ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation is the product of many people’s support, guidance, and encouragement to whom I wish to eternally thank. Undertaking such a task – doctoral coursework and this “paper” – would not have been possible if it weren’t for an incredible group of individuals. First, thank you to my family. To my parents, Alan and Randi Schwartz, for instilling in me the belief by which I can do anything I put my mind and heart. You impressed upon me from an early age the value of a good education, honest work, and perseverance and always provided me with the utmost confidence that I can finish this process. For these things I will be forever grateful. To my amazing wife, Beth, for her love, patience, and editing skills over the past four years; I will be forever appreciative of her understanding and encouragement throughout this process. To my son, Jacob, for being everything his mom and I could have ever asked for. He is proving to be a compassionate, kind, and fun-loving little boy and my greatest hope is that he achieves any goal he eventually sets for himself. To my brother, Jason, for, simply put, always being such a great brother, to my sister-in-law, Karee, and brothers-in-law, Jason and Andy, for always being so supportive. To my in-laws, Michael and Michael, thank you for your interest in and encouragement of this process. Next, thank you to my Loyola family: I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to my dissertation chair, Dr. Marla Israel. I will be forever indebted to her for her guidance, mentorship, honesty, clear vision, and push to always iii write more explicitly. To my dissertation committee team: Dr. Susan Sostak and Dr. Barbara Unikel, I will be forever thankful that they agreed to support me in this capacity. Dr. Sostak’s constructive feedback, optimism, and helpful nature, as a reader and professor, and Dr. Unikel’s mentorship, friendly ear, and positivity, as a reader and mentor, will always be cherished. Also, thank you to all my Loyola professors who were committed to my success. Thank you to my professional learning network in Deerfield – to the Deerfield Public Schools for supporting this endeavor and placing a high value on the professional growth of their staff. Their commitment will be forever cherished. To the Loyola- Deerfield Cohort for the motivation to be excellent, their shared love of learning, their laughter, and for certainly increasing my job satisfaction. Lastly, thank you to the five superintendents who agreed to cooperate with this study and the 435 teachers who took the time out of their busy schedules to contribute to this research. I am amazed and energized by their commitment to the field of education and the students they teach, and their tireless efforts to do whatever they need to do for the success of their students. Due to your kindness, this dissertation was made possible. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................... iii LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................... viii LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................................ x ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... xiv CHAPTER I.

  • An Intergenerational Narrative Analysis of Black Mothers and Daughters
    Still Waiting to Exhale: An Intergenerational Narrative Analysis of Black Mothers and Daughters DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jamila D. Smith, B.A., MFA College of Education and Human Ecology The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Elaine Richardson, Advisor Professor Adrienne D. Dixson Professor Carmen Kynard Professor Wendy Smooth Professor Cynthia Tyson Copyright by Jamila D. Smith 2012 Abstract This dissertation consists of a nine month, three-state ethnographic study on the intersectional effects of race, age, gender, and place in the lives of fourteen Black mothers and daughters, ages 15-65, who attempt to analyze and critique the multiple and competing notions of Black womanhood as “at risk” and “in crisis.” Epistemologically, the research is grounded in Black women’s narrative and literacy practices, and fills a gap in the existing literature on Black girlhood and Black women’s lived experiences through attention to the development of mother/daughter relationships, generational narratives, societal discourse, and othermothering. I argue that an in-depth analysis and critique of the dominant “at risk” and “in crisis” discourse is necessary to understand the conversations that are and are not taking place between Black mothers and daughters about race, gender, age, and place; that it is important to understand the ways in which Black girls respond to media portrayals and stereotypes; and that it is imperative that we closely examine the existing narratives at play in the everyday lives of intergenerational Black girls and women in Black communities.

  • So, Our Conversation Today Is Communication Across the Generational Divide
    So, our conversation today is communication across the generational divide. And let me go ahead and tell you that the presentation will be a PowerPoint because, because I was going to try to create some kahoots and some other things and make it more enjoyable and engaging since we are on zoom and just try to make it more interesting. And you know what happened? I ran out of time and realized, I know how to play Kahoot, but setting up a Kahoot I need a, I need a couple more days to play with it and do what I wanted to do. So, I know how to use it, but being a creator of content, well, that's one of those cross generational things. Y'all could probably put it together in six minutes. It was going to take me a little bit longer than that, so we didn't do that. So, in terms of cross generational communication, let me give you an example of one that I had recently actually it has been a while, but with one of my children. So, I asked my child, what's your friend's name and he said Dede. And my response was that is not his name, that is not the name his Mama gave him and then my son told me, but Mama that's not what you asked me. And I was thinking, Well, of course that's what I asked you. I asked you the child's name. My son says, yeah but you didn't ask me what his Mama named him.

  • Cubes to Collaboration: a Generational Divide in The
    CUBES TO COLLABORATION: A GENERATIONAL DIVIDE IN THE WORKPLACE A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Megan Aldrich Cackett May 2018 © 2018 Megan Aldrich Cackett ABSTRACT The purpose of office space has evolved. As the workforce transitions from the baby boomer to the millennial generation, companies are changing their approach to collaborative spaces for knowledge work. Yet, expectations of an ideal workplace differ between cohorts. This study investigates the behavior and perceptions regarding collaboration space held by employees at The Boeing Company. An effort is made to consider the larger organizational ecology. Methods include observations, interviews, and a survey. Results show that there is a generational divide in perception and space use. Facilities should be strategically used as an asset to bridge this divide by aligning change management processes and participatory leadership techniques with workplace design. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Megan Cackett grew up in upstate New York, in the suburbs of Rochester. Her first introduction to strategic problem solving was as a competitor in the NASA sponsored Odyssey of the Mind program, which she competed in for nine consecutive years. Megan spent two years studying Integrated Marketing Communications at Ithaca College and completed her undergraduate coursework studying Design & Environmental Analysis at Cornell University. Megan’s work experience has primarily been in the aerospace industry, strategically planning, designing, and evaluating facilities. Additionally she has explored areas of research in both ergonomics and digital technology, with a goal of finding the intersection between these topics and design.

The band, consisting of bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus, guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba and drummer Travis Barker, began developing the album after performing touring commitments on their previous release, California (2016). While Nine is based on their collaboration with producer John Feldman, who also produced California, it also employs additional outside producers and songwriters including Captain Cuts, Futuristics and Tim Paniotta. Although Nine is consistently the eighth studio album of Blink-182, Hoppus and Barker decided to consider it the ninth, retroactively considering the 1994 band's demo, Buddha, their first. Hoppus also called the number 9 the number of universal love and the number of Uranus. The cover of the flower-washing album was written by graffiti artist RISK. Much of the album's lyricism is dark in nature and was based on world events, as well as on Hoppus's struggle with depression.

  • Generational Communication Disparities in Leadership
    GENERATIONAL COMMUNICATION DISPARITIES i GENERATIONAL COMMUNICATION DISPARITIES IN LEADERSHIP by Janelle A. Jordan _______________________ Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Business Administration ______________________ Liberty University, School of Business March 2021 GENERATIONAL COMMUNICATION DISPARITIES ii Abstract Companies seek to strategically utilize their resources and personnel to obtain an advantage over competitors. With generational diversity being a relevant topic, emphasis is placed on the strategic management of its personnel as they are essential in the innovative practices’ companies implement to evolve organizations and enable them to be viable in a dynamic business environment. The aspect of leadership methodologies is demonstrative in not only their verbal communication, but also nonverbal behaviors. Contributors to leadership styles displayed through communication cues may be emblematic of cultural upbringings and demographic differences. As organizations develop the skillsets of their personnel, diversification should be instrumental in the process particularly in emerging leaders from an array of backgrounds into leadership positions. As the variety in the organization’s demographical makeup is transforming with societal norms, it is beneficial to analyze the leadership styles and the reception of their subordinates. In delving into the peculiarities of leaders, this paper will explore the upbringings of leaders in conjunction with demographical considerations, which is inclusive of generational miscellany. Key words: generations, verbal communication, nonverbal communication, leadership. GENERATIONAL COMMUNICATION DISPARITIES iii GENERATIONAL COMMUNICATION DISPARITIES IN LEADERSHIP by Janelle A.
