Download or read book Giving Voice to Values written by Mary C. Gentile and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you effectively stand up for your values when pressured by your boss, customers, or shareholders to do the opposite? Drawing on actual business experiences as well as on social science research, Babson College business educator and consultant Mary Gentile challenges the assumptions about business ethics at companies and business schools. She gives business leaders, managers, and students the tools not just to recognize what is right, but also to ensure that the right things happen. The book is inspired by a program Gentile launched at the Aspen Institute with Yale School of Management, and now housed at Babson College, with pilot programs in over one hundred schools and organizations, including INSEAD and MIT Sloan School of Management. She explains why past attempts at preparing business leaders to act ethically too often failed, arguing that the issue isn’t distinguishing what is right or wrong, but knowing how to act on your values despite opposing pressure. Through research-based advice, practical exercises, and scripts for handling a wide range of ethical dilemmas, Gentile empowers business leaders with the skills to voice and act on their values, and align their professional path with their principles. Giving Voice to Values is an engaging, innovative, and useful guide that is essential reading for anyone in business.

Book excerpt: This qualitative study focused on the use of Interactive Theatre as professional development in higher education to give voice to the marginalized. The researcher viewed the study through the lens of Critical Race Theory which emphasizes the power of storytelling to reduce alienation of marginalized groups who find themselves invisible and silent. The study population consisted of the leader of an Interactive Theatre program used for professional development, faculty and graduate teaching assistants who had participated in the program, and members of the Interactive Theatre troupe. The setting was a large Midwest university. Data collection methods included audio-recorded interviews and observations of individuals and a focus group, observation of an Interactive Theatre presentation, and document analysis. Through data analysis, two themes emerged which showed an awakening to issues associated with diversity and empowerment to address those issues were results of having participated in the Interactive Theatre program. Implications of this inquiry for practice in education could impact both K-12 institutions and higher education institutions as they address the issues of diversity and giving voice to the marginalized, thus creating truly inclusive campus climates.

Download or read book International Students Negotiating Higher Education written by Silvia Sovic and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current economic climate, more than ever, international students provide an important income to universities. They represent much-needed funds for many institutions, but they also come with their own diverse variety of characteristics and requirements. This insightful book offers a critical stance on contemporary views of international students and challenges the way those involved address the important issues at hand. To do this, the authors focus specifically on giving voice to the student experience. In particular, the authors show how international student experience can be a ready asset from which to glean valuable information, particularly in relation to teaching and learning, academic support and the formal and informal curriculum. In this way, the issues affecting international students can be seen as part of the larger set of difficulties that face all students at university today. Integrating contributions from a academics and student voices from a range of backgrounds issues raised include: Academic Writing for International Students The Internationalisation of the Curriculum Identities: The use of stereotypes and auto-stereotypes International Students’ Perceptions of Tutors, and The system in reverse, English speaking learners as 'international students'. This book will be of interest to education management and administrators, higher education professionals, especially those working or training to teach large numbers of international students, to which it offers a unique opportunity to understand better the students’ point-of-view. Because of this the book will likely appeal to academics in all English speaking countries that recruit significant numbers of international students, as well as the growing number of European universities which teach in English and those in the Indian sub-continent that send large numbers of international students to the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the US.
