When Depression Is in the Job Description #realacademicbios
Get PDFInspired by H. L. Goodall Jr.\u27s and Barabara J. Jago\u27s respective essays on academic culture and depression, this piece utilizes performative writing to flesh out the popular hashtag #realacademicbios. Drawing on my experiences as a queer faculty of color in the neoliberal academy going through racial battle fatigue, microaggressions, anti-feminist/anti-intersectional critiques, and imposter syndrome, I seek to affectively create a state of depression on the page
Leading the Way: Motivating Environmental Action through Perceived Marketplace Influence
No full textThis research explores the perceived marketplace influence (PMI) belief and its role in explaining behavior. Across three studies, we show PMI to be distinct from other efficacy-based constructs and a powerful predictor of pro-environmental and socially-motivated behavior. Specifically, consumers are motivated to act when they believe their behavior influences other marketplace actors. We develop a ten-item scale for PMI and display its predictive and incremental validity in explaining environmental behavior before showing its power to translate environmental concern into corresponding behavior. We then find that PMI predicts social environmentalism and environmental citizenship behaviors, and that these effects are attenuated by consumer skepticism of marketing. While complementing existing efficacy-related beliefs with its explicit marketplace focus, PMI provides an important tool for marketers operating in environmental and prosocial niches by allowing them to understand and target the consumers most likely to adopt their products or attempt to recruit others in environmentally-motivated efforts
Life in a Near-Future Atmosphere: Carbon Dioxide Enrichment Increases Plant Growth and Alters the Behavior of a Terrestrial Snail but not a Terrestrial Beetle
No full textIn addition to effects on climate and water acidification, anthropogenic atmospheric releases of carbon dioxide may also directly impact terrestrial organisms that use CO2 as a chemical cue. We wondered how common organisms would respond to near-future levels of CO2 – levels that may occur by 2025. We chose two common but taxonomically and ecologically dissimilar organisms (Theba pisana helicid snails and Adesmia dilatata tenebrionid beetles) to examine the behavioral effects of a slight rise (~10 ppm) of CO2 on animal abundance and plant growth in the Negev Desert of Israel. We found that plots with supplementary CO2 exhibited greater plant growth than control plots over a 50-day experiment, but increased growth did not alter beetle or snail numbers.
In laboratory experiments with higher levels of augmented CO2 paired with food rewards, we found that snails did not change their climbing behavior when presented with CO2 alone, but they avoided food and climbed away when CO2 was paired with food. Beetles in the laboratory were attracted to food regardless of CO2 levels although high levels of CO2 (1200–1300 ppm) reduced movement.
The direct effects of near-future CO2 levels may augment plant growth but have only minor influence on terrestrial snails and beetles. However, the effects of CO2 on climate change in desert habitats like the Negev may be more severe due to a predicted rise in temperature and a decline in precipitation
Coordinated Meaning of Nonverbal Communication in the Context of Organizational Change
No full textWe live in a world reliant on relationships. Through interpersonal relationships we construct our own individual and group identity. As members of the workforce, it is imperative that we consistently mold our thoughts and beliefs in coordination with our surroundings. This study examines a) how coordinated group meaning is affected by nonverbal communication in the context of organizational change and b) the impact of organizational change on workplace identity. Pearce and Cronen’s (2012) Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM) is used as the theoretical basis. This theory helps provide deeper understanding of why nonverbal communication has a greater impact on communication and identity. Interviews of seven individuals in support roles found that nonverbal communication plays a significant role in the acceptance or rejection of organizational change. Participants consisted of both managers and subordinates with varying degrees of work experience and tenure. Results demonstrate that, through coordinated group meaning, individual identity is impacted by change and nonverbal cues play an important role in guiding and altering beliefs and perception. Navigating change becomes complicated with the introduction of unfamiliar nonverbal communication cues. As the surrounding environment changes and new people are introduced to a group, individuals struggle with their own understanding and acceptance of change. It is through working together that change becomes acceptable

Curating Hatred: The Joe McWilliams\u27s Controversy at the Ulster Museum
Get PDFSince heritage is a manifestation of how the past is used in the present,engagement with heritage is a critical indicator of how contemporaryhatreds play out, both feeding and feeding off traditions and legacies.Despite its ongoing peace process, Northern Ireland remains a site of dissonantheritages, where sectarian hatred continues to be expressed in societaldivisions, often resulting in outright violence. This relationship betweencurrent expressions of hatred and the uses of the past present particularissues for heritage professionals. This essay examines a recent example inwhich these tensions have been made manifest, the inclusion of a paintingby Belfast artist Joe McWilliams in the Annual Exhibition by the RoyalUlster Academy at the Ulster Museum in 2015. The painting depicts theperformance by a Protestant Orange Order band outside a Roman CatholicChurch in Belfast as part of the annual Twelfth of July celebrations. Itincluded a small group of figures wearing white hoods, akin to the KluKlux Klan’s, and Orange sashes. The controversy that the inclusion of thispainting in the exhibition sparked illustrates the ways in which the artisticrepresentation of a performed heritage challenges institutional practice incurating dissonance
