WSOU: Leadership with Darrell W. Gunter - Leadership Begins With You!

Universities on Fire explores the future of higher education during an age of unfolding climate crisis. Current studies have traced the likely implications of anthropogenic climate change across a range of domains, from agriculture to policy, urban design, technology, culture, and human psychology.  However, few have explored how climate change can reshape colleges and universities.  Universities on Fire addresses this by connecting climate research to a deep, futures-informed analysis of academia.  It starts with a small focus, a given campus, then gradually expands its view to the level of how academia as a whole interacts with civilization’s broadest movements.  

Mr. Jerry Andrews, Managing Director, Sr. Portfolio Manager Merrill Lynch discusses his very innovative portfolio principles and how he has developed a truly sustainable management process to the benefit of his clients.

How does fear – deep, ongoing, systemic fear – impact on Black lives?

Through reflections on her own life, anthropologist Dr Linda Jean Hall PhD draws on traditions of African storytelling to explore the question of how systemic fear affects the twentieth- and twenty-first-century Afro American experience. By using the framing of pandemic waves – a concept all too familiar in the wake of COVID-19 – Hall employs a personal lens to parse out the implications of different “waves of fear" through impactful stages of her life, allowing readers to examine the shifting relationships that define Blackness and survival.

Gifting resilience: A pandemic study of Black female resistance is ideal reading for students of Black studies, African American studies, and related courses, as well as for students of feminist and womanist studies, gender studies, cultural studies, history, sociology and anthropology. Unflinchingly honest, this book gives a human face to viewpoints and ideas that originate deep within the complex and diverse African Diasporic lived experience.

The Global Patient Safety Action Plan Framework

Unsafe care results in over 2.6 million deaths per year and is considered one of the world’s leading causes of death. In 2019 the 72nd World Health Assembly issued a call to action, The “Global Action on Patient Safety”, that called for Member States to “work in collaboration with other Member States, civil society organizations, patients’ organizations, professional bodies, academic and research institutions, industry and other relevant stakeholders to promote, prioritize and embed patient safety in all health policies and strategies.”

Emotional courage is an underestimated characteristic of successful Black life in the segregated, unjust US south. Author Greg Freeland reflects on how music reflected, impacted, and influenced Black life in 1950s rural South Carolina.

The celebratory aspect of the Black rhythm and blues, jazz, and gospel music of Freeland’s life is one of his clearest memories of the time. In this book, he recalls and reflects upon how music was integral to the solidary and resilience of his Black community in an unequal and unjust society. Through examples of music in the household, church, clubs, parties, and schools, this book explores how music worked in a manner that facilitated the development, mobilization, and realization of Black life.  Publisher: Lived Places Publishing
