Organizational culture refers to the shared actions, beliefs, and routines that characterize a workplace. A culture emerges from how people in an organization interact and the values they share. It is shaped by both external adaptation and internal integration. Workplace culture can be seen through events employees participate in together, as well as in depictions of offices in media like The Office TV show and Waiting movie. The culture of one organization, the NWSF, was dysfunctional due to a lack of communication between committees and participant groups, which prevented the culture from uniting people and led the different parts to break off into separate cultures.
- Neighborhood opportunity mapping analyzes access to opportunities like education, employment, transportation, and health across regions to understand spatial inequities.
- Maps are powerful visual tools that can efficiently display large amounts of data and tell stories to inform people and help solve problems.
- Research shows living in high poverty, segregated neighborhoods limits access to opportunities and success due to conditions and isolation from resources. This cumulative impact perpetuates inequities over time.
- Opportunity mapping assesses where communities with access to opportunities exist and where underserved communities lack access, to understand and address inequities at a regional scale.
“Would You Wear It?” is a campaign to challenge racism within GLBT communities initiated by ACON. This presentation was given at the AFAO HIV Educators' Conference 2008.
The document discusses two models of communication - the transmission view and the ritual view. The transmission view sees communication as the process of transmitting messages to produce effects or change in individuals. The ritual view sees communication as a process of creating and sharing meanings to draw people together and affirm social values. James Carey's work discusses how communication, through symbolic forms like language, rituals, and culture, works to produce, maintain and transform shared social reality and meanings.
Complex Exchange: Building Equity Through PartnershipMuseumNext
The document discusses how museums can partner to address inequity. It proposes bringing together unexpected pairings of artists, designers, activists, historians, gallerists, policy makers, makers and critics. It also discusses pairing traditions with innovation. The program paired presenters from the African American community with museum staff to have open conversations. Lessons learned were to reflect equity in process and content, understand the difference between equity and equality, and address perceptions of institutions versus community organizations. The conclusion calls on others to take this model of partnership and address inequity, then provide feedback to continue improving practices.
This document summarizes a seminar on culture and power. The seminar will examine how cultural factors impact employee success, policies, systems and programs. It will explore perceptions of power across cultures and how culture influences communication and relationship conflicts. Participants will learn about cultural dimensions and leadership styles to accommodate different power distance cultures. A panel of diversity leaders from major companies will discuss cultural challenges and strategies in the workplace.
This document discusses two main views of communication: the transmission view and the ritual view.
The transmission view sees communication as the sending and receiving of messages over distance through various technologies and channels. It focuses on the transmission of information from a sender to a receiver. The ritual view, alternatively, sees communication as central to forming and sustaining communities through shared rituals and meanings. It emphasizes how communication helps create and reinforce social bonds and relationships over time.
The document also examines the different assumptions about reality held by the transmission and ritual views of communication. The transmission view sees reality as separate from communication, which aims to accurately describe an objective external world. In contrast, the ritual view is that communication helps produce reality by constructing symbolic

High- and Low-context cultures in electronic communications andNautilus Pompilius
Edward Hall proposed the theory of high- and low-context cultures. High-context cultures rely more on implicit communication and context, while low-context cultures prefer explicit communication. Websites from high-context cultures like Russia and Macedonia tend to use more multimedia, animations, and images of groups, while websites from low-context cultures like the US and Germany contain more direct text-based information and images of individuals. The document analyzes how cultural differences between high- and low-context societies are reflected in their tourism websites.
This document summarizes a panel discussion on the impact of culture on women and success. The panel examines several cultural theories including cultural dimensions theory and cultural attachment theory. It explores how culture shapes organizational culture and individuals. The panel also discusses how culture affects leadership and strategies for leadership development. The panelists then engage in a discussion on these topics and take questions from the audience.
Developmental Disabilities Administration Cross Cultural CommunicationRosetta Eun Ryong Lee
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.
This document discusses the role of a "keynote listener" whose goal is to listen empathetically to all contributors at an event, rearticulate their comments in a way that integrates their perspectives into the broader system context, and help unlock latent potential for growth. The author argues that such a role could help disrupt existing paradigms and power structures in a compassionate way, enabling more transformational dialogue and exploration of alternative solutions to urgent global problems. By temporarily opening minds and creating safe spaces for respectful self-differentiation and reintegration of ideas, the author believes a keynote listener could help catalyze positive system change without compromising integrity.
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.

Geertz and Pacanowsky describe organizations as having their own unique cultures formed through shared meanings and understandings between individuals. An organization's culture consists of the corporate culture - its image, character, and climate - which is communicated through stories. There are three types of stories: corporate stories shared by management, personal stories employees share about themselves, and collegial stories employees tell about one another. While culture provides understanding, manipulating it can be difficult and unethical for managers. The cultural approach aims to better understand how to function effectively within an organization's culture.
Learning Objective: Explore skills to manage highly competitive workforce
The modern workforce is transforming from employees to valuable contributors, strategists, and subject matter superstars. Effective managers and leaders must creatively engage employees and seek new ways to honor and utilize increasing knowledge and talent. This seminar will review the unique challenges of managing highly intelligent STEM leaders and explore winning strategies to maximize potential and get the most out of teams.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Explore types of employees and workforce teams.
b. Examine situational leadership strategies.
c. Identify creative leadership approaches to engage and retain great talent.
d. Examine new workforce trends, options, and challenges.
The document discusses the concept of representation in media. It states that representation helps audiences make sense of the world in particular ways by constructing meanings about people, situations, ideas and values. Representations become familiar through constant reuse and come to feel natural. While representations may seem transparent, they are actually constructed selectively. Theories of representation discussed include those of Laura Mulvey on media positioning the audience as male, and Antonio Gramsci on hegemony and the projection of dominant ways of seeing the world.
Narrative as vocation discernment presentationAnna Trester
This document discusses using narrative analysis and ethnography to discern vocations. It provides examples of analyzing narratives from different organizations, including the Peace Corps, Organization for Autism Research, and the State Department. Analyzing narratives can provide insight into an organization's values and identity by examining linguistic choices like positioning, deixis, referring expressions, and negation. The document argues that narrative is an important way for institutions and individuals to construct identities and represent themselves.
The document discusses the concept of representation in media. It explains that representation involves how media constructs meanings about the world that help audiences make sense of it. Representations become familiar through constant reuse and come to feel natural. While representations may seem transparent, they are actually constructed selectively. The music video for "Take Me To Church" by Hozier is discussed as an example of representation dealing with sexuality and homophobia through its portrayal of a homosexual relationship facing opposition.
This document discusses key concepts around representation in media including:
- Representations re-present events that have already occurred rather than presenting reality directly.
- Representations invite audiences to understand and agree with a particular interpretation.
- Media institutions have power and responsibility over representations that can influence social attitudes.
- Stereotypes simplify representations and focus on exaggerating aspects to enable quick audience understanding but often have negative assumptions.
- Ideologies embedded in media texts reflect dominant beliefs and expectations in a culture.
- Genres may have associated representations and stereotypes that aid understanding of narratives.

The document discusses representations in media and stereotypes. It explains that representations can take many forms, from single images to full programs, and that media representations influence how social groups are viewed. Stereotypes are an extreme form of representation that focus on exaggerated traits to instantly convey meaning but oversimplify characters. Stereotypes are often used when there is a power imbalance between social groups and can encourage negative views of minorities. The document asks what stereotypes are used in some TV drama extracts and what interpretations are intended for the audience.

This document discusses the use of insults and coarse language in social interaction. It covers topics like speech acts, social genres, social structure, politeness theory, and social solidarity. Profanity is examined as a way to gain attention or make attacks, though it can also build social solidarity. Politeness theory identifies how language respects people's positive and negative face needs. Different social contexts lead to different language genres, and language helps establish social classes and show respect.

This document provides lesson materials on the concept of representation for a media studies exam preparation. It includes two lessons on representation, with the second focusing on planning an essay question applying representation to a coursework production. The lessons define representation, discuss its importance, and provide examples of how it can be analyzed in media texts. Key theories and theorists on representation such as Laura Mulvey, Richard Dyer, and David Buckingham are outlined. Students are guided in identifying representational concepts in their own work and planning a structured essay applying representation theory.
The document discusses the Adolescent Media Practice (AMP) model, which views youth as active and critical consumers of media. The AMP model explains how adolescents use media for identity development and socialization. It focuses on how youth select, pay attention to, interact with and apply media to their lives. The model has limitations but aims to better understand the relationship between media and youth identity formation.
Representation involves how identities are constructed within media and how those constructions are received by audiences of differing identities. Media representation can involve stereotyping around class, age, gender, ethnicity, and other identity markers. Representation theorists examine how representations link to concepts like the abject in horror genres, referring to the human reaction when distinctions between self and other break down.
This document provides an introduction to media literacy, outlining its key concepts and analytical approaches. It defines media literacy as the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and produce various forms of communication. The document then discusses how to analyze different media formats, including print texts, still images, and video. It emphasizes examining the technical features and embedded meanings within each format, as well as considering the social and historical context of production and reception. The goal of media literacy is to develop a critical understanding of how media shapes beliefs and society.

This document provides an overview of media, language and power from a cultural studies perspective. It discusses two approaches to communication - the process approach which sees it as a transaction between individuals, and the cultural approach which focuses on how meaning is negotiated within cultural contexts. It then examines the nature of media through these lenses. The document also summarizes key concepts from structuralism and semiotics, such as how Ferdinand de Saussure analyzed language and meaning as relational rather than inherent. It discusses how ideologies shape meaning and communication dynamics, and questions we can ask of texts from this critical cultural studies viewpoint.

ELPUB 2018 Feminist Open Science workshopLeslie Chan
This was the slides for the workshop on Feminist Open Science presented at ELPUB2018 in Toronto. Notes for the session is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zr51nZ4VRjVNLixeRc_4SPa-liSALADLTbJ1RUJYcpo/edit
"This workshop will centre on how current discourse around Open Science has tended to focus on the creation of new technological platforms and tools to facilitate sharing and reuse of a wide range of research outputs, but has largely avoided tackling many important issues related to inclusion of a diversity of perspectives in science. We believe a feminist perspective can help to surface these issues, particularly with regard to the need for inclusive infrastructure, which are especially important as Open Science increasingly becomes part of government agendas and policies. We expect that researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in Open Science will benefit from this workshop to think about issues of inclusivity in Open Science that are not receiving sufficient attention. We expect participants who attend this workshop will gain awareness about relevant resources and work that has been done by feminist technoscience scholars to expand the perspectives of Open Science. We hope that participants will take away new possibilities for their work that they may not have considered before. For policy makers, this workshop will be particularly relevant to help think about how evidence for Open Science should be assessed from a more feminist inclusive standpoint. The workshop will also present results from a two-day workshop on Feminist Open Science that will take place prior to the ELPUB workshop, with the intent of soliciting feedback and collaboration."
Open Access in the Global South: Perspectives from the OCSDNetLeslie Chan
Webinar for COAR (Confederation of Open Access Repositories) May 3, 2018.
The webinar will focus on the lessons learn from the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network with regard to "openness" and how an expanded view of openness would allow us to rethink the design of a sustainable, open and community based common scholarship infrastructure.
Beyond Licensing - OCSDNet and Openness Leslie Chan
Openness has been too narrowly defined in the past and findings from OCSDNet suggest that we need to see openness as a process that is highly dynamic and situational, not a set of fixed conditions to be met.
Open Access Advocacy: Failure and Successes Leslie Chan
In this presentation I share personal reflection with regard to failures in Open Access advocacy, and draw lessons on how we could move forward based on past mistakes.
Aligning Open Access with the Social Justice Mission of Public UniversityLeslie Chan
In this talk I provide an extended argument on why we need to shift the narrative about Open Access from one emphasizing the university's research prowess to Open Access as university's commitment to its public mission.
Presentation at a public event at C asean, hosted by the National Innovation Agency of Thailand. This talk provides an overview of the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network, its history, goals, research objectives and the network partners. In particular, it highlights the rationale behind the drafting of a set of principles underlying a vision of open science that has at its core a commitment to equitable participation in the production and circulation of scientific knowledge.
The Future of Open Science and How to Stop itLeslie Chan
Presentation at the Open Science panel at the launch of Steps Latina America. The talk attempts to situate the rational and objectives of the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network within the broader landscape of discourse on "openness". While recognizing the potential benefits of openness, it is important to keep in mind the existing structural inequality in global scientific knowledge production and circulation and reflect on the needs to challenge this power asymmetry as a starting point for further understanding on how open science may contribute to development challenges.

Open Access, Journal, Institutional Repository and BeyondLeslie Chan
Presentation at the Scholarly Communication Retreat, St. Michael's College, University of Toronto. Oct.6, 2015. This talk is a personal perspective on Open Access and what I see as the key impetus for engaging in open access practices. I highlight some recent innovations, both in terms of tools and modes of collaborative research enabled by OA. I also highlight recent developments in financial models in support of OA journal and monograph publishing.
Strengthening the Sustainable Development Goals with Open Access and Open S...Leslie Chan
The SDGs represent challenges in advancing the broad access to information agenda because of the divergent goals and proliferating targets and indicators. At the same time, the broadness of many of the goals presents opportunities for the agenda, particularly in the form of open access and open science, to embed itself at the core, thus allowing concrete actions and policies to be formulated in order to achieve tangible development outcomes. I will focus in particular on Goal 9 (“Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”) and argue that information and knowledge are essential infrastructure needed to build local research capacity which are in turn the foundation for sustainable development. The growing understanding of the importance of sharing methods and results throughout the research life cycle further demands the need for appropriate infrastructure. Examples of such infrastructure, such as data and publication repositories, already exist at some local level, but they are often fragmented and lack adequate resources. It is therefore important for FAO/IFLA/COAR to continue to advocate for the development of knowledge infrastructure and to ensure that policies are in place to support their long term sustainability.
The Impact of World University Rankings on Research and Curriculum Developmen...Leslie Chan
The talk identifies the impact of “world university rankings” on research and curriculum development, particularly for universities in the global South. It is argued that relevance of local research and community engagement are better indicators of ‘excellence’ in the university and we need to rethink assumptions behind "objective" indicators that are underlying most of the major world rankings. These rankings have the effect of rendering research from the developing world invisible and dictating curriculum development oriented towards market needs of the global North. Such rankings thus represent a form of social and cognitive exclusion and institution of higher education should strongly resist this agenda, and formulate other forms of "excellence" based on social inclusion and community engagement.
What is research metrics and do we need them? Leslie Chan
This document summarizes discussions from an international seminar on open science. It addresses questions about whether current academic reward systems recognize diverse research outputs enabled by digital tools. While current metrics are poor, they are difficult to replace. "Altmetrics" are proposed as an alternative but their ability to capture meaningful data is uncertain. The document advocates broadening the definition of research success and value to include social impact. It discusses using "social accounting" to better represent the contributions of academic institutions to stakeholders. Overall it calls for rethinking how knowledge and scholarship are defined in light of new opportunities from open science.
What is Open Science and what role does it play in Development?Leslie Chan
What is Open Science and what role does it play in Development?
The talk begins with a review of current understanding of open science and its alleged role in providing new opportunities for addressing long-standing development challenges. I then introduce the newly launched Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network, funded by IDRC Canada, and in collaboration with iHub Nairobi, Kenya. The rationale, funding modalities, and the short and long term objectives of the network will be discussed.

Rethinking Media imperalism and DevelopmentLeslie Chan
The document discusses the theory of media imperialism and critiques of its key assumptions. It questions whether the dominance of Western media is overstated, noting the roles of states, local organizations, and audiences. It also acknowledges the importance of local cultural contexts. The popularity of media imperialism theory over past decades is examined, as well as its declining relevance today due to changing perspectives on local versus Western content in the globalized, digital media environment.
