Packed with real-life examples of questions, issues, and situations that stem from the authors’ and their students’ research, …


Incorporating Embodied Cognition Into Sensemaking Theory: A Theoretical Integration Of Embodied Processes In A Leadership Context, Allison O'Malley, S. Ritchie, R. Lord, J. Gregory, C. Young Dec 2014

Incorporating Embodied Cognition Into Sensemaking Theory: A Theoretical Integration Of Embodied Processes In A Leadership Context, Allison O'Malley, S. Ritchie, R. Lord, J. Gregory, C. Young

Alison L. O'Malley

Despite growing recognition across a number of disciplines that cognitive processes are based in the body's interaction with the environment (e.g., Wilson, 2002), the body is afforded a negligible role in current conceptualizations of cognition in organizations. For instance, Hodgkinson and Healey's (2008) recent review of cognition in organizations makes no mention of how the body is implicated in cognitive processing. Perspectives that recognize the body's fundamental involvement in cognitive processing are referred to as embodied cognitive approaches. Embodied cognitive approaches view the representation of knowledge as dependent on brain structures involved in perception, action, and introspection rather than based …

Indiana, Susan R. Adams Jul 2014

Indiana, Susan R. Adams

Susan Adams

Indiana was admitted to the Union as the 19th state on December 11, 1816. Corydon, Indiana, located in southern Indiana, was the first state capitol until 1825, when the capital was moved to a more central location in Indianapolis. Indiana, located in the midwest, was formerly part of the Indiana Territory, dissolved in 1798. The first governor of the territory was William Henry Harrison, who served from 1800 until 1813. Harrison later became the into president of the United States, in 1840. Two constitutions have been ratified in Indiana: the first in 1816, and the current constitution in 1851. Indiana …


English Proficiency / Fluent English Proficient Students, Susan R. Adams Jul 2014

English Proficiency / Fluent English Proficient Students, Susan R. Adams

Susan Adams

K-12 students whose first language is not English are identified upon enrollment in U.S. schools through a home language survey and are immediately assessed to determine whether English as a second language (ESL) services are required. Students who do not pass this initial screening assessment are classified as English Language Learners (ELLs), or as limited English proficiency (LEP) students, and are identified to receive school-provided English language development (ELD) and accommodations. Students who pass the initial screener or who demonstrate English proficiency two years in a row on state-mandated annual assessments are deemed fluent or fully English proficient (FEP) students …

Multitier Screening And Identification, Lee Wilkinson Dec 2013

Multitier Screening And Identification, Lee Wilkinson

Lee A Wilkinson, PhD

Although autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects approximately 1% of the school-age population, it is not unusual for children with mild levels of impairment to remain unidentified until well after entering school. A recent study examining the timing of identification among children with autism using a population-based sample from an ongoing surveillance effort across 13 sites in the United States found the gap between potential and actual age of identification (for those identified) to be in the range of 2.7 to 3.7 years. Combined with the fact that more than one quarter of cases were never identified as having ASD through …


Juki Girls: Gender, Globalization, And The Stigma Of Garment Factory Work, Caitrin Lynch Sep 2013

Juki Girls: Gender, Globalization, And The Stigma Of Garment Factory Work, Caitrin Lynch

Caitrin Lynch

The Sri Lanka Reader is a sweeping introduction to the epic history of the island nation located just off the southern tip of India. The island’s recorded history of more than two and a half millennia encompasses waves of immigration from the South Asian subcontinent, the formation of Sinhala Buddhist and Tamil Hindu civilizations, the arrival of Arab Muslim traders, and European colonization by the Portuguese, then the Dutch, and finally the British. Selected texts depict perceptions of the country’s multiple linguistic and religious communities, as well as its political travails after independence in 1948, especially the ethnic violence that …


Introduction: Transitions And Transformations: Paradigms, Perspectives, And Possibilities, Caitrin Lynch, Jason Danely Sep 2013

Introduction: Transitions And Transformations: Paradigms, Perspectives, And Possibilities, Caitrin Lynch, Jason Danely

Caitrin Lynch

Rapid population aging, once associated with only a select group of modern industrialized nations, has now become a topic of increasing global concern. This volume reframes aging on a global scale by illustrating the multiple ways it is embedded within individual, social, and cultural life courses. It presents a broad range of ethnographic work, introducing a variety of conceptual and methodological approaches to studying life-course transitions in conjunction with broader sociocultural transformations. Through detailed accounts, in such diverse settings as nursing homes in Sri Lanka, a factory in Massachusetts, cemeteries in Japan and clinics in Mexico, the authors explore not …

Economic Liberalization, Nationalism, And Women's Morality In Sri Lanka, Caitrin Lynch May 2012

Economic Liberalization, Nationalism, And Women's Morality In Sri Lanka, Caitrin Lynch

Caitrin Lynch

Economy, Culture, and Civil War in Sri Lanka provides a lucid and up-to-date interpretation of Sri Lankan society and its 20-year civil conflict. An interdisciplinary examination of the relationship between the economy, broadly defined, and the reproduction of violent conflict, this volume argues that the war is grounded not just in the goals and intentions of the opposing sides, but also in the everyday orientations, experiences, and material practices of all Sri Lankan people. The contributors explore changing political and policy contexts; the effect of long-term conflict on employment opportunities and life choices for rural and urban youth; life histories, …


Developmental And Narrative Perspectives On Religious And Spiritual Identity Development For Clinicians, Paul Wink, Jonathan Adler, Michele Dillon Apr 2012

Developmental And Narrative Perspectives On Religious And Spiritual Identity Development For Clinicians, Paul Wink, Jonathan Adler, Michele Dillon

Jonathan M. Adler

Identity gives an individual a sense of sameness and continuity (Erikson, 1968) and provides answers to questions about the nature, purpose, and meaning of life (Kiesling, Sorell, Montgomery, & Colwell, 2006). William James (1910/1968) placed spiritual identity, encompassing intellectual, moral, and emotional development at the center of personality. Given that the search for personal meaning is a vital component of a person's identity, it is not surprising that religion and spirituality play a key role in the identity development of many Americans.


Telling Stories About Therapy: Ego Development, Well-Being, And The Therapeutic Relationship, Jonathan Adler, Dan Mcadams Apr 2012

Telling Stories About Therapy: Ego Development, Well-Being, And The Therapeutic Relationship, Jonathan Adler, Dan Mcadams

Jonathan M. Adler

We need narratives of relationships to understand them precisely because relationships have idiosyncratic meanings in a life. The authors looked at one of the best-researched and documented relationships within psychology--that of the psychotherapy relationship--and investigated the different ways in which this relationship is retrospectively narrated by different groups of people. They discovered that people high in ego development but low in well-being featured the therapeutic relationship prominently in their stories whereas those at high levels of both deemphasized the role of their therapist in their narratives. In this chapter, the authors raise questions about the narrative patterns of relational dynamics …


How Does Personality Develop?, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler Apr 2012

How Does Personality Develop?, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler

Jonathan M. Adler

There are good reasons to be skeptical about any efforts to bring together two fields of inquiry that have historically had little to do with each other - that is, personality psychology and the study of human development. Personality psychologists are by training, and maybe even temperament, suspicious of the idea of development, for to them it means change (i.s. instability, inconsistency), and personality is nothing if it is not at least somewhat enduring. Developmentalists, on the other hand, specialize in a certain kind of change - meaningful and orderly change over time.


Autobiographical Memory And The Construction Of A Narrative Identity: Theory, Research, And Clinical Implications, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler Apr 2012

Autobiographical Memory And The Construction Of A Narrative Identity: Theory, Research, And Clinical Implications, Dan Mcadams, Jonathan Adler

Jonathan M. Adler

Going back to Freud, cliniciants have listened to, tried to understand, and tried to change the stories their patients tell them. Different therapeutic approaches have tended to privilege different kinds of stories to suggest different strategies interpretation and intervention. Classic psychoanalysis, for example, has traditionally sought to unmask the disguised meanings of manifest dream narratives. Carl Rogers taught an emphatic stance toward life narrative: Therapists were to encourage and affirm their clients' autobiographical recollections, holding back critical judgment and expressing the necessary unconditional positive regard through which a client might eventually actualize the good inner self.

Seeking The Spotlight: Wwviews And The Us Media Context, Jen Schneider, Jason Delborne Jan 2012

Seeking The Spotlight: Wwviews And The Us Media Context, Jen Schneider, Jason Delborne

Jen Schneider

This chapter focuses on the development and implementation of various media plans and strategies for World Wide Views on Global Warming (WWV) in the United States. While we aim to consider the U.S. case within the larger context of global media coverage of WWV, we focus primarily on the U.S. for two reasons: first, our participation in the U.S. WWV team provides rich understanding of efforts to attract U.S. media, and second, the U.S. media landscape and norms create particular challenges of garnering media coverage for an event like WWV that may not translate to other cultural contexts. Further collaborative …

Sitting At The Nexus Of Epistemological Traditions: Narrative Psychological Perspectives On Self-Knowledge, Jonathan Adler Dec 2011

Sitting At The Nexus Of Epistemological Traditions: Narrative Psychological Perspectives On Self-Knowledge, Jonathan Adler

Jonathan M. Adler

To inquire about self knowledge implicitly suggests that there is a self that can be known in a verifiable way. Several psychological disciplines have developed creative and innovative methods for identifying and overcoming barriers to assessing the self in an objective manner. Yet from the perspectives adopted by the growing field of narrative psychology, the very mission of identifying objective self-knowledge is fraught. One of the most exciting elements of the field of narrative psychology is its location at the nexus of two epistemological traditions. On the one hand, narrative psychologists share many of the same concerns with validity, reliability, …


Information Literacy Reality Check, Nancy H. Seamans Dec 2011

Information Literacy Reality Check, Nancy H. Seamans

Nancy Seamans

As the information literacy movement moves into its third decade, it is appropriate to look at the state of information-literacy implementation and how it has been integrated into the lives of our libraries and our colleges and universities. In a library environment of significant change and competing agendas, library administrators must make difficult decisions about how to distribute resources and how to have the most impact on their varied constituent groups. As one of many initiatives that are important in the contemporary academic research library, can information literacy be one that is deemed a success or is there still work …
