Download or read book The Five Stages of Culture Shock written by Paul Pedersen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1994-12-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The educational literature suggests that international contact contributes to a comprehensive educational experience. The Five Stages of Culture Shock examines an international shipboard educational program and seeks to identify specific insights resulting from informal extracurricular contact between students and host nationals in the context of culture shock experiences. Using the critical incident methodology, Pedersen analyzes students' responses to nearly 300 specific incidents which resulted in insights that apply to the students' own development, as well as the sociocultural context of the host countries. This use of critical incidents shows one way to evaluate and assess the subjective experiences of the informal curriculum. More broadly, the analysis sheds light on the concept of culture shock as a psychological construct.
Download or read book The Privileged Poor written by Anthony Abraham Jack and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Favorite Book of the Year Winner of the Critics’ Choice Book Award, American Educational Studies Association Winner of the Mirra Komarovsky Book Award Winner of the CEP–Mildred García Award for Exemplary Scholarship “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker “The lesson is plain—simply admitting low-income students is just the start of a university’s obligations. Once they’re on campus, colleges must show them that they are full-fledged citizen.” —David Kirp, American Prospect “This book should be studied closely by anyone interested in improving diversity and inclusion in higher education and provides a moving call to action for us all.” —Raj Chetty, Harvard University The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.

Book excerpt: Project managers must adapt their leadership style and management practice to ensure progress, commitment, and support while being culturally sensitive. This paper addresses best practices and lessons learned from the field, indicating what worked and what did not work on projects which involved cultural diversity and analyzes examples where cultural differences were overpowering. The paper defines in the first sections the main concepts that are discussed, such as cultural intelligence, cultural shock, or cultural distance and continues by applying the results of different research studies in the area of cultural differences to the project management realm. The impact of the globalization is considered. Several interviews were conducted with people of different nationalities working in multicultural teams, and their views were included to enrich the perspectives covered by this paper. We strongly believe in raising awareness about how important it is for a project manager to use different lenses when working with people of different cultural backgrounds.
