  • True Cost Accounting for Food; Balancing the Scale; First Edition
    “Our economic system – particularly business accounting processes do not (yet) include a mechanism for recognizing the invisible value of people and nature. True Cost Accounting provides a method for including these values in business internal decision-making metrics and processes as well as reporting to financial markets. In today’s operating environment, business more than ever needs to demonstrate a purpose beyond maximizing financial value creation for shareholders. This purpose should include generating social, human, and natural capital value for all stakeholders.” — Peter Bakker, President and CEO, World Business Council for Sustainable Development “True Cost Accounting for Food provides in-depth analysis of the environ- mental, health, and social costs of food systems that are rarely captured in the price of food today. This valuable collection breaks new ground and offers important insights into how these externalities can be better accoun- ted for in ways that contribute toward positive change in food systems.” — Jennifer Clapp, Professor and Canada Research Chair, University of Waterloo “True Cost Accounting is the starting point for any serious conversation about reforming food systems. This is no coincidence: prices shall continue to lie, until social costs are incorporated and set the right incentives to guide the choices of both producers and consumers. This book provides therefore more than a state of play: it’sanessentialtoolforfutureadvocacyefforts.” — Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human

  • Applying a Rhizomatic Lens to Television Genres
    A THOUSAND TV SHOWS: APPLYING A RHIZOMATIC LENS TO TELEVISION GENRES _______________________________________ A Dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________________ by NETTIE BROCK Dr. Ben Warner, Dissertation Supervisor May 2018 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the Dissertation entitled A Thousand TV Shows: Applying A Rhizomatic Lens To Television Genres presented by Nettie Brock A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________________________ Ben Warner ________________________________________________________ Elizabeth Behm-Morawitz ________________________________________________________ Stephen Klien ________________________________________________________ Cristina Mislan ________________________________________________________ Julie Elman ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Someone recently asked me what High School Nettie would think about having written a 300+ page document about television shows. I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.
