Shareholder Engagement and Chevron’s Policy 520 on Human Rights: The Role Played by the United States Jesuit Conference’s “National Jesuit Committee on Investment Responsibility”

Purpose To demonstrate how the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in the United States through the “National Jesuit Committee on Investment Responsibility” played a significant role as a socially conscious institutional and religious investor in influencing Chevron’s Human Rights Policy 520 and to analyze the factors that contributed to a successful shareholder engagement with the company. Methodology/approach Case study based on firsthand information. Findings Our conclusion offers support for Allen et al.’s (2012) conclusion of legitimacy (credibility) being the dominant force in a successful engagement. We found that coalition-building is a significant moderating variable in increasing shareholder salience. This finding contradicts the study by Gifford (2010). Originality/value of chapter The chapter is based on the actual process of shareholder engagement with Chevron Corporation that led to the human rights policy and is written mainly based on firsthand information

Notions of identity: representation of the black subject and the filmmaker in digital cinema

Accompanied by three films: Berlin (2006), They Call Me...Don't Call Me (2005) and Short Term Contract (2004)This study will serve to question and explore the ways in which the black subject and the filmmaker can be constructed and represented in narrative and documentary film. The arguments that follow in this written section of the thesis will serve to illustrate and support the three film projects that together make up the PhD in Film by Practice. I will begin by exploring the relationship between the filmmaker with the theoretical and practical frameworks. Alongside this I will discuss the concepts inherent in the three films produced for the PhD. My approach to the above questions in my PhD by practice can be broadly summarised by three stages. The first stage in this approach will be to concentrate on isolating and analysing theories that have informed the three projects. The second stage will then reveal how these informed ideas have moved from one medium (the theoretical, word, text, still image) to another (the language of the moving image). Finally, I will relate the three PhD films to each other, aligning their relationships in terms aesthetics, form and content regarding the black subject. I will conclude by illustrating how these three films argue for new responses when considering representations of the black subject in cinema.AHR
