Ethnographic Animation: Participatory Design With the Longhorn Maio

This research argues animation can be used as an innovative form of ethnographic documentary. Firstly, post-colonialism in ethnographic documentary will be discussed; and then I shall illustrate what representational strategies can be used in presenting minorities’ customs from their own perspective. Finally, principles of participatory design will also be addressed

A cross-disciplinary review of crisis spillover research:Spillover types, risk factors, and response strategies

The spillover effect of crises has become an emerging research topic in the field of crisis communication, however to our knowledge a cross-disciplinary review of the literature on the topic has not been conducted yet. Also, the complexities associated with crisis spillover and their management call for a synthesis of existing findings which can provide future research directions. This review focuses on empirical studies about crisis spillover and incorporates articles from different disciplines examining this topic. We identified 56 articles about crisis spillover that were published in 35 different journals between 1985 and 2021, and examined the conceptualization of crisis spillover across disciplines, crisis types, industries, stakeholder groups, spillover types, risk factors, and response strategies discussed in these articles. Our suggestions for future research based on the literature review will help guide researchers to explore areas that will help us gain a better understanding of the spillover effect phenomena, and how organizations can respond to spillover crises

Business support for refugee integration in Europe: Conceptualizing the link with organizational identification

The ongoing refugee crisis presents a plethora of challenges and requires systematic contributions from public and private entities—e.g., governments, non-governmental organizations, community organizations and businesses. Relative to the other three, (explicit) business efforts toward refugee (economic) integration are yet sporadic, limited to a few large organizations. While acknowledging that integration encompasses multiple spheres and is complicated by national and local variations across EU member states, this conceptual article treats business support of refugee (economic) integration as a manifestation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and contends that such efforts may enhance employee-organizational identification. Drawing on scholarship from CSR and organization–employee identification, we develop a conceptual model including propositions about mediating and moderating mechanisms of the relationship among refugee integration, CSR communication and employee-organizational identification. Our study offers a conceptual bridge between what is known about the importance, barriers and enablers of refugee labor market integration with the lesser-known organizational, specifically employee, perspectives on the issue. Leveraging on this conceptual framework, further research may focus on testing the relationship empirically through collecting field data from business firms which have made an explicit claim on refugee support
