American Born Critically Conscious Desi (ABCD): An Educational Pilot Workshop on the Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Stereotypic Narratives of South Asian American Masculinity
No full textAccording to the United States Census (Jones et al., 2021; U.S. Census Bureau, 2023), Asian Americans were one of the fastest growing racial minority groups in 2020. In 2021, over 4.8 million South Asian Americans resided in the U.S. making up approximately 20% of the Asian American population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023). The scope of existing research about South Asian Americans mostly explores factors of acculturation and bicultural “Desi” identity (Patel, 2008; van der Werf et al., 2020) with minimal attention to gender concepts beyond gender role differences or gender-based violence (Inman et al., 2014; Kumar & Nevid, 2010; Population Council, 2006; Tummala-Narra et al., 2017). More specifically, there is a lack of research and clinical guidance about working with masculine South Asian Americans. “American Born Critically Conscious Desi (ABCD): An Educational Pilot Workshop on the Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Stereotypic Narratives of South Asian American Masculinity” is a contribution to practice aimed towards bridging the gap between the current literature relating to South Asian American masculinity and the lack of existing clinical knowledge and information available for psychology practitioners working with this group. The objectives of this workshop include providing clinical guidance for working with South Asian American masculinity and teaching therapists a process of empathically analyzing systems of power that contribute to marginalization of racialized gendered individuals. Through analysis of historical context and language, participants deconstructed common stereotypic narratives detailed in three vignette cases before reconstructing attributes of masculinity within a positive psychology positive masculinity (PPPM) framework (Kiselica et al., 2016). Evaluative feedback from participants reflected a desire to use critical analysis as a tool to challenge systems of power and empower marginalized clients. The clinical utility of critical analysis and positive restructuring skills may be one of the first of its kind in its application for South Asian American populations. Further, it provides practitioners with terminology, language, and skills to reframe and empower clients’ experiences within systems of power

Full text linkNavigating Complexity in an Internet of Things Era: A Case Study of Entrepreneurial Leadership in a Silicon Valley IoT Startup
Full text linkResearch into the inner-workings of high-tech startups in the field of leadership within the United States is needed. The accelerating impact of technology on society is clear. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a primary technology of an emergent era, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). Silicon Valley startups germinate many of these Industry 4.0 IoT technologies. The current understanding of leadership in IoT startups is often based on media reports. recounting villains and heroes. This is not that. This is a qualitative, normative case study based on the researcher’s insider status at an IoT startup. Insider case study research into leadership of this type is sparse. Based on a review of the literature, multiple one-on-one interviews were conducted with leaders in an IoT startup. An additional 12 interviews were conducted with leaders in the IoT startup field. This study asks: What does it take to lead an IoT startup in Silicon Valley? The data supported the use of Goffman’s (1959b) dramaturgy as an analytical tool for leadership. The leadership at IoT Inc. took on prescribed roles in formal and informal settings. Bourdieu’s (2020) social capital, habitus, and field concepts are also supported for analyzing IoT startups. The individuals at IoT Inc. used social capital, and exhibited habitus based on experiences and expertise while interacting with the IoT field. Chia’s (2013) process-orientation and application of knowledge types like techne, metis, and phronesis is supported. Leaders in the case study exhibited complexity-based leadership when pursuing opportunities in an environment of constrained resources. The data demonstrated that entrepreneurial leaders with accumulated social capital and habitus, who understand the dramaturgical context of an emergent technology field, can use forms of expert pragmatic knowledge to navigate the complexity in pursuit of a vision
