Antioch University Dissertations & Theses
Standing by my bedroom window, looking out at the ocean, a huge wave comes and swallows up my building. Everything around me is gone, including me. I wake up. I am 13 years old and living in the Coney Island Houses on Surf Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. With ongoing anthropogenic changes to the natural environment such as sea level rise and intensifying storms, coastal communities, especially ones segregated by class and culture, are particularly vulnerable in this context that challenges a way of life, and in some instances, threatens that life's survival. This dissertation focuses specifically on what one massive …

The former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon (2014), repeated the core promise in the 1986 UN Declaration on the Right to Development, in which the General Assembly called for an approach guaranteeing meaningful participation of everyone in development and the fair distribution of the benefits of that development. To this end, partnerships are central and can lead to the dignity of the citizens involved as they participate in the development of their own communities. This dissertation research conducted in Manyatta A and B in the Port City of Kisumu, Kenya sought to do just that. The purpose of this study …

When Rodin first felt the looseness of the white Dominican robe Balzac wore to write in, his hands went still in the clay. He stood for a long while, learning the cloth’s heavy fall, letting it find its way to Balzac’s hands, which would hold the robe closed from within, simplifying the figure until nothing human would be noticed but the head in its defiance of a bronze repose.

I hear the garland steps …. zamzamzamzam. Who is coming? ‘Tis our king our manager. He’s got water in his bowl and towel on his shoulders. Would he wash my legs too? Such reversal! Never, not me a follower! That humbles Him too low! Perhaps such preferred humility is not subordination. He’s got reserved power in his hands and remains first amongst equals.

The year 2020 has been most challenging for many people all over the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has left almost no one’s life untouched. George Floyd’s death and other race-related incidents also unsettled the world to its core. Ancient lamentation resonates with us today: “How lonely sits the city that once was full of people” (Lamentations 1:1a, NRSV). The statistics help tell the story of this year. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2020) and Johns Hopkins University & Medicine (2020) has confirmed more than 33 million COVID-19 cases worldwide and more than one million deaths in 216 countries.

Aquestion was asked of me by the inimitable Nike Imoru, a North Londoner raised in Nigeria, an exceptional casting director, and the first woman and person of color to gain a tenured position in the Theatre Department at Hull in the UK (when she was only twenty-eight.) The question: What is your understanding of the masculine in America? Nike’s presence is water from a deep well. Her direction elicited the following.

Perceived Servant-Leadership Affects Job Satisfaction In Higher Education: A Literature Review, Haroon Rasheed Baqai
International Journal of Servant-Leadership
Faculty and staff play a vital role in the success of higher education institutions and thus are critical assets for colleges and universities (Bateh & Heyliger, 2014; Cordeiro, 2010; Ragaisis, 2018). Satisfied faculty and staff enhance organizational effectiveness by improving the learning environment for students, enhancing student performance, and boosting the institution’s public image (Chen, Yang, Shiau, & Wang, 2006; Siddique, Aslam, Khan, & Fatima, 2011) and long-term success (Kebede & Demeke, 2017). Job satisfaction (JS) is increasingly the focus in managing higher education institutions. High JS among faculty and staff improves productivity and cuts costs by reducing underperformance (Webb, …

Servant-Leadership And Trust Between Teachers And Principals, Brent Kuykendall, Charles L. Slater
International Journal of Servant-Leadership
A school district in the northeast had as its motto for many years, “We serve youth, that youth may learn to serve.” At first glance, the idea of serving youth may seem overly permissive, but this concept of service did not mean waiting on students, but rather creating an environment in which they would be challenged with a focus on their development. It was based on trust among students, teachers, administrators and parents. This investigation is an examination of trust and servant-leadership between teachers and principals in elementary school.

Can supervisors intentionally communicate messages that signal traits of servant-leadership and that influence organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions? Organizational supervisors are in a unique position to influence the employee experience (Myers, Seibold, & Park, 2011). A substantial body of research has documented the ability of a supervisor to influence employee attitudes such as organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions (e.g., Bliss & Fallon, 2003; Brown & Yoshioka, 2003; Epitropaki & Martin, 2005; Fleishman, 1998; Jaskyte, 2003; McColl-Kennedy & Anderson, 2005; Walumbwa & Lawler, 2003). Within organizational behavior research, servant-leadership has emerged as one of the prominent leadership …

In the field of outdoor education a great deal of emphasis has been placed on evaluating instructional processes as they are used to develop leadership competencies (Berman & Berman, 2009; Buell, 1981; Gabriel, 2015; Green, 1981; Holladay & Sklar, 2012; Martin, Cashel, Wagstaff, & Breunig, 2006; Priest, 1984, 1986; Raiola & Sugerman, 1999). A limited body of outdoor leadership research has evaluated particular leadership frameworks, such as situational leadership theory (Hersey & Blanchard, 1981; Gabriel, 2015), to determine if leadership practices align with a particular leadership model in question. To advance professional knowledge of outdoor leadership theory and practice, the …

Most of the Black community remember where they were the day the news broke that Barack Obama would be the 44th president of the United States. In 2008, I was living in the historic city of Atlanta where I had left behind the dust of an unpaved country road in Russellville, Arkansas. I had wondered then if any of the inhabitants of the predominately White town were somewhere celebrating too. I stared at the screen in the hip Inman Park area with my brother and mixture of folks of different races, and we took to the streets and started shouting …

Robert Greenleaf’s vision of servant-leadership continues to grow, attracting leaders and organizations who resonate with its values (Ferch, Spears, McFarland, & Carey, 2015). Servantleadership scholarship furthers this vision and supports growth in a variety of ways, including: defining and clarifying the essence of servant-leadership, inspiring those who aspire to serve and lead, operationalizing theory through application to organizational settings, creating measures for servant-leadership, and reviewing and synthesizing literature (van Dierendonck, 2010).

I grew up as white, catholic, American, heterosexual male in a top 5% income household in a safe neighborhood, with some lifealtering, yet not terminal medical issues. Because of this privilege, I was able to focus on my unlimited education to the near exclusion of all else for the first two decades of my life, allowing me to fall in love with learning, with challenging intellectual discussions, with magis, and with cura personalis. Yet as my undergraduate career draws to a close, I find myself questioning how those circumstances affected what I learned, questioning if and how the self-awareness I …

The tedium of personal history, the stories and their repetitions. And then a body stripped of all sense of itself beyond the fundamentals: pain, hunger, whatever primitive needs keep it twisting in the night. Some days you believe you can will her back. Call her name, say key words—huckleberry, plate glass, maple—and she’ll come running like a child from the dark. Even now, ten years after her death, you believe it, fool that you choose to be over the cynic scoffing in ridicule.
