In the absence of corporate accountability, and/or support on the federal policy level, local and regional leadership and self-organized networks are critical to the scaling across and evolution of a moral and equitable food system. Networked food systems leaders are developing the capacity to solve wicked problems, and spark change. Understanding the values and practices of local food systems leadership, that initiate, influence, and support activities is essential to understanding how to foster conditions for local and regional food network growth. My dissertation research is designed to better understand the leadership practices, values and use of power which contribute to the flourishing of food system networks. In this mixed method study, I set out to answer the question, “What is the nature of leadership in emerging local and regional food networks that provides the foundation for a network to strengthen and scale?” The leadership practices, values, and use of power in three local/regional food networks are studied; synthesizing social network analysis data with semi structured interviews, using the results of an iterative thematic analysis as the foundation from which to consider a critical analysis. This dissertation establishes Human Centeredness as a foundation for Leadership as Practice to occur in self-organized food systems networks. Human Centeredness, for the purposes of my framework and model, is a recognition of the importance and contribution that relationships and iv connection, essentially a human centered way of being make to laying the foundation for leadership as practice to occur. The findings also reveal the need for a greater understanding of the importance of power and accessing various forms of power within and beyond the known boundaries of networks. This dissertation is available in open access at AURA: Antioch University Repository and Archive, http://aura.antioch.edu/ and OhioLINK ETD Center, https://etd.ohiolink.edu/. Keywords: Crisis, Food Systems, Leadership, Self-Organized Networks, Social Change v Acknowledgements First, I wish to thank my dissertation committee. Without their guidance, and patience I would not have made it, certainly not through a change in chairs and dissertation work during the pandemic. I am so grateful for Dr. Aqeel Tirmizi and Dr. Claire Reinelt who served as my committee members, and Dr. Donna Ladkin, my Chair, who all went above and beyond to help me reach my goal. Without you believing in me, I could not have gotten this done. I also want to acknowledge the many scholars and practitioners, who I have quoted and cited throughout my dissertation, for their prior work which provided immense inspiration to the ideas central to my research. A special thanks to June Holley, not only for her prior work, but her support and the many conversations. In addition, a big shout out to all the network weavers out there, in particular the folks from the Well-Being Equity and Bridging Community of Practice, and the Antioch Leadership and Change program C-16. I learned and practiced many of the concepts addressed in this dissertation in some way with all you. Our conversations helped me build the foundation for my work. It has been such a pleasure. Of course, a huge thank you to the individuals from the three food systems networks that generously agreed to share their stories with me. Without you and all you do these networks would not exist. Also, to my friends, especially my best friend Cheryl Lozano, and children Matthew, Jasmine, and Jonathan: you put up with me being distracted and missing many events the last 5 years. I am forever grateful for your patience and understanding. I hope to have time now to reconnect with each of you. vi Finally, to my dog Sid whose constant companionship and unconditional comfort helped me through the dark times of writing a dissertation, in isolation, during Covid-19. It is time to celebrate; Sid you earned this degree right along with me. vii Table of Contents Abstract iv Acknowledgements vi CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION 1 The Backstory Behind the Problem 5 Inherited Wealth and Privilege 5 Capitalism and Commodification 6 Neo-liberalism and Globalization 6 The Climacteric 7 Failing Food Systems 9 Food Oppression 10 A New Leadership is Needed 14 Change is Necessary 17 From Food Oppression to Food Sovereignty 17 Evolutionary Reconstruction, Traditional or Radical Reform 19 Positionality 20 Overview/Researcher Background 20 Purpose of the Study 26 Rational and Significance of the Study 26 Delimitations, Assumptions and Limitations 28 Delimitations 28 Assumptions 29 Limitations 30 Organization of the Rest of the Study 30 Chapter II 30 Chapter III 30 Chapter IV 31 Chapter V 31 CHAPTER II: A REVIEW OF RELEVANT THEORY, RESEARCH, AND PRACTICE 32 The Food Movement 33 Complexity in Food Systems Networks 41 viii Self-Organized Societal Shifting Network Praxis 43 Large Scale Transformative Change 44 A Networked Approach 46 The Role of Social Networks in Diffusion and Scaling Across 47 Hierarchy, Power and Control 48 A Networked Style of Leadership 49 Leadership Toward Systemic Change 50 The Prior Work on a Networked Style of Leadership 51 Network Mindset & Practices 54 Leadership-as-Practice 58 Network Leadership Through the Lens of Transformative Social Innovation Theory 62 Primary Research Question 64 CHAPTER III: METHODOLOGY/GUIDING QUESTIONS AND RESEARCH PROCEDURES 65 Purpose and Goals 65 Social Network Analysis 66 Why Understanding Networks is Important 66 What is Social Network Analysis 67 Technical Aspects of the Research Process 69 Description of my Design 70 The Background and Rationale for my Design 70 Phase I- Social Network Analysis of the Three Local/Regional Food Networks 71 Selection and Recruitment 73 Network Survey Question Design 75 Phase II - Interviews 77 Background and Reasoning for Semi-structured Interview 77 Interview Methodology 78 Selection Criteria for Interviews 78 The Interviews 79 Interview Questions 79 Analysis: Transcribing and Coding 80 ix Ethics 81 Research Limitations 83 CHAPTER IV: PRESENTATION OF THE FINDINGS 84 Review of Methods and Approach 84 The Research Process 85 Identifying Interview Candidates 85 Interviews 88 Further Context Regarding my Findings 89 Leadership Profiles 90 Helen 90 Joanne 95 Rachel 96 Jackie 98 Andrew 99 Review of My Initial Findings 102 Connecting (40) 104 Relational or Relational Ways of Leading (39) 104 Leadership in the Spaces Between 106 Jim, Will, and Rick 107 Cheryl, Addie, Helen, and Others 108 The Broader Network and Community Beyond the Network 109 Values Findings 112 Generosity, Trust, and Respect 114 Generosity 114 Trust 115 Respect 115 Community and Sense of Place 115 Power Findings 118 Findings as Applicable to the Research Questions 121 Connecting 122 Connecting and Cultivating 123 x Connecting and Collaborating 124 Connecting and Stepping Forward 125 Collaborative and Supportive 125 Another Co-occurrence Action Oriented/Circulates Ideas &Practices/Action Oriented & Boots on the Ground 126 The Findings in Light of Research

  • Online Hate and Harmful Content
    Online Hate and Harmful Content In times of ever-increasing changes in technology and online socio-cultural trends, there is a constant and pressing need for updated knowledge. This book provides the most up-to-date study of online hate speech and harms associated with the Internet. By presenting ground-breaking comparative research and intro- ducing new concepts such as Identity Bubble Reinforcement, it breaks new ground both empirically and theoretically. Sveinung Sandberg, Professor, University of Oslo Over the past few decades, various types of hate material have caused increasing concern. Today, the scope of hate is wider than ever, as easy and often-anonymous access to an enormous amount of online content has opened the Internet up to both use and abuse. By providing possibilities for inexpensive and instantaneous access without ties to geographic location or a user identification system, the Internet has permitted hate groups and individuals espousing hate to transmit their ideas to a worldwide audience. Online Hate and Harmful Content focuses on the role of potentially harmful online content, particularly among young people. This focus is explored through two approaches: first, the commonality of online hate through cross-national survey statistics. This includes a discussion of the various implications of online hate for young people in terms of, for example, subjective wellbeing, trust, self- image and social relationships. Second, the book examines theoretical frame- works from the fields of sociology, social psychology and criminology that are useful for understanding online behaviour and online victimisation. Limitations of past theory are assessed and complemented with a novel theoretical model linking past work to the online environment as it exists today.

YOU is always singular plural: • Recognition is never at the level of the individual • You = YOUS value 2. Machines engage in deep dreaming, creating patterns from noise. • Crab in = crap out • As with the gibbering muses, interpretation and herme- neutics enter through pattern discrimination, but now through the “back door” • We live in mythic times, but without knowing we do 3. The singularity of the market = the crapularity of the world: • the dumbing down of humans • the integration of subjectivity into information technologies • the reality of paranoia 60 4. To come out, we have to come in: • we are inside when we think we are outside. • Open societies need enemies to be “open” This chapter continues these points by examining homophily—the axiom that similarity breeds connection—which grounds contem- porary network science.

  • Surviving Racist Culture: Strategies of Managing Racism
    SURVIVING RACIST CULTURE: STRATEGIES OF MANAGING RACISM AMONG GAY MEN OF COLOUR—AN INTERPRETATIVE PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS SULAIMON GIWA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN SOCIAL WORK YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2016 © Sulaimon Giwa, 2016 Abstract Racism, a unique source of stress, occupies a peripheral point of analysis in the literature on gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) health research. Canadian investigators have not examined the coping strategies that non-White gay men use. Lacking knowledge of the group’s coping responses overlooks the dynamics of resistance and prevents interventions for addressing racism from being developed. The current study’s aims were to explore the contexts in which gay men of colour experienced gay-specific racism; to investigate their understanding of factors contributing to the experience of racism; and to examine strategies they used to manage the stress of racism. Foregrounding issues of White supremacy and racial oppression, the study used frameworks from critical race and queer theories and minority stress theory, integrating insights from the psychological model of stress and coping. Data were collected in Ottawa, Canada, employing focus groups and in-depth interviews with 13 gay men who identified as Black, East Asian, South Asian, and Arab/Middle Eastern. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), the study concluded that racism was pervasive in Ottawa’s GLB community, at individual, institutional, and cultural levels. Racial-cultural socialization processes were found to influence racist attitudes and practices. Racism’s subtle, insidious forms undermined discrimination claims by gay men of colour, in that White gay men denied any racist attitudes and actions.

The aim is to identify what friendships reveal about the nature and extent of ethnic and social divisions in contemporary multicultural society. Drawing on interviews with children and their parents, this paper analyses affective par- ental responses to their children’s friendships, identifying instances where parents seek to manage these friendships. We identify the importance of the ‘ease of similarity’ for many parents concern- ing their children’s friendships, and the relative lack of concrete practices amongst parents to sup- port their children’s friendships across difference. However, we also note parental support for living in super-diverse localities and children attending schools therein.

Unlike other turmoil in the country’s history, this one was strongly influenced by ordinary Brazilians who found a space to express themselves politically on digital platforms. This thesis aims to understand how the datafied government of users’ visibility by Facebook (Brazil’s most popular platform) can be understood to have structured these everyday experiences and, in so doing, to have prompted these individuals to (re)constitute the ways they act and comprehend themselves as citizens.
