Liberating The Whole Self Through Leadership, Abby Morioka, Stefanie Marlow, Nick Peralta

Payne Center for Leadership Development Student Leadership Conference

Breakout Session #1Liberation is the freedom from limits, thoughts, and/or behaviors that would keep us stuck or imprisoned. The work of leadership is the act of looking to the needs of others that you lead by fighting for their good and well-being. The starting point of this leadership style focuses on freeing ourselves from thoughts, limits, and/or behaviors that keep us stuck. Liberating leadership is the act of bridging a gap between personal change and systematic change through authentically showing up powerfully and consistently for yourself and others.

Wellness For Student Leaders: Peer Health Educators’ Approach To The Eight Dimensions Of Well-Being, Katie Warnke, Amelia Stabler, Zia Meyers

Payne Center for Leadership Development Student Leadership Conference

Breakout Session #1Student leaders play an important role in holding conversations around health and wellness on a college campus. Knowing about the Eight Dimensions of Well-Being—social, environmental, spiritual, financial, physical, emotional, intellectual, and occupational—and understanding how they impact people that leaders serve is imperative. It is also critical that student leaders are informed about these eight dimensions for endorsing their own wellness. Supporting and leading others can be a daunting task that demands a lot of people, especially student leaders. Peer Health Educators encourage student leaders to invest in strategies to develop self-care and resiliency. Informed student leaders take …

An Attitude Of Openness: Adapting Body Neutrality For Performers, Kerstin A. Vaughn, Emily Baird

Feminist Pedagogy

For performers, specifically dancers and actors, the body constitutes the vast majority of focus and training. It is what we present onstage, share with audiences, and contract to casting directors and choreographers. Our bodies, the way they look and move, directly influence the amount and quality of work we make. The concept of body neutrality, then, poses an interesting challenge for performers and those of us who train them. How do we balance a healthy relationship with the body while also thinking critically about all of the ways our bodies carry meaning in performance? How do we, as educators, promote …

Queering ‘Common Sense’: Using Critical Discourse Analysis Of Lgbtq+ Book Bans In Florida Public Schools To Unmask Heteronormativity, Talia Zito, Nicole E. Morse

Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy

Historically, censorship of LGBTQ+ content in education has been rooted in socio-political efforts to marginalize non-heteronormative identities. However, even those who oppose censorship tend to frame their arguments around concepts like “age-appropriateness” and “protecting children.” Our Critical Discourse Analysis examines formal challenges to And Tango Makes Three in one Florida school district in 2022 to show how these concepts are deployed on both sides of the debate. The book, depicting a same-sex penguin couple raising a chick, faced objections under Florida’s HB 1557, a law designed to restrict discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. Ultimately, the picture …

Relationship Between Adjunct Faculty Workplace Inclusion And Burnout In Online Universities, Allisson Kinkade

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Online universities rely on adjunct faculty even though including them in institutional processes is challenging and might be related to burnout. The relationship between the level of workplace inclusion and burnout of adjunct faculty has not been investigated. The purpose of this quantitative study was to explore the relationship between the level of workplace inclusion and burnout of adjunct faculty at online universities, moderated by instructor age, gender, and the number of years teaching as an adjunct. The conservation of resource theory by Hobfoll was used as the theoretical framework. For this quantitative nonexperimental correlational research design, data from 104 …
