    An exodus of enthusiasm: G. Alder Blumer, eugenics, and U.S. psychiatry, 1890-1920

    No full text
    Tracks the change of heart on the subject of eugenics experienced by notable psychiatrist G. Alder Blumer during 1890-1920. Negative eugenics, stressing the need to eliminate unfavorable traits through reproductive control, resulted in thousands of the mentally ill being sterilized. While working at the New York State Lunatic Asylum in Utica, Blumer became an enthusiastic proponent of negative eugenics. But upon moving to the more progressive Butler Hospital for the Insane in Providence, Rhode Island, Blumer came to believe more in therapeutic approaches to mental illness.Documentation: Based on Blumer's papers, New York State Lunatic Asylum records, and secondary sources; illus., 76 notes.; Abstracter: R.

    Evolving Role and Nature of Workplace Leaders and Diversity: A Theoretical and Empirical Approach

    No full text
    Blumer (1962) regarded the ‘many possibilities of uncertainty as inherent to the process of joint action.’ Joint action reflects the efforts of participants to work out the line of action in light of what they observe each other doing. Leadership appears to be approached from two fundamental perspectives: an organisational perspective (the influence that is exercised to change the direction of the organisation), and an individual task perspective (the influence that is directed at changing the work behaviour of an individual). In this article, it is suggested that the symbolic interaction of perspective integrates the two fundamental perspectives in that both perspectives require meaningful, reflexive integration and meaning, group membership, organisational role and experience. The evolving role of leaders to attract, retain and connect with a diverse workforce in a changing environment gives rise to interactive leadership competency requirements. This article suggests that managing diversity requires business leaders to adopt an approach to diversity management that is sensitive not only to race and ethnic differences, but also to the background and values of all individuals at work. The empirical study was done and four hundred and forty (440) leadership styles were measured in eleven (11) organisations. The study used the Hall and Hawker (1988) inventory leadership styles and a diversity questionnaire to measure diversity management experience.discrimination, diversity management, engaging leadership style, experience, heroic leadership style, management, transformational leadership

    The Bean Beetle Microbiome Project: A Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience in Microbiology

    No full text
    Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are an effective means of transforming the learning and teaching of science by involving students in the scientific process. The potential importance of the microbiome in shaping both environmental health and disease makes investigations of microbiomes an excellent teaching tool for undergraduate microbiology. Here, we present a CURE based on the microbiome of the bean beetle (Callosobruchus maculatus), a model system for undergraduate laboratory education.
