  • Champions of Gender Equality
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/2040-7149.htm Champions Champions of gender equality: of gender female and male executives as equality leaders of gender change Jennifer Anne de Vries 21 Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, University of Melbourne, Received 12 July 2013 Melbourne, Australia Revised14February2014 29 June 2014 19 September 2014 Abstract Accepted 5 December 2014 Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine male and female executives as leaders “championing” gender change interventions. It problematizes current exhortations for male leaders to lead gender change, much as they might lead any other business-driven change agenda. It argues that organizational gender scholarship is critical to understanding the gendered nature of championing. Design/methodology/approach – This paper draws on a feminist qualitative research project examining the efficacy of a gender intervention in a university and a policing institution. Interviews with four leaders have been chosen from the larger study for analysis against the backdrop of material from interviewees and the participant observation of the researcher. It brings a social constructionist view of gender and Acker’s gendering processes to bear on understanding organizational gender change. Findings – The sex/gender of the leader is inescapably fore-fronted by the gender change intervention. Gendered expectations and choices positioned men as powerful and effective champions while undermining the effectiveness of the woman in this study. Research limitations/implications – Further research examining male and female leaders capacity to champion gender change is required. Practical implications – This research identifies effective champion behaviors, provides suggestions for ensuring that gender equity interventions are well championed and proposes a partnership model where senior men and women play complementary roles leading gender change.

  • The Origins of Western Music and Its Influence on Modern Popular
    THE ORIGINS OF WESTERN MUSIC AND ITS INFLUENCE ON MODERN POPULAR MUSIC: TEACHING MUSIC THROUGH A MUSICAL EXPLORATION OF SEVEN COUNTRIES By Johanna KateLyn Hatt Liberty University A MASTER’S CURRICULUM PROJECT PRESENTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSIC EDUCATION THE ORIGINS OF WESTERN MUSIC AND ITS INFLUENCE ON MODERN POPULAR MUSIC: TEACHING MUSIC THROUGH A MUSICAL EXPLORATION OF SEVEN COUNTRIES by Johanna KateLyn Hatt A Curriculum Project Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Music Education Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA December 2018 APPROVED BY: Rebecca Watson, D.M.A., Committee Advisor Stephen Müller, PhD. (ABD), Associate Dean of the School of Music, Committee Reader Vernon M. Whaley, PhD., Dean of the School of Music 2 ABSTRACT The topics of music history and music appreciation cover a wide range of composers and musical contributions that at times, can be overwhelming to a student who does not have any musical knowledge. Through limiting the music appreciation course to the discussion of composers’ works from various countries, students are able to learn about the important contributions those composers and countries had to music, including modern popular music. This topic will bring value to the field of music education as it offers an alternative approach to the traditional method of teaching a music history course. With this holistic approach to the instruction of music history, students will be able to see the social and cultural impacts on the compositions and composers of various countries. Using their critical thinking skills, students will be able to connect the influence that compositions from various countries have had on modern music through analysis, classroom discussion, and personal projects.

  • Choir Members Nightmares to This Day)
    ARTISTIC DIRECTOR’S NOTE We’re back and we’re off to space! I love our theme this term because at first glance, it seems a little weird, but in reality there’s such a vast amount of amazing pop music that mentions every aspect of the universe, from time-honored classics like “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Rocket Man,” to quirkier, lesser- known gems like N*SYNC’s “Space Cowboy” and “Cheer Up” by A Great Big World. With this concert, Empire Pop Choir completes its first year of existence, and it’s been such a wonderful journey to be on. Each term, we all get a little better (me included!), and I love seeing the growth of the ensemble, especially among our members who’ve returned from previous terms. Wednesday night rehearsals are one of my favorite activities each week, and even though I’m exhausted and usually a little hoarse afterward, it’s such a fun group to work with. If this sounds like something you need in your life, join us next term! We have some great music in store and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more supportive choir community than this one. As always, thank you for your support, and enjoy the show! Heather Waid Pop Choir Artistic Director PROGRAM A Sky Full of Stars Written By: Guy Berryman, Jon Buckland, Will Champion, Chris Martin and Tim Bergling Arranged By: Mac Huff “A Sky Full of Stars” was originally recorded and released by Coldplay on their Album Ghost Stories in 2014.
