Scheurich, Ph.D., Chair ______________________________________ Lasana Kazembe, Ph.D. May 14, 2020 ______________________________________ Henry Merrill, Ed.D. ______________________________________ Khaula Murtadha, Ph.D. ii DEDICATION First, I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my mother, Dorothy Jean Williams Duff and to my father, Myron C. Duff, Sr. They are no longer with us, but they impressed upon me the importance of furthering my education and the impact it can have on my future. Their pushing, insisting, encouraging, and supporting led me to this place in my life’s journey and it is fitting that my dissertation be dedicated to their memory. This dissertation is also dedicated to my grandparents, Rev. David A. Williams, Sr. and Margaret Ridley Williams who served as positive examples of manhood, womanhood, and a godly marriage. They are also no longer with us, but they taught me how to cultivate a love for Christ, to earnestly pursue a deep relationship with Him, to seek His will in all things, and to allow His Word to serve as the foundation for every aspect of my life. To my children, Antoine, Alyjah, Averee’, and Ahmaad, I dedicate this dissertation to you because you served as my personal motivators for completing this goal.

  • Hidden Voices and Disengagement: the Gift of Learning from Political Earthquakes IES Perspectives on HR 2017
    Paper Hidden voices and disengagement: the gift of learning from political earthquakes IES Perspectives on HR 2017 Amanda Callen, Senior Research Fellow March 2017 Member Paper 132 We didn’t see that coming 2016 was a politically astonishing year for many people. For others, however, it was the first year that they finally made themselves heard. A year when people whose voices had previously been contained and often disregarded, took the opportunities of the UK referendum and the US presidential election to propel their countries, and their astonished leaders, into momentous change. One of the most striking things unifying the two voting results was the complete failure of many people to see the results coming. We know that the polls almost entirely missed the target, even up to and including the final day of voting. The politically powerful failed, or perhaps refused, to believe that so many people could feel so strongly that they would overturn the status quo and propel the nation into risky, uncharted territory. The news media too, largely failed to predict the result, almost until results were declared, listening mostly only to voices from within existing power structures. It seems no one in power listened to, or took seriously, the voices of the people who were finally given a chance to be heard through the ballot box. Only long after the horse had bolted was the security of the stable door examined. Organisations can learn from politics about listening, without the pain This is all rich navel-gazing fodder for political and social commentators to ponder and dissect and since the elections there has been much debate about how ‘everyone’ got it so wrong.
