Clark Kerr's University of California Leadership Diversity and Planning in Higher Education

Clark Kerr's University of California Leadership Diversity and Planning in Higher Education

This volume provides an intellectual history of Kerr's vision of the multiversity as expressed in his most famous work The Uses of the University and in his greatest administrative accomplishment the California Master Plan for Higher Education. Building upon Kerr's use of the visionary hedgehog/shrewd fox dichotomy the book explains the rise of the University of California as due to the articulation and implementation of the hedgehog concept of systemic excellence that underpins the master plan. Arguing that the university's recent problems flow from a fox culture characterized by a free-for-all approach to management including excessive executive compensation this is a call for a new vision for the university and for public higher education in general. In particular it advocates re-funding and re-democratizing public higher education and renewing its leadership through thoughtful succession planning with a special emphasis on diversity. Gonzalez's work follows the ups and downs of women and minorities in higher education showing that university advances often have resulted in the further marginalization of these groups. Clark Kerr's University of California is about American public higher education at the crossroads and will be of interest to those concerned with the future of the public university as an institution as well as those interested in issues relating to leadership diversity and succession planning. | Clark Kerr's University of California Leadership Diversity and Planning in Higher Education

The Keresan Bridge A Problem in Pueblo Ethnology

The Keresan Bridge A Problem in Pueblo Ethnology

This is an unusual excursion into American Indian culture history by a British social anthropologist. It examines theories of the development of different Pueblo social structures with particular attention to Eggan. From a detailed re-analysis of the evidence and a consideration of material from the Eastern Keresan Pueblo of Cochiti based on his own fieldwork Dr Fox concludes that the theory that all Pueblos were derived from a common base is no longer tenable and that a diversity of origins is more probable. Apart from its contribution to Amerindian studies the book is of particular interest as an approach to modern culture history by a social anthropologist. | The Keresan Bridge A Problem in Pueblo Ethnology

A Place of Springs

A Place of Springs

In this book Grace Jantzen constructs a Quaker spirituality of beauty as a theological-philosophical response to a world preoccupied with death and violence. Having mapped the foundations of western cultural violence in the Greco-Roman period and the Judea-Christian tradition in Foundations of Violence and Violence to Eternity she now offers her alternative vision. This vision is an original and creative feminist reading of the Quaker tradition considering George Fox and the writings of Quaker women exploring the themes of inner light and beauty as alternatives to violence and the obstacles to building such an alternative world. After showing how seventeenth-century Quakers offered a different option for modernity she maps the philosophical and ethical implications of engaging with the world through beauty and its transforming power. Written for everyone interested in contemporary spirtuality it explains how Quaker ideas can provide a way to transform our violent world into one that celebrates life rather than death peace rather than violence. This work is the second of two posthumous publications to complete Grace M. Jantzen’s Death and the Displacement of Beauty collection which began with Foundations of Violence (Routledge 2004). | A Place of Springs

Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance

This volume sheds new light on one of the most remarkable polymaths of the English Renaissance. It offers original perspectives not only on Harriot’s personal achievements in mathematics and natural philosophy but also on the wider realms of exploration colonial ambition and philosophical debate in which he earned the attention and respect of contemporaries in and far beyond the socially elevated circles of his two great patrons first Walter Ralegh and then Henry Percy the ninth Earl of Northumberland.

Coaching for Professional Development Using literature to support success

Coaching for Professional Development Using literature to support success

Coaching has emerged as one of the most significant aids in developing managers and executives in the professional world. Yet there is a degree of dissatisfaction with performance coaching models and a desire to connect more with creativity and the imagination. In Coaching for Professional Development: Using Literature to Support Success Christine A. Eastman suggests that literary works have a part to play in bringing about a change in coaching culture. Using a series of examples from key literary texts she argues that literature can help coaches enhance their skills find solutions to workplace problems and better articulate their own ideas through innovation and imagination. Eastman argues for literature as a coaching tool detailing how using stories of loss failure alienation and human suffering in a coaching dialogue bring positive results to organisational coaching. Coaching for Professional Development considers how reading fiction helps us to imagine lives outside our own and how this sensitivity of language brings out the unconscious within us and others. Eastman discusses how she guided her students to embrace literature as a positive influence on their coaching practice through literary texts. Chapter 1 begins by exploring how reading Melville’s Bartleby the Scrivener allowed her students to understand the importance of metaphor in their own coaching with Chapter 2 illuminating how Cather’s Neighbor Rosicky addresses the role of emotion. After this Eastman considers how John Cheever’s multi-layered story The Swimmer provides rich stimulus for coaching students in understanding failure how Miller’s Death of a Salesman shows how our family relationships are reflected in our office dynamics and how the reactions of her students engaging with Lampedusa’s The Leopard are more effective than the traditional coaching tool Personalisis in revealing their personality. She finally looks at Shakespeare’s The Tempest for exploring themes of power and manipulation in a coaching context. By applying coaching models to fictional scenarios Eastman demonstrates that coaches HR professionals and students can successfully extend the boundaries of their coaching strengthen their interventions and enhance their understanding of theory. Coaching for Professional Development: Using Literature to Support Success is a unique approach to coaching with engaging case studies throughout that brings together higher education and industry. It will be key reading for coaches in practice and in training who wish to enhance creativity in their work advisors and teachers on coaching courses and HR and L&D professionals working in organizations seeking to implement a coaching culture. | Coaching for Professional Development Using literature to support success
