World War 2 led to both increased opportunities and continued discrimination for minority groups in the US. While the war economy created jobs for women, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans, Japanese Americans were forcibly interned in camps. Over 110,000 Japanese Americans, many of them citizens, were removed from their homes and lived under quasi-military rule. The war also prompted the beginning of the modern civil rights movement as African American leaders demanded equal access to defense jobs and an end to segregation in the military. Overall, WWII accelerated changes in attitudes towards equality but discrimination still continued.

Rise of the Hybrids: Evolution of the PR and Communications Professional Prot...PR 20/20
[Keynote presentation from the May 2016 PRSA Strategic Collaboration Conference]
The rate of technology innovation, along with massive shifts in consumer behavior, have revolutionized the industry and the job market. Corporate marketing departments, small businesses and agencies struggle to recruit and retain qualified professionals for career paths that did not exist three years ago, while academic institutions are faced with the need to adapt curriculums to the real-time nature of business.
Modern PR and communications professionals must have a clear understanding of how their actions impact organizational goals. These next-generation professionals are hybrids, who are able to perform across multiple disciplines such as analytics, automation, content marketing, and mobile and social networking. They provide integrated solutions that used to require multiple agencies or in-house professionals. But these hybrids are a rare breed.
This session explores the industry’s growing talent gap, and the opportunity for PR and communications professionals to unlock their potential by evolving into prototype hybrid professionals. You’ll learn:
- How technology innovation and shifts in consumer behavior are impacting career paths.
- What traits define the hybrid professional.
- How to connect PR and communications campaigns to bottom-line results.
- How to advance yourself and your team.

In 2015 I was approached to become the CMO of Dubai (The Emirate). The goal was move the city from the fifth most visited to the #1 most visited destination on the planet by 2020.
It was an interesting challenge (one that I ended up not pursuing). But I did put together my take on how I would do the job. Here is a slightly modified version of the document I shared with the organization with my take on how to effectively market a country applied to Dubai.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Key Questions
• How does the US get involved in WWII?
How is the lead-up to war similar to, or
different from, the lead-up to WWI?
• What are the international conditions that
lead to war?
• How does WWII change America,
economically and socially?
4. Road to War
• Disintegration of
international rule of law
• Asia: Japanese expansion
in China
• Europe: Hitler’s
aggression
• European policy of
“appeasement”
7. Isolationism
• Americans saw threat as
distant, some approved of
Germany
• Many thought WWI
involvement had been a
mistake
• Neutrality Acts in
Congress, beginning 1935
8. War in Europe
• 1938: Munich Agreement
• 1939: Stalin proposes alliance to
oppose Germany, then signs non-
aggression pact with Hitler
9. Cartoons like these reflected surprise that Hitler and
Stalin, old enemies, had made a non-agression pact.
10. War in
Europe
• 1939-1940 German blitzkrieg
(lightning-war)
• 1940: Germany, Italy, Japan
form Axis
• 1940-1941: Battle of Britain
12. Toward Intervention
• FDR sees Hitler as a
threat, but most
Americans want to
stay out of war
• 1940:“cash and carry”
arms to Britain
13. Toward
Intervention
• Dissent:America First
Committee -
• 100,000s of members
• Celebrities: including Henry
Ford, Father Coughlin, Charles
A. Lindbergh
• Check out a speech by
Charles Lindbergh to America
First on the next slide!

16. Toward
Intervention
• 1940: FDR runs
for third term,
wins
• 1941: Lend-Lease
Act

17. Pearl Harbor
• Focus on Europe until
late November 1941
• December 7, 1941:
Japanese planes bomb
naval base at Pearl
Harbor
• Surprise attack - 2,000
US servicemen killed
• FDR declares war
21. Casualties of War
• 13.6 million German casualties
in WWII; 10 million from
Russian front
• Millions of Poles and at least 20
million Russians died as soldiers
and civilian victims of starvation,
disease, and massacres by
German soldiers
• Mass extermination of
“undesirables” - Slavs, gypsies,
homosexuals, above all Jews - 6
million Jews died in Nazi death
camps
22. Conclusions: US in WWII
• As in WWI, public hesitant to get involved
in war
• FDR’s leadership is decisive in road to war
• As in WWI, US participation is decisive -
industrial capacity crucial in this “gross
national product” war
23. The Home Front
• Federally-directed mobilization
• Wartime manufacturing marvels:
• 1000s of aircraft, 100,000
armored vehicles, 2.5 million
trucks
• synthetic rubber, radar, jet
engines, early computers
24. The Home
Front
• The rise of the West
Coast:
• CA gets 10% of all
federal spending
• 2 million people to
CA for defense jobs
• Labor in war - union
recognition required,
but no-strike pledge
26. Key Themes
• WWII created opportunities for
disadvantaged and oppressed groups to
demand rights in the U.S.
• The major exception to this was Japanese
immigrants and Japanese Americans, who
were placed in internment camps during the
war.
• Unlike WWI,WWII moved us toward a
more inclusive society - partly because
Hitler’s racism was linked to such clear evil.

30. Title:
Pfc. Thomas Higa, 27-year-old Japanese
American war veteran and smallest member
of the 100th Battalion, who is in Denver to
tell other Japanese Americans about the
wonderful treatment the United States Army
gives its soldiers. Higa was wounded at the
battle of Cassino in the Italian campaign. He
is but 5' 1-1/2 and declares this to be a
decided advantage because he makes a
smaller target to the enemy. Higa was
inducted into the Unites States Army in
June, 1941, and was stationed at Schofield
Barracks, Honolulu, on the day Pearl Harbor
was attacked. From Honolulu, he was sent
to Camp McCoy, Wisconsin, thence to
Camp Shelby, Mississippi. He went
overseas in August, 1943, landed at Oran,
Algeria, and going directly to Salerno. He
hopes to return to the fighting front and
doesn't care where it may be so long as he
is fighting the enemy of freedom loving
people. -- Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru --

pot, especially for
European
immigrants
• Races and Racism
(1942) - racism as “a
travesty of scientific
knowledge”
• Still, discrimination
against Jews at
home

• Progress in battles for equality during WWII because:
• Demands of wartime economy (women AND ethnic/
racial minorities)

ideological/political support for racial equality
• After the war: women back home; Japanese economic
losses
