Communication in Organizations Basic Skills and Conversation Models

One of the most important requirements of leadership is effective communication. The idea that some people are natural leaders and that others will never learn to show good leadership is now outdated. It has been replaced by the conviction that leadership and communication skills can be learnt. This second edition of Communication in Organizations continues to give clear advice and guidance on communicating in a range of different contexts in the workplace. From handling complaints and breaking bad news to negotiating deals and giving presentations it explores the building blocks to effective communication skills nurturing the leadership qualities required in any organization. By defining the abstract concepts of ‘organization’ and ‘communication’ it provides readers with the necessary skills to conduct any conversation on a professional manner. Illustrated with concrete examples throughout this new edition includes a new chapter on career coaching with exercises and ideas for role-play to enable the ideas to come alive. The three parts work seamlessly to expand the readers’ conversation skill-set as they progress through the book. Communication in Organizations is an invaluable resource for students of management and business psychology as well as those taking courses who are already in the workplace. The practical aspects compliment both introductory and advanced courses in interpersonal communication leadership and business and professional communication. | Communication in Organizations Basic Skills and Conversation Models

Multimodal Conversation Analysis and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis A Methodological Framework for Researching Translanguaging in

Multimodal Conversation Analysis and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis A Methodological Framework for Researching Translanguaging in

This book presents the methodological framework of combining Multimodal Conversation Analysis (MCA) with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to interpretively analyse translanguaging practices in educational contexts. Beginning with an overview of the three uses of translanguaging—translanguaging as a theory of language as a pedagogical practice and as an analytical perspective—the book goes on to critically examine the different methodological approaches for analysing translanguaging practices in multilingual classroom interactions. It explains how MCA and IPA are useful methodologies for understanding how and why translanguaging practices are constructed by participants in the classroom and discusses types of data collected and data collection procedures. The author Kevin W. H. Tai shows how combining these approaches enables researchers to study how translanguaging practices are constructed in multilingual classrooms and how teachers make sense of their own translanguaging practices at particular moments of classroom interaction. This detailed and concise guide is indispensable for students practitioners policymakers and researchers from across the globe particularly those working in the fields of applied linguistics and language education. | Multimodal Conversation Analysis and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis A Methodological Framework for Researching Translanguaging in

In Conversation with Karen Barad Doings of Agential Realism

In Conversation with Karen Barad Doings of Agential Realism

In Conversation with Karen Barad: Doings of Agential Realism is an accessible introduction to Karen Barad’s agential realist philosophy. The authors take on a unique approach to involve the readers in in/formal conversations between Karen postgraduate and other researchers at a research event held in 2017 at Cape Town South Africa. It features chapters that have been contributed by seminar delegates and organisers which put forth the continuing impact that Karen Barad has had on their empirical work research writing and drawing practices. The text further discusses the ethical and political significance of Karen’s work especially in the context of de/colonizing South African higher education. The chapters offer a series of worked posthumanist pedagogical examples and describe how a research seminar was organised differently and more in line with Baradian radical philosophy. At its heart this book makes a methodological and pedagogical contribution to the surge in literature on agential realism whilst simultaneously challenging dominant research binaries and arguing for a more egalitarian way of working together in knowledge-creation by troubling human and more-than-human hierarchies. The book’s uniqueness is further fortified through its description of in/formal conversations which are diffracted through chapters a doing of agential realism to reconfigure relationships between lecturer and student expert and novice supervisor and supervised researcher and research participants. These radical conversations are dis/continuing. This book will be invaluable for students and individuals interested in advancing their understanding of agential realism and Karen Barad’s influence at large as well as students and scholars interested in postqualitative methods in all disciplines. | In Conversation with Karen Barad Doings of Agential Realism

The Ethics of Becoming a Good Teacher In Conversation with Aristotle and Confucius

The Ethics of Becoming a Good Teacher In Conversation with Aristotle and Confucius

This book explores Aristotelian and Confucian wisdom traditions to understand education and what counts as a good teacher in an embodied dialogic approach. The book creates a dialogue between ancient ideas and the author’s lived experiences as a teacher in cross-cultural landscapes today to ruminate on the important themes of educational purpose teacher excellence teacher-student relationships and teaching skill. It asks fundamental educational questions including Why Do We Educate? Eudaimonia and Dao; What Do We Educate? Phronesis Philia and Ren; and How Do We Educate? Techne and Liuyi. Moving beyond the dominant epistemological concerns such as how to teach more effectively to help students gain better marks in schools it constitutes an ethical inquiry that illuminates the values purposes concerns and hopes that animate genuinely educational work. Using a comparative approach to wisdom traditions from both the East and the West it addresses parochialism and challenges Eurocentric research paradigms. Embedded in the messy ground of teaching in intergenerational and cross-cultural narratives the author’s own experiences as a student/teacher/daughter of a teacher/mother of a student crucially unpacks and concretizes ancient concepts and reactivates them in concrete situations. A sense of a whole without completeness a conception of the good without closure and an aspiration without achievement continue to haunt the search for an ultimate answer to the question what counts as a good teacher?. It will appeal to scholars teachers and teacher educators with an interest in narrative inquiry and educational research as well as those in the field of curriculum studies and the philosophy of education. | The Ethics of Becoming a Good Teacher In Conversation with Aristotle and Confucius

Film Criticism as a Cultural Institution

Film Criticism as a Cultural Institution

At the beginning of the 21st century film criticism was described as in crisis. The decline of print journalism a series of lay-offs of prominent critics and the rise of amateur reviewing online spurred a conversation about the decline even death of film criticism. This discourse flourished in part because film criticism has been little examined in scholarship to date. This book takes a deeper look at film criticism by focusing on its institutional contours. This is achieved through a combination of archival research and interviews with prominent film critics and stakeholders including Adrian Martin (LOLA) Stephanie Zacharek (Time) Peter Bart (Variety) and Andrew Sarris (The Village Voice). Film Criticism as a Cultural Institution first examines the contemporary crisis conversation surrounding film criticism comparing this to historical precedents. It then provides what today’s crisis conversation does not: an account of film criticism’s institutional formations. Using primarily U. S. and Australian case studies based on interviews observation and archival research—as well as accounts from other national schools—the book maps contemporary film criticism. Across various sites such as publications or online spaces and organisations such as film critics circles it elucidates film criticism’s institutional practices tasks comportments and personae. Looking at the history of conversations about film criticism shows us that crisis has always been a leitmotif. While acknowledging the considerable changes and challenges that film criticism faces today this book situates these within an historical context and proposes an institutional framework that allows us to move beyond crisis discourse. Looking at film criticism in this way allows us to see that the very question of what counts as film criticism is continually contested within an institutional ecology made up of distinctive critica

Midcourse Correction for the College Classroom Putting Small Group Instructional Diagnosis to Work

Midcourse Correction for the College Classroom Putting Small Group Instructional Diagnosis to Work

This book is about using the Small Group Instructional Diagnosis (SGID) method to make improvements to the educational experience midcourse. The idea is to use this structured interview process to involve students in helping faculty improve a course while they are in it potentially making a difference for themselves as well as for future students. Faculty gain the opportunity to work on a course before it ends and can see what changes work without waiting for the next time the course is offered or the end of semester student evaluations. SGID is a consultation method developed to collect midsemester feedback from students using structured small and large group conversations involving four conversations between students a learned colleague the authors refer to as the SGID consultant and the instructor. First student talk with each other in small groups about the learning happening in a course under the guidance of a consultant (SGID Conversation #1- Student & Students). Then the SGID consultant engages the students in a conversation about how the feedback provided impacts the learning in the course (SGID Conversation #2 - Students & Consultant). Then there is a conversation between the consultant and the instructor where they discuss how the feedback provided by the students can best inform the pedagogical approaches and strategies used by the instructor (SGID Conversation #3 - Consultant & Instructor). Finally the instructor closes the feedback loop with a conversation with their students about what they learned and how best to move forward (SGID Conversation #4 - Instructor & Students). These conversations during the middle of the semester change the way students think about the teaching and learning endeavor the way instructors perceive the learning challenges of their courses and the quality of the institutional academic culture. Most importantly the SGID equips the instructor with the knowledge to make midsemester course corrections that can profoundly impact the ways students navigate the course communicate with the instructor and realize the ways effective teaching can enhance learning. | Midcourse Correction for the College Classroom Putting Small Group Instructional Diagnosis to Work

Pluriversal Conversations on Transnational Feminisms And Words Collide from a Place

Pluriversal Conversations on Transnational Feminisms And Words Collide from a Place

This edited volume brings transnational feminisms in conversation with intersectional and decolonial approaches. The conversation is pluriversal; it voices and reflects upon a plurality of geo- and corpopolitical as well as epistemic locations in specific Global South/East/North/West contexts. The aim is to explore analytical modes that encourage transgressing methodological nationalisms which sustain unequal global power relations and which are still ingrained in the disciplinary perspectives that define much social science and humanities research. A main focus of the volume is methodological. It asks how an engagement with transnational intersectional and decolonial feminisms can stimulate border crossings. Boundaries in academic knowledge-building shaped by the limitations imposed by methodological nationalisms are challenged in the book. The same applies to boundaries of conventional ・ disembodied and ethically unaffected ・ academic writing modes. The transgressive methodological aims are also pursued through mixing genres and shifting boundaries between academic and creative writing. Pluriversal Conversations on Transnational Feminisms is intended for broad global audiences of researchers teachers professionals students (from undergraduate to postgraduate levels) activists and NGOs interested in questions about decoloniality intersectionality and transnational feminisms as well as in methodologies for boundary transgressing knowledge-building. | Pluriversal Conversations on Transnational Feminisms And Words Collide from a Place

Making Inclusive Higher Education a Reality Creating a University for All

What Makes Life Meaningful? A Debate

What Makes Life Meaningful? A Debate

Can human life be meaningful? What does talk about life’s meaning even mean? What is God’s role if any in a meaningful life? These three questions frame this one-of-a-kind debate between two philosophers who have spent most of their professional lives thinking and writing about the topic of life’s meaning. In this wide-ranging scholarly conversation Professors Thaddeus Metz and Joshua W. Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these questions while responding to each other’s objections in a lively dialog format. Seachris argues that the concept of life’s meaning largely revolves around three interconnected ideas—mattering purpose and sense-making; that a meaningful human life involves sufficiently manifesting all three; and that God would importantly enhance the meaningfulness of life on each of these three fronts. Metz instead holds that talk of life’s meaning is about a variety of properties such as meriting pride transcending one’s animal self making a contribution and authoring a life-story. For him many lives are meaningful insofar as they exercise intelligence in positive robust and developmental ways. Finally Metz argues that God is unnecessary for an objective meaning that suits human nature. Metz and Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these three questions while responding to each other’s objections in a dialog format that is accessible to students though—given their new contributions—will be of great interest to scholars as well. Key Features Offers an up-to-date scholarly conversation on life’s meaning by two researchers at the forefront of research on the topic. Provides a wide-ranging yet orderly discussion of the most important issues. Accessible for the student investigating the topic for the first time yet also valuable to the scholar working on life’s meaning. Includes helpful pedagogical features like:- Chapter outlines and introductions;- Annotated reading lists for both students and research-level readers;- A glossary; and- Clear examples thought experiments narratives and cultural references which enhance the book’s role in thinking about life’s meaning and related topics. | What Makes Life Meaningful?
