Visual sources in the visions of Julian of Norwich

Includes bibliographical references (pages [100]-106)The visions of Christ's Passion which Julian of Norwich experienced in 1373 reflect visual imagery commonly found in fourteenth-century manuscript illuminations. Some scholars have noted that Julian of Norwich's written descriptions of her mystical experience particularly resemble East Anglian painting. However, they do not explain what these resemblances are or mention specific works of art which are similar to Julian’s visions. This paper will examine the similarities between East Anglian manuscript illuminations and Julian’s descriptions of her visions, and suggest possible visual sources for the imagery in her visions.M.A. (Master of Arts

Business ethics competencies research: implications for Canadian practitioners

This paper describes a proposed framework of knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) that a practitioner who is competent in business ethics, compliance, or integrity should possess. These competencies may be leveraged as key input to selecting content for an institutionalized business ethics training program. The focus in this paper is on the management problem of 'What competencies are important for job performance of business ethics practitioners'. Phase I consisted of developing a provisional taxonomy of business ethics competencies and Phase II involved academic and industry practitioners implicated in business ethics to validate the conceptually developed provisional taxonomy of business ethics competencies to eventually make recommendations regarding the selection of business ethics training content. The contribution to the business ethics competency-based management knowledge that is presented in this paper is a proposed business ethics competency model and the implications of this model for Canadian practitioners are discussed
