleagues to offer a course on leadership. Though he’d been an engineering educator for forty-five years by then and had never taught a course that wasn’t based on equations, he was intrigued by the idea of sharing his leadership journey with students. For the following nine years, Dr. White taught Leadership Practices and Principles to seniors and graduate students from every discipline, introducing them to fifteen guest leaders over the course of each semester and holding in-depth, frank, and often emotional conversations about the challenges, joys, heartbreaks, and diversity of approaches to successful leadership. Dr. White recounts dozens of these conversations in Why It Matters while reflecting on his own leadership journey in business, government, nonprofit organizations, and universities. Drawing on numerous challenging leadership experiences while serving on six boards of directors for publicly traded companies and leading the University of Arkansas, Georgia Tech’s engineering college, National Science Foundation’s engineering directorate, and numerous professional associations, he provides practical guidance on navigating your leadership journey. Why It Matters is required reading for current and aspiring leaders alike, as well as anyone with an interest in a plainspoken and truly comprehensive compendium of leadership thought and philosophy.
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) feminist visionaries have contributed to a paradigm shift in feminist theory and practice by espousing an intersectional and inclusive conceptualization of liberation. This book honors the journeys and contributions of seven feminist visionaries, who share some of their most formative experiences and challenges that fomented a desire for equity, justice, and collective wellbeing. The transformations to feminism, psychology, psychotherapy, and other areas following their immeasurable contributions are vast and have produced enduring changes. The chapters in this volume also offer their reflections and wisdom about what remains unfinished in service to building an equitable and just society. These deep and critical reflections serve as an excellent resource for anyone seeking to increase their awareness of equity and justice in psychology. Readers will also have a view into how it is that lived experiences inform intellectual and professional pursuits, and vice versa. This book will serve as an exceptional accompaniment to any course aiming to expose students to these indispensable perspectives which are at once personal and, undoubtedly, professional. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women & Therapy.
(Book). You may not have heard of them, but you have certainly heard their songs! From the lo-fidelity origins of early pioneers to today's dazzling technocrats, the role of the music producer is as murkily undefined as it is wholly essential. Sonic Alchemy: Visionary Music Producers and Their Maverick Recordings is an exploration of the influence of the often colorful, idiosyncratic and visionary music producers through popular music and the fascinatingly crucial role they have played in shaping the way we hear pop music today. Sonic Alchemy is nothing short of the secret history of the music producer.
The purpose of this book is to examine violence on college campuses and prepare campus practitioners to both prevent and respond to violence. Since the first edition was published, major violence has redefined the landscape, most notably the experiences of 9/11 and the tragedy of the Virginia Tech massacre. On the positive side, however, great strides have been made in understanding violence and how to prevent, interrupt, and respond to both internal and external threats; this growth is reflected in this new edition. The book is organized into three major sections. The first section addresses broad campus violence concerns and violence conceptualization; understanding the basics of violence; and identifying the cast of characters: targets, perpetrators, protectors, and bystanders. The second section explores general prevention strategies, including looking for warning signs of impending violent acts, building barriers to discourage potential offenders from acting out, and developing effective safety approaches for law enforcement personnel. The third section looks more in depth at particular forms of campus violence including sexual assault, rioting, hate crimes, hazing, homicide, nonsexual assault, and bombing. Each chapter offers recommendations for prevention and follow-up strategies. Salient case examples and a comprehensive glossary further enhance the text. "Violence Goes to College" offers hope that somewhere between Pollyanna and paranoia, campuses can find a healthy balance between reasonable protection and personal freedom. This new edition continues to be a user-friendly resource providing busy college personnel, students, and parents with directed, well-researched strategies to prepare for the possibility of tragedy before it strikes. It is not only a valuable tool for college administrators, but also a useful research book for journalists, psychologists, law enforcement personnel, and attorneys.
