Welsh t It’s the people who make a field. This book draws on the thought-provoking, diverse, delightful, sometimes painful, and ultimately beautiful personal histories of some of the thinkers, inventors, influ- encers, reformers, disrupters, and transformers who have created—and continue to create—the field of conflict reso- lution. The authors of the essays in this book play a variety of roles: mediator, facilitator, arbitrator, ombuds, academ- ic, system designer, entrepreneur, leader of public or pri- vate conflict resolution organization, researcher, advocate for conflict resolution, critic of conflict resolution. They represent the various waves of people who have populated our field, the founders, the institutionalizers, and the lead- ers of change. In his chapter, Peter Adler writes, “Stories are ancient and enduring avenues of human exchange and one of the ways we make discoveries. Stories create hypotheses, explain things, and sometimes connect us to each other and older enduring narratives.” And so it is with the histo- ries in this book. The narratives of our contributors allow us to understand the conflict resolution field’s real, on-the- ground reason for being, the beating heart underlying its principles. We are not necessarily talking about the prin- 2 Evolution of a Field: Personal Histories in Conflict Resolution ciples captured in textbooks or ethics codes; we’re think- ing of the values, aspirations, and characteristics that have inspired people to become involved with the field, stay with it, and even wrestle with it. We think this book and its personal histories come at an important time, one when the field of conflict resolu- tion is at an inflection point. Conflict resolution is now a recognized discipline, widely institutionalized in law and graduate schools, often introduced to students as early as elementary school, frequently used to resolve legal and other disputes, and regularly enforced by our courts. The founders of the field, people such as Frank Sander, Mar- garet Shaw, and Roger Fisher, have left this earthly world behind, and other pioneers have retired or are close to retiring. A next generation awaits, with many who are eager to shape the field’s evolution. Our people and communi- ties face new challenges, new causes for conflict, and new reasons to reach resolution of—or at least manage—those conflicts. Technology is an exciting and ubiquitous part of our lives. So this seems an especially opportune time for people who have played key roles in conflict resolution to reflect upon the experiences, goals, mentors, colleagues, and institutions that have informed their careers and guid- ed their contributions. The approach of this book is unusual for at least two reasons. First, as many of us who have talked with col- leagues know, when neutrals describe their work, they generally begin with the stories that parties tell: what fix the parties are in, how they relate to others around them, what brought them to conflict resolution, and what break- throughs or interventions led to the resolution of their disputes. Neutrals rarely scrutinize their own lives and influences to probe for the underlying values and mean- ing they convey. Writing for this book required all the Discovering Our Field in Our Stories 3 contributors—the neutrals, the entrepreneurs, and the academics—to reflect deeply on these matters. This book’s approach is also unusual because although we urged each writer to address some core questions and ideas, we gave them free rein to decide what to say and how to say it. The result is a collection of the principles and aspirations that have actually guided people within our field, not those that have been said to do so. Twenty-three individuals, each in his or her own voice and own way, have all tried to make sense of who they are, what they do, and how and why they do it. We are indebted, first and foremost, to our contribu- tors, those who have made this book so much more than just curated CVs. They are accomplished and self-reflective individuals, people open to locating their thinking, actions, and choices in the context of their historical epoch as well as their cultural, social, and even familial context. We find great variety, insight, and wisdom in these 23 stories,

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

  • The Use of Short-Term Group Music Therapy for Female College Students with Depression and Anxiety by Barbara Ashton a Thesis P
    The Use of Short-Term Group Music Therapy for Female College Students with Depression and Anxiety by Barbara Ashton A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Approved April 2013 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Barbara Crowe, Chair Robin Rio Mary Davis ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2013 ABSTRACT There is a lack of music therapy services for college students who have problems with depression and/or anxiety. Even among universities and colleges that offer music therapy degrees, there are no known programs offering music therapy to the institution's students. Female college students are particularly vulnerable to depression and anxiety symptoms compared to their male counterparts. Many students who experience mental health problems do not receive treatment, because of lack of knowledge, lack of services, or refusal of treatment. Music therapy is proposed as a reliable and valid complement or even an alternative to traditional counseling and pharmacotherapy because of the appeal of music to young women and the potential for a music therapy group to help isolated students form supportive networks. The present study recruited 14 female university students to participate in a randomized controlled trial of short-term group music therapy to address symptoms of depression and anxiety. The students were randomly divided into either the treatment group or the control group. Over 4 weeks, each group completed surveys related to depression and anxiety. Results indicate that the treatment group's depression and anxiety scores gradually decreased over the span of the treatment protocol. The control group showed either maintenance or slight worsening of depression and anxiety scores.

Abstract This qualitative study explores the mental health experiences of African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) youth in London, Ontario, investigating how the factors of race, gender, culture, and place have shaped their perceptions and experiences of mental health. The data collection and analysis were conducted using a phenomenological approach and a critical lens informed by feminist, intersectionality, and critical race theories. These data illuminate the ways in which these young people’s attitudes toward mental health and help-seeking strategies are impacted by broader social constructs and community expectations, which they navigate and often resist in their everyday lives.

Interface: a journal for and about social movements Article Volume 4 (2): 438 - 458 (November 2012) Wrenn, Abolitionist Animal Rights Abolitionist animal rights: critical comparisons and challenges within the animal rights movement Corey Wrenn Abstract The abolitionist movement is an emergent and radical approach to nonhuman animal rights. Calling for a complete cessation in nonhuman animal use through the abolishing of property status for nonhuman animals and an adoption of veganism and nonviolence, this approach stands in stark contrast to mainstream approaches such as humane production and welfare reform. This paper describes the goals and stances of abolitionism; the basic debate between abolitionism and other nonhuman animal rights movements; and the current state, challenges, and future prospects for abolitionism. It is argued that abolitionism, as developed by Francione, is the only morally consistent approach for taking the interests of nonhuman animals seriously.

During the event, students repeated their de- mands for changes to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to Mangelsdorf directly. This move follows last semester’s overnight occu- pation of the DPS parking lot where URAC protes- tors voiced their demands to University President Sarah Manglesdorf and DPS chief Mark Fischer, who promised further discussion. “[President Manglesdorf] had promised us that night [...] that she would be starting to actually have progress with this mental health task force to institute Daniel’s [Law] on campus, and ensure that cops [...] and campus police do not respond to mental health calls on this campus,” URAC orga- nizer and senior Antoinette Nguyen said. “Howev- er, there’s been no update regarding that.” The protest began at the steps of Rush Rhees Li- brary, where many of their actions have started in the past. At around 4:30 p.m., organizers went over the plans to the group of roughly 30 people around the steps.

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.
