Building Collective Leadership for Culture Change
Building Collective Leadership for Culture Change shows how five community engagement research projects in the greater Los Angeles area were able to create more collaborative and participatory cultures in their academic institutions and nonacademic settings by using community organizing, research in action, and narrative inquiry. These projects focused on incorporating civic engagement into the work of scholars, creating a civic engagement minor at California State University, Dominguez Hills, integrating community organizing practices within the Los Angeles Unified School District, and building a regional organizing network among civically engaged higher education institutions. As the case studies authored by Maria Avila and her collaborators show, these projects succeeded because they took place in collaborative spaces where participants were part of designing the purpose, goals, and specific actions to create culture change. Building Collective Leadership for Culture Change is a vital inquiry into the possibilities of collective interpretation of accomplishments among researchers and participants.
Ethos, Technology, and AI in Contemporary Society
Bringing together expert rhetorical theorists and technologists, this book explores our current understanding of, and attitudes toward, ethos, credibility, and trust in today’s changing technological landscape. Recent advancements in technology, including the development of digital technologies, the growth of algorithmic machine learning and artifical intelligence, and the circulation of disinformation in social media, necessitate a reevaluation of ethos. To explore the rhetorical concept of ethos, which is the perceived character of a speaker, contributors theorize how ethos is enabled, constrained, and constituted through new communication technologies. In this edited collection, chapter...

Further, it attempts to unveil current methods used by propaganda actors, the inherent vulnerabilities they exploit in the fabric of democratic societies and, last but not least, to highlight current pract...

Politik - PR - Persuasion
Ein Thema steht auch in wahlkampffreien Phasen immer wieder gerne im Fokus der Medien: Das Verhältnis zwischen Politik und Public Relations. Die Bandbreite reicht von kritischen Berichten über vermeintlich unethische bis illegale Verquickungen zwischen beiden, über die Kritik an der Tatsache, dass die Politik öffentliche Gelder für Kommunikationsdienstleister ausgibt oder über den Einfluss kollektiver und individueller Interessensvertreter auf politische Entscheidungsprozesse (z. B. Stuttgart 21) bis hin zur zuweilen stark skandalisierenden Berichterstattung über Aufträge an PR-Agenturen, bestimmte Spitzenpolitiker wirksam zu inszenieren. Der massenmedialen Aufmerksamkeit im Umgang m...
Advances in Conservation and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources
Genetic diversity is the key to crop improvement and food security. There are more than 1500 gene banks around the world, and genetic resources are maintained in nature reserves and on farms. Genetic diversity serves as the starting point for breeding crops with improved nutritional quality, higher yields, and better tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, genetic diversity also provides opportunities for diversifying farm and food systems. Utilization depends on access to material and information. However, many gene banks experience backlogs in characterization, evaluation, regeneration, viability tests, plant health monitoring, and information sharing. This research topic focuses on advances in plant genetic resource conservation and utilization.
