    Collegiality as a Dirty Word? Implementing Collegiality Policies in Institutions of Higher Education

    Get PDF
    Abstract: Collegiality is integral to the healthy functioning of any academic department and is a necessary professional attribute for new faculty, who often spent their graduate school careers with relatively little involvement in institutional politics, to develop. However, the recent trend to explicitly outline tenure and promotion requirements for collegial behavior gives us pause. We question if a collegiality statement for tenure and promotion could function as yet another obstacle between faculty from background that have historically been underrepresented in the academy (women, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, people with disabilities, etcetera) and their bids for tenure

    Imaginary Ancestors

    Get PDF
    Imaginary Ancestors” is a short story collection of historiographic metafiction that follows a colonial family’s journey in New France and later Canada, bound tightly with the fate of a species of magic pear trees. Each story represents a moment in the life of one of the narrator’s kin, focusing chiefly on the first of his ancestors in the Americas—a farmer named Marin. As Marin’s story, both real and imagined, unfolds, the narrator confronts the dichotomy between the oral tradition his family has sustained through the centuries, and the lack of corroborating sources in the historiography. As the narrator grapples with gaps in his historical records, he is helped— and hindered—by the ghost of an ancestor, whose pressure for accuracy begins to conflict with the family legend that serves as the narrator’s obsession. Utilising the flaws and holes in the historical sources he possesses, the narrator writes his own past into the blank spaces around him, creating, and codifying his own “Imaginary Ancestors

    Why do honest and decent employees sometimes overstep the mark? What makes managers with integrity go off the rails? What causes well-meaning organizations to deceive their clients, employees and shareholders? Social psychology offers surprising answers to these intriguing and timely questions. Drawing on scientific experiments and examples from business practice, Muel Kaptein discusses why good people sometimes do bad things and how they rise above this behavior. He explains why cheats wear sunglasses, why overstepping the mark could be a good thing, how a surplus of rules creates offenders and why we should be suspicious of colleagues who wash their hands after meetings
