The Silver Screen as Mirror: Investigating Servant-Leadership in American Film
Get PDFMovies have entranced me from a young age and have been a faithful companion throughout my life. The mystery and allure of the silver screen has been explained in a myriad of ways to justify why the visual medium from the Hollywood blockbuster to the Sundance auteur film have a developed and committed following. Film theorists cite reasons like escapism, empathetic catharsis through emotional practicing, and shared storytelling to describe the motivations of film-going audiences (Barsam & Monahan, 2017; Pramaggiore & Wallis, 2018; Truby, 2008). Physically, the process of viewing film is the result of encountering images projected onto a screen which diffusely reflects both the light and the shadow projected on to them. The projection of shadow and light, inherently affirmed in the reality of being human, makes film a vital mirror for h
The Sudden Holy1
Get PDFThe 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
Healing through Ancestral Knowledge and Letters to Our Children: Mothering Infants During a Global Pandemic
Get PDFThe struggle for work–life balance amongst women in academia who are both mothers and scholars continues to be apparent during a global pandemic highlighting the systemic fissures and social inequalities ingrained in our society, including systems of higher learning. Women of color professors on the tenure track are vulnerable to the intersecting ways capitalism, sexism, and racism exacerbate the challenges faced by motherscholars, making it imperative to explore these nuances. While motherscholars may share advice about navigating family leave policies or strategizing scholarship goals, no one could have prepared us for our motherscholar roles during a pandemic. We were, in some ways, unprepared for giving birth with a heightened level of social isolation and feelings of loneliness, while racial unrest and loud exigencies to protect the lives of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) persist. Through three testimonios, we explore how ancestral/indigenous knowledge provides us with ways to persist, transform, and heal during these moments. We share letters written to each of our babies to encapsulate our praxis with ancestral knowledge on mothering. We reflect on matriarchal elders, constricted movement in our daily routines, and ongoing worries and hopes. We theorize this knowledge to offer solidarity with a motherscholar epistemology

Get PDFThere’s a Place for You, Too : A Chat With Tony Foley, Editor of Callosum
Get PDFSeveral years ago, a group of high school students was crossing the street in front of my stopped car. I recognized one, whom I knew to be an incredibly talented visual artist. I wondered how many other gifted and passionate young artists were in the group, or among clusters of students at this moment in communities around the world; I wondered whether their talent was encouraged or even known. The artist I recognized is now visual editor of Callosum Magazine, whose mission is to create a community for emerging artists in all genres. The publication is second to none for warmth, energy, and raw talent. I recently spoke with the founder of Callosum, poet, essayist, and visual artist Tony Foley
