How a catchy bass line might someday resonate beyond my business ethics classroom: Rock music in management learning

Management Curriculum

Business ethics is one of the “unsettled humanities” in a management curriculum that tends to value instrumental and measurable goods. However, the value of business ethics may not be apparent to students until they experience unpredictable challenges to their ethical values at work long after they have left the management classroom. This essay traces my journey to using music – particularly, British rock songs – to reinforce learning and retention of the essential feelings and ideas in my students’ learning experience. It draws upon contrasting theories of ethical and economic value, the role of narrative in ethical theory and pedagogy, and the associative powers of music to show how the lyrics and music of songs might help classroom learning resonate later in life. In doing so, the essay shows how the songs of rebellious rock musicians might unsettle stereotypical conceptions of business and resettle appreciation for the value of the arts and humanities in life and work.

This action was performed during the InSEA European Regional Congress in Lisbon, 2016, in the opening ceremony. 100 kits were distributed with instruction manuals in Portuguese; Spanish and English. The conception and design of the kit by Maria Jesus Agra Pardiñas; Cristina Trigo; Ana Vidal aimed to point the attention of art educators and researchers from the International Society of Education Through Art, InSEA to the cuts in the arts in the educational public systems of neoliberal governments in Europe, which were and still are trying to reduce or even eliminate the role of the arts and humanities in public education.

Excessive Use Of Force

Abstract During its operations against gangs in the period 2004–2007 the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) killed and injured many people who were not posing a threat to anyone and were not involved in criminal activity. In Operations Iron Fist (2005) and New Forest (2006) an estimated 60 people were killed, some by bullets fired from helicopters penetrating the roofs of their corrugated metal shacks. Survivors claim that no one from the UN or from any state agency has ever visited their neighbourhood to speak to them—‘it’s as though you’re worthless’. This article discusses the making of the film It Stays With You: Use of Force by UN Peacekeepers in Haiti—which was produced using participatory practices—and the project team’s use of the film to raise awareness of the need for reform of UN rules of engagement and for an investigation into excessive use of force by MINUSTAH. The article also discusses the use of the film to challenge the exclusion from the MINUSTAH success narrative of the stories of the people who live in the targeted community, and to provide a platform that might enable the experiences of survivors to be publicly acknowledged internationally. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, It Stays With You forms part of an interdisciplinary law and film studies research project, which explores the role of film as a method of addressing trauma and as a means of highlighting the need for a human rights-oriented approach to accountability in the conduct of UN law enforcement operations.

AbstractThis article considers the role of overseas academic travel in the development of the modern research university, with particular reference to the University of Cambridge from the 1880s to the 1950s. The Cambridge academic community, relatively sedentary at the beginning of this period, became progressively more mobile and globalized through the early twentieth century, facilitated by regular research sabbaticals. The culture of research travel diffused at varying rates, and with differing consequences, across the arts and humanities and the field, laboratory and theoretical sciences, reshaping disciplinary identities and practices in the process. The nature of research travel also changed as the genteel scholarly excursion was replaced by the purposeful, output-orientated expedition.

This chapter explores the role of arts and humanities in promoting interprofessional learning and patient-centered collaborative practice. This chapter addresses the importance of collaborative competencies in postgraduate training and healthcare practice as situated within the principles of relational-centered care. Case studies of learning activities which can be adapted for use in postgraduate medical education and specific consideration for interprofessional facilitation provide a practical guide on how to incorporate the arts into postgraduate education. Additionally, components of a certificate program for learners focusing on the development of collaborative competencies through engagement in the arts and humanities are discussed.

Throughout history, the visual arts have allowed for a dynamic of aesthetic feedback, cultural plurality, and a standardization of the artistic phenomenon. The objective of this study is to analyze the current lines of research at the international level, during the period 1952–2020, on the visual arts in the university educational ecosystem. Bibliometric techniques were applied to 1727 articles in the thematic area of the “Arts and Humanities” to obtain the findings included in this report. Scientific production has increased mainly in the last decade, making up around 70% of all publications. Five schools of knowledge have been identified that generate articles on this topic related to art, visual culture, modernity, music, and history. The growing trend of scientific production worldwide shows the interest in developing aspects of this field of study. This article contributes to the academic, scientific, and institutional discussion on the role of the visual arts in contemporary society.

Science Collaboration

The author argues that the role of facilitation within art and science collaboration projects is perhaps best described not as a function or position, that of the facilitator, but as a framework for thinking about relations and how to encourage a certain quality of exchange. The article reflects on how the themes of willingness, inter-profession, conversations and wording, empathy, and collaborative writing relate to the conditions for interdisciplinary collaboration. This is based on the author's experience with collaborative projects, most recently as research organizer and facilitator for Choreography and Cognition, one of the first Arts and Science Research Fellowships jointly funded by the Arts Council England and Arts and Humanities Research Board (U.K.).
