Beyond Human Perception: The Remarkable Science Of Donald R. Griffin, Gareth Jones Dec 2024

Beyond Human Perception: The Remarkable Science Of Donald R. Griffin, Gareth Jones

Animal Sentience

Carolyn Ristau shows how Donald Griffin’s revolutionary science sometimes progressed from ridicule, to opposition, to being self-evident. Griffin’s work involved phenomena beyond human perception, making it sometimes difficult for others to fathom. His work on ultrasonic echolocation, navigation and animal cognition has shifted established paradigms. His ‘zoomorphic’ approach provides a realistic framework for understanding how other animals perceive the world.

On Servant-Leadership And Quaker Influences, Paul W. Davis, Larry C. Spears Dec 2024

On Servant-Leadership And Quaker Influences, Paul W. Davis, Larry C. Spears

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

One important aspect of the Religious Society of Friends has to do with the nurturance of seekers. The very origins of the Religious Society of Friends had much to do with the fact that 17th-century English seekers were already present and listening when the prophetic visionary leadership of George Fox spoke to their hearts. Out of that union of seekers and prophet grew a powerful spiritual tradition that continues today

Serendipity In Non-Profit Founding And The Healing Response Of Two Servant-Leaders To Crises Of Migration, Michael T. Von Behren

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

This article explores the intersection of non-profit founding with elements of servant-leadership. Drawing upon current research in social entrepreneurship and non-profit founding, the article reflects on these in light of the stories of two selfless individuals, Varian Fry and Enrique Morones, whose lives of servanthood spawned the founding of two influential organizations: the Emergency Rescue Committee (ERC) and the Border Angels. While sharing the stories of these organizations, and of their founding, this article highlights issues of immigration offering a healing perspective through five themes of servant-leadership articulated by Robert K. Greenleaf revealed in the lives of these non-profit founders. …

Colloquium Servant-Leadership Interviews, Shann Ray Ferch

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The Jesuit Worldwide Learning (JWL) Colloquium is a group of PhD candidates and others united in providing equitable high quality tertiary learning to people and communities at the margins of societies. These margins, indicated by poverty, location, lack of opportunity, conflict, or forced displacement, define the nature of our shared sense of sisterhood and brotherhood worldwide. The JWL mission and works of mission, enacted daily throughout the world, fulfill Greenleaf’s best test of servant-leadership, bringing greater wisdom, health, autonomy, freedom and service to others, and helps bring about Greenleaf’s notion that the least privileged of society are benefitted and not …

Liberal Studies And Servant Leadership: Inspiring Ignatian Values At The Margins, Isabella Rega, Mélodie Honen-Delmar Dec 2024

Liberal Studies And Servant Leadership: Inspiring Ignatian Values At The Margins, Isabella Rega, Mélodie Honen-Delmar

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

This paper aims to unpack how the concept of servant leadership is perceived from Liberal Studies graduates living at the margins of society. Anchoring this research in the work of Jesuit Worldwide Learning (JWL), a faith-based organization providing higher education to displaced and poor communities, this paper seeks to deconstruct the assumption present in the literature of an ‘already-in-power’ servant leader by focusing on servant leaders in vulnerable and marginalized places, where they would be most needed. This article synthesizes the voices of more than 100 graduates from the Diploma in Liberal Studies program and looks at how graduates define …

Servant-Leadership As A Pathway To Success For Foreign-Born Leaders, Ashley Davis Dec 2024

Servant-Leadership As A Pathway To Success For Foreign-Born Leaders, Ashley Davis

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Immigrants have consistently been recognized as significant contributors to the United States economy, science, and innovation (Vandor & Franke, 2016). However, there remains a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the experiences and leadership development process of foreign-born leaders (FBLs). This article addresses this gap by highlighting the positive contributions of FBLs while noting the relatively small pool of effective FBLs in comparison to the large immigrant population in the United States, suggesting substantial untapped potential. The author explores common challenges faced by FBLs and emphasizes that overcoming these obstacles is integral to FBLs’ leadership development journey. The central argument …

Listening To The Soul’S Whisper: Embracing Silence In Coaching, Carolyn S. Roark, Chaya S. Abelsky Dec 2024

Listening To The Soul’S Whisper: Embracing Silence In Coaching, Carolyn S. Roark, Chaya S. Abelsky

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

While writings have centered on the role of silence in the coach–client relationship, the practice of listening to one’s soul is a topic that has been scantily covered in the literature. Building on a foundation of servant–leadership, emotional intelligence, and the Johari Window along with coaching techniques, this article focuses on the importance of listening to one’s soul to uncover one’s life blueprint. It is imperative for both professional coaches and clients to make a commitment to take the time to incorporate the daily practice of listening to one’s soul to unearth the wisdom and uncover the buried values found …

Servant-Leadership Practices Of Nelson Mandela, African Culture And A Thriving Future For Africa, Jeremiah Ole Koshal Dec 2024

Servant-Leadership Practices Of Nelson Mandela, African Culture And A Thriving Future For Africa, Jeremiah Ole Koshal

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

This paper examines the African cultural values and the virtues of servant-leadership as impetus of the successful leadership of Nelson Mandela, and how all these can be tapped by other African leaders in order to transition the continent into a more prosperous and promising future. Previously, authors have viewed Africa from the lenses of hopelessness due to its corrupt, self-centered and inept leadership that has led to sluggish economic growth and social disharmony. Yet since time immemorial, the African culture has had no dichotomy between service and leadership, as evidence in some of Africa’s cultural philosophies like ubuntu, which focuses …

Humility And Servant-Leadership: Toward A Solution Of Pastoral Narcissism, Luke W. R. Bryant Dec 2024

Humility And Servant-Leadership: Toward A Solution Of Pastoral Narcissism, Luke W. R. Bryant

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The world contains healthy and toxic leaders, and these leaders make an impact—for better or worse—on their followers. While healthy Christian pastors may exude humility and positively affect congregants, the issue of narcissism among pastors is more prevalent than one may expect. This article explores the literature related to humility, servant-leadership, and narcissism—painting the ideal of humble pastors, linking the ideal with servant-leadership, presenting the problem of narcissistic pastors, and moving toward the beginning stages of proposed solutions. Depending on the severity level, churches may opt for a period of renewed growth from the pastor or outright replacement of the …

Servant-Leadership, Self-Reflection, And Self-Transcendence, Ryan Schmidt Dec 2024

Servant-Leadership, Self-Reflection, And Self-Transcendence, Ryan Schmidt

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Whether it be income, gender, or race inequity, the gap between the haves and have-nots in the United States continues to increase, yet most people remain only concerned with themselves (Singh, 2012). Even without intention, injustice can fester. Following Robert Greenleaf’s (1977/2002) premise that caring for others is the foundation of a good society, servant-leadership provides a vision for doing the necessary inner work to achieve self-awareness before engaging with the outer work of the world. When individuals better understand the conditions governing their thoughts, feelings, and actions, the potential exists to achieve self-transcendence, re-orienting their lives outward in the …

The Church’S Failure To Embrace All Of God’S Beloved Creation, Kalif Crutcher Dec 2024

The Church’S Failure To Embrace All Of God’S Beloved Creation, Kalif Crutcher

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The primary aim of this article was to describe how the policies regarding same-sex marriage and unions in the Christian Methodist Episcopal church are exclusionary and oppressive. There are studies that reference the psychological and spiritual harm that the church causes when queer individuals are not embraced. Nevertheless, a secondary goal of this article is share how the church, through servant-leadership principles can explore forgiveness seeking and an affirmative theological position of inclusion whereby queer congregants are cared for and supported.

Bridging The Tragic Gap With Servant-Leadership: An Exploration Of Stewardship And Healing, Jamie Noling-Auth Dec 2024

Bridging The Tragic Gap With Servant-Leadership: An Exploration Of Stewardship And Healing, Jamie Noling-Auth

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

This article utilizes servant-leadership theory to engage with the leadership predicament that theologian Parker Palmer calls “the tragic gap”—the disparity between a hopeful vision for good and the reality of humanity’s propensity for violence. Utilizing two of servant-leadership theory’s ten characteristics, this article explores how stewardship and healing might serve the servant-leader who wishes to bridge the tragic gap. Through a survey of interdisciplinary literature, this article concludes that essential actions of stewardship and healing include: honoring human dignity, care-giving, love, responsibility, and forgiveness.

This article examines the servant-leadership of Martin Luther King Jr. through a book review of Jonathan Eig’s landmark biography King: A Life and an interview with the author. The article begins with a reflection on King’s servant-leadership through Greenleaf’s notions of power, strength, and growth through loss. Implications for servant-leader moral development based on reports of possible ethical failures by King are also considered.

The Boland Hall Fire: A Case Study On Campus Crisis And The Role Of Servant-Leadership In Institutional Healing, Costin Thampikutty

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The application of servant-leadership in crisis response within Catholic higher education has not been explored. Thus, this essay analyzes the Boland Hall Fire at Seton Hall University to further understand the nuances of servant-leadership in times of crises, and to examine how the principles of servant-leadership can play and cultivate institution-wide healing. By studying artifacts that display how Seton Hall University’s President, administration, and students displayed servant-leadership, this case study emphasizes the role of servant-leadership as an advantagous tool for Catholic higher education leaders in times of crisis.

Introduction To Song’S “Persuasion Vs. Coercion Or Persuasion And Coercion”, Larry C. Spears Dec 2024

Introduction To Song’S “Persuasion Vs. Coercion Or Persuasion And Coercion”, Larry C. Spears

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

I am happy to have been invited to add some brief introductory comments to the wonderful paper by Jiying Song and the essay by Robert K. Greenleaf which is included. To start, Song’s paper is a powerful engagement of Robert K. Greenleaf’s essay, “Overcome Evil with Good,” which appeared in the May 15, 1977 edition of Friends Journal. While Greenleaf addressed in several of his writings the themes of persuasion, manipulation, and coercion, and contrasted Mahatma Gandhi’s and John Woolman’s approaches to change, nowhere did he do so as fully and passionately as he did in the original Friends Journal …

Servant-Leadership: Forgiving Others In The Restoration Of Community, Ryan Schmidt, Kelly (Sasha) Dailey Dec 2024

Servant-Leadership: Forgiving Others In The Restoration Of Community, Ryan Schmidt, Kelly (Sasha) Dailey

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Servant-Leadership, Feminism, and Gender Well-Being (Song et al., 2022) serves as a source of inspiration and hope when engaging with the complexities of the modern world, one marked by a growing division between people and an increased entrenchment of ideals. In looking to servant-leadership as a guide for navigating the emotional and deeply personal rhetoric pervading public forums, learnings can be found beyond the established dominant-group ideologies and mainstream reasonings. The purpose of this article is to explore how servant-leadership, an emerging leadership theory that acknowledges one’s natural feeling to serve others’ highest priority needs (Greenleaf 1977/2002), can provide a …

An Examination Of Followers’ Motivation To Serve As An Antecedent Of Servant-Leadership In Uk Organisations, Ijeoma G. Ukeni Dec 2024

An Examination Of Followers’ Motivation To Serve As An Antecedent Of Servant-Leadership In Uk Organisations, Ijeoma G. Ukeni

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Motivation to serve is conceptualised as an antecedent of servant-leadership but is mostly studied from the leaders’ perspective. Yet, as in any dyadic relationship, exploring the followers’ perspective is crucial, particularly as servant-leadership is an acclaimed follower-centric leadership theory. Hence, this quantitative study is a departure from the norm with a focus on the followers’ motivation to serve (MTS). Premised on the social learning theory, data was collected from 208 respondents in UK private and public organisations using existing and adapted questionnaire surveys that were statistically analysed. The results show a correlation between motivation to serve and servant-leadership but suggest …

A Qualitative Exploration Of Relations Between Salutogenesis And Persistent Music Performance Among Refugees Resettled In The United States, Bernard Austin Kigunda Muriithi, Jennifer Muriithi Dec 2024

A Qualitative Exploration Of Relations Between Salutogenesis And Persistent Music Performance Among Refugees Resettled In The United States, Bernard Austin Kigunda Muriithi, Jennifer Muriithi

Communication Disorders and Occupational Therapy Faculty Publications and Presentations

In its broadest meaning, salutogenesis denotes an orientation toward the origins and assets for positive health, as opposed to the origins and risk factors associated with disease (i.e., pathogenesis). While salutogenesis continues to inspire health promotion, it has been noted that qualitative studies can further its understanding and broaden its use in research, clinical practice, and policies. The present study is based on an analysis of structured and unstructured recorded interviews with six refugee musicians. Applying interpretive phenomenological analysis, we comparatively explored the factors contributing to persistence in music between participants. Five factors were found: (a) long-term participation and identity …

Beyond Average Effects In Education Research Syntheses: Explaining Heterogeneity Of Concept Mapping Research In Science Education Through Meta-Regression Modeling, Aaron Wenger Dec 2024

Beyond Average Effects In Education Research Syntheses: Explaining Heterogeneity Of Concept Mapping Research In Science Education Through Meta-Regression Modeling, Aaron Wenger

Dissertations

Contemporary education research seeks causal inferences in order to guide policy and practice. Often well-controlled quasi-experimental and experimental designs are used as they are very useful for supporting and contextualizing causal inferences. Nevertheless, individual studies, even high-quality, resource-intensive randomized controlled trials, are not able to establish generalized claims. Because primary studies vary over dozens of variables (e.g., grade, subject, duration) simply conducting additional primary studies cannot change this. Furthermore, the informal assessments of primary studies common in literature reviews are unable to resolve certain challenges (e.g., publication bias) that are described in the emerging field of meta-research. These challenges require …

Persuasion Vs. Coercion Or Persuasion And Coercion, Jiying Song Dec 2024

Persuasion Vs. Coercion Or Persuasion And Coercion, Jiying Song

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

This article explores the nuanced distinctions between persuasion and coercion through Robert K. Greenleaf’s 1977 article “Overcome Evil with Good.” Greenleaf’s comparisons of John Woolman, John Whittier, and Mohandas Gandhi highlight the complexities and consequences of their methods in combating societal evils. Woolman’s gentle persuasion contrasts with Whittier’s fiery abolitionism and Gandhi’s nonviolent resistance, which Greenleaf critiques as coercive and leading to violence. The article examines the controversy sparked by Greenleaf’s views, including reader responses and the impact on his subsequent writings, supported by unpublished manuscripts and correspondence from Greenleaf’s archives. It engages with philosophical perspectives on persuasion and coercion, …

The Practice Of Servant-Leadership In Academic Advising, Jeffrey L. Mcclellan

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Servant-leadership and academic advising are closely related concepts. Both are concerned with supporting the growth and development of others through intentional influence processes. While some research has been done to explore the conceptual connections between them, little has been done to identify the specific practices of servant-advisors. This article examines the principles and practices of servant-leadership and offers insight regarding specific practices of servant-leadership that relate to academic advising. These include managing one’s motives, relationship building, compassionate communication, and positive coaching.

A (Great) Many Of Many Constructions, Jim Wood, Squid Tamar-Mattis Dec 2024

A (Great) Many Of Many Constructions, Jim Wood, Squid Tamar-Mattis

Yale Working Papers in Grammatical Diversity

In this paper, we discuss a series of constructions across various English dialects involving the word many, drawing examples from the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE) and web searches. The constructions include both standard and colloquial forms, including formally singular and plural constructions, as well as those employing a lot of and a great many. We connect these constructions to existing linguistic analyses, particularly those proposed by Kayne (2002, 2006, 2007a,b, 2017).

Multi-Objective Optimization Of The Layout Of Tall Building Sites In Dense Urban Configurations For Improved Sustainability Outcomes, Grant Mosey, Brian Deal Dec 2024

Multi-Objective Optimization Of The Layout Of Tall Building Sites In Dense Urban Configurations For Improved Sustainability Outcomes, Grant Mosey, Brian Deal

Architecture Faculty Research

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms have long been used by architects to find objective solutions to complex building problems involving trade-offs implicit in sustainable building design. At a larger scale, urban designers have created a variety of tools to improve sustainability in urban-and-larger scale design. However, to date, fewer studies have focused on improving sustainability outcomes at the “in between” scale of the neighborhood and urban site. Existing scholarship on optimization at this scale has tended to take a narrow view of sustainability. We seek to expand the implementation of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms to this sometimes overlooked scale while taking a broad …

Identifying The Lithologies And Thicknesses Of Coal Seam Roofs And Floors Based On Multiparameter Logging Of Boreholes, Li Zhe, Gao Baobin, Lei Wenjie, Li Donghui, Li Zixin Dec 2024

Identifying The Lithologies And Thicknesses Of Coal Seam Roofs And Floors Based On Multiparameter Logging Of Boreholes, Li Zhe, Gao Baobin, Lei Wenjie, Li Donghui, Li Zixin

Coal Geology & Exploration

Background In the process of coal mining, effective exploration methods for stratigraphic characteristics are crucial to underground operations. The reason is that the accurate stratigraphic characteristics of coal seams, along with the surrounding rocks of coal seam roofs and floors, facilitate the treatment of gas in coal seams, thereby ensuring safe and efficient coal mining. Methods Based on the multiparameter logging of boreholes crossing strata in a bottom drainage roadway, this study highlighted the lowstand, upgoing borehole trajectories, as well as the variations in parameters including natural gamma rays, spontaneous potential, and resistivity. By comprehensive comparison of the trajectories, video-derived …

Function Over Form: The Benefits Of Aspen As Surrogate Brood-Rearing Habitat For Greater Sage-Grouse, Michel T. Kohl, Charles P. Sandford, Paul C. Rogers, Renee Chi, Terry A. Messmer, David K. Dahlgren

Aspen Bibliography

Species of conservation concern are often habitat specialists, posing significant risk to those species when specific plant communities are threatened. As a result, practitioners habitually focus conservation efforts on these communities while ignoring ecological mechanisms that explain the wildlife–plant relationships. In doing so, practitioners may overlook alternative vegetation communities that could maintain wildlife populations under alternative conditions (e.g., climate change). Here, we term these areas surrogate habitat, defined as vegetation communities or resource sites that provide similar critical resources as conventional sites, and assess their potential for conservation using a case study of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) on …
