Item Media Interviews as Strategic External Communication to Maintain Legitimacy for Sustainability Activities((forthcoming)) Crumley, Ellen TTo examine thematic content and inclusive language in leaders’ media interviews to maintain legitimacy for organizational sustainability activities. We conducted an exploratory, qualitative content analysis of 24 organizational leaders’ media interviews about environmental sustainability. We analyzed inclusive language (i.e., collective focus terms, collective personal pronouns, and metaphors) and thematic content. Legitimacy maintenance entails both describing organizational sustainability activities and conveying, through the use of inclusive language, multiple audiences’ connection to the organization. The qualitative content analysis found that leaders discussed both primary and secondary stakeholders. With the exception of the code Defending existing practices, leaders consistently highlighted positive sustainability activities of their organizations. The inclusive language analysis found that Collective focus terms were used by all the leaders, with the most common term being “everyone.” Collective personal pronouns were found in half the interviews. Metaphors were employed by all leaders; the most common sustainability-related metaphors were journey, structural, personification, military/competition, vision, and science. The sample is limited to 24 organizations and not representative of all industries. While sustainability communication research focuses on annual reports and website and social media content, this study draws attention to a common but under-examined type of strategic external communication: senior organizational leaders’ media interviews. To our knowledge, scholars have not previously considered the possible legitimacy maintenance function of organizational leaders’ use of inclusive language and thematic content to address a broad array of stakeholders in their external communication.Item Chapter 18: Learning on Display: Student-Curated Art History Exhibitions in the Academic Library(Association of College and Research Libraries, 01/01/2024) Girard, Catherine; Krause, Rose Sliger; Murphy, MaggieThis chapter discusses a collaborative model we, an academic librarian and an art history professor, developed to embed the active learning of students with the visual in repurposed library spaces during a one-term art history course. Together, we coordinated the production of five exhibitions by undergraduate students at Eastern Washington University, a comprehensive regional university nestled in rural Washington State, between 2018 and 2020. Driven by a principle of inclusivity, we designed a model that is attuned to the limited resources of arts and humanities programs in public institutions and supports meaningful interactions with artworks without having access to an art collection or proper exhibition space. We stimulated student engagement by centering the exhibitions around topical themes, such as consent and structures of gender-based exclusion, and by giving them access to and agency over physical spaces traditionally controlled by librarians. Drawing on the librarian’s curatorial experience and on the faculty’s background in critical theory, our presentation will provide colleagues with the tools to replicate and adapt this model. First, we will present the theoretical foundations on which we built our collaborative approach. For the librarian, this project allowed her to embrace the rise of engagement as a prime concern in library studies and to shift her role from gatekeeper to facilitator. For the faculty, a project-based assignment aligned with the principles of critical pedagogy and calls to decolonize the discipline that have become central to her practice. The techniques implemented in the classroom to adequately prepare all students to produce creative displays about the visual focused on growing what Shari Tishman calls their “self-awareness as observers.” In the second part of our presentation, we will address the operational and instructional considerations required to make a library space welcoming to student contributions. From utilizing display equipment and supplies already on-hand, like book stands and plexiglass sign holders in standard sizes, to helping students find creative solutions to install their hand-made artifacts and improve the visual impact of their display, our practical remarks will emphasize the benefits of adopting a truly collaborative approach between the librarian, faculty, and students. In conclusion, we will offer thoughts on the epistemological impact of relinquishing some of our control, as educators, over the content and methods of our courses, and of the importance of welcoming student disruptions to our hegemony over academic discourses and institutional spaces.Item Field Behavior of the Nudibranch Mollusc Tritonia diomedea(2006-04) Wyeth, Russell C.; Willows, A.
