What is the (potential) place of the social sciences and arts and humanities within the Ecosystem Approach and associated decision making.Ica 2017 arctic nrm
Presented at the International Communication Association 2017 annual conference, at San Diego, CA, May 28
In the U.S., where policy action on climate change and natural resource management (NRM) is piecemeal at best, the fragile Arctic has predictably been hampered by political wrangling and corporate lobbying. This paper examines the obstacles encountered by organizations pursuing NRM in the U.S. Arctic, and how they are able to nonetheless enact effective NRM. I adopt a stakeholder perspective, drawing from communication research on sustainable organizing to trace ongoing tensions of local/global, science/community, and social/environmental in the Arctic. The qualitative study is based on interviews with 28 actors, fieldwork in five different sites, and analysis of key texts. Findings revealed a number of structural and communicative challenges to NRM, hinging on discursive closure. However, participants identified three overarching themes of effective NRM that were being accomplished—related to decision-making, everyday communicative work, and risk management for both institutional and environmental uncertainties. Both theoretical and practical implications are considered.
Greenhill Cross Cultural Communication
Humans communicate on many levels: spoken language, tone, body language, style and personality. The fact that we have complex cultural identities and a host of differing past experiences increases the probability of cross-cultural miscommunications. This workshop presents major cross-cultural communication theories, ways that cultural values, power, privilege and differences affect the way we communicate, tools for questioning assumptions, and ways to improve cross-cultural communications skills.

ISM Cultural Competency Leadership
As leaders of our institutions, we need to have strategic vision and global understanding to manage meaningful change. What demographic and philosophical changes make diversity and inclusion an imperative value added rather than a desired additive? What factors help us understand where the school is on the spectrum of exclusive clubs to inclusive organizations? How do we move our communities strategically at the pace that is right for the school? What are some best practices for getting the right people to the school and leveraging their talents? How do we sustain our positive growth over time? Discuss these questions and gather tools to help our schools become the leading edge of cultural competency, inclusion, and equity.

NCA 2020: Friends, Funds, and Faculty: What Careers and Meaningful Work Mean...
Presented at the annual conference of the National Communication Association 2020: This study provides a more in-depth analysis of the lived experiences of graduate students in the discipline of Communication as they find meaning in, and make sense of, their work and their career expectations. As the experiences of graduate students and the dynamic context of graduate school continue to evolve, it is increasingly important to better understand how meaningfulness of work and sensemaking of students’ lives impacts the communication field. Given the overwhelming focus on faculty experience, with little if any focus on the lived experiences of graduate students in the current body of research, this study fills a gap while providing insight into a high stress career path. The implications of this study will provide deeper insight into the individual and organizational outcomes related to graduate school and the graduate student experience.

I was honored to be the Keynote speaker at the 2020 Institute of Social Change, an annual week-long focus on public scholarship and social change, organized by the Rackham Graduate School. Although we switched to an online format because of COVID-19, I liked how that allowed us to address different themes and try more than one format. The first hour was much like a normal keynote -- my talk, titled "Rethinking both “Public” and “Scholarship” in “Public Scholarship: (Ongoing) Lessons from the Detroit Water Stories Project" for 40 minutes and then 20 minutes of Q&A. For the second hour (after an hour-long lunch break), I proposed a more conversational format, without any slides, and we talked about a gadzillion topics -- academic and nonacademic career arcs, interdisciplinary research, specific tools and practices for research translation, how to be a good partner to grassroots organizations, the kind of support universities need to provide for effective public scholarship, and so on. I was grateful for the opportunity to reflect on our journey so far, and how we can further evolve to best assist the #WaterWarriors who are on the frontlines of this ongoing crisis. Thank you to all my wonderful colleagues, students, and community guides/partners/participants who I am privileged to work with. Please cite this presentation as follows, if you use the ideas advanced here:

harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

NCA 2020: Lived and Imagined Places as Sites of Organizing
- 1. Lived and Imagined Places as Sites of Organizing Rahul Mitra Associate Professor, Wayne State University Email: Rahul.mitra@wayne.edu
- 2. Guiding Questions 1. How have space/place informed your research? 2. What does your research illuminate about the spatial politics of organizing?
- 3. Place and Space in Current RISE Lab Research Detroit Water Stories (DWS) • Goal: To gather, share and analyze oral histories of Detroiters’ water (in)security around mass water shutoffs Transformation and Resilience through Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (TREE) • Goal: To examine the emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem in Detroit and help design structures and processes mindful of grassroots concerns
- 4. Place and Organizing Material Discursive • Place has always been both material and discursive, local and global, riven with social histories, culture and ecological conditions/entities • But there is another tension at stake, between the lived and the imaginary (or aspirational). This highlights the tension between “what is” and “what could be”, between actuality and potentiality Lived Imaginary Local Global
- 5. Place as Lived and Imaginary • This is not a dichotomy of real versus fake, nor a temporal distinction (at least a mutually exclusive one) between present and past/future • Occupying both “home” and “host” (refugee and immigration studies – Sara Amed, Jasbir Puar, Karma Chavez, Sara McKinnon, Radhika Gajjala, Devika Chawla, Julia Kristeva) • Imagined communities connected via discourses and technologies (Arjun Appadurai, Benedict Anderson, Shiv Ganesh) • Actuality and potentiality, or moving from “energeia” to “dynamis” (Aristotle, Giorgio Agamben)
- 6. Possible “Areas of Concern” for Organizational Communication Scholarship • Continued focus on “place-making” • Infrastructure technologies • Governance and policies • Community design and implementation Place Well-being Resources Justice Policy Accountability Technology
- 7. Studying Place during COVID-19 • Archival and historical methods • Centering emotion and evocation in narrative interviews • Arts-based approaches, such as sketching/drawing and photo/video-voice elicitation • Digital diaries • Maps and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools
- 8. Thank you! Please send me your thoughts and feedback at Rahul.mitra@wayne.edu
