AAPI Nexus: Policy, Practice and Community, 2007

It is with some sadness that I write this Editor's Note because it is my final one. After spending over six years with Nexus, initially helping establish the journal and then serving as its founding and senior editor, this issue is my last one. Over the years, I have accumulated a lengthy list of debts to those who have contributed as guest and managing editors, writers, reviewers, and members of the advisory board. I am grateful to the production staff, Mary Kao, Stephanie Santos, and Brandy Worrall-Yu, whose efforts have turned drafts into polished publications. Julia Heintz-Mackoff and Lucy Tran were enormously helpful and dedicated in their roles as the first and second managing editor. I am particularly indebted to my fellow editors, Professor Don Nakanishi and Ms. Melany Dela Cruz-Viesca. The journal would not have materialized and continued without Don's unwavering and enthusiastic support and participation, and the journal would not have been operational without Melany's tireless work and good humor. I am pleased to know that Professor Marjorie Kagawa-Singer will be taking over. She already has experience with the journal as a guest editor, and she will bring her own style and sensibility to the job. What everyone on the list shares in common is a commitment to building bridges between the university, AAPI communities, and the larger society. Nexus serves as a forum for community leaders, professionals, and scholars through its Practitioner's Essays, Research Articles, and Resource Papers. I look forward to reading future issues. This issue originally planned to focus on the impacts of welfare reform on AAPIs. The passage of the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act dramatically transformed public assistance into a welfare-to-work program with time limits on benefits. Unfortunately, many have not been able to make the transition into meaningful paid employment because a lack of marketable skills, family obligations, and other barriers. AAPI recipients have faced additional difficulties because of cultural and linguistic barriers. Given the radical shift in policy regimes and resulting imvi aapi nexus

Journal of Management Inquiry, 2014

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of concern regarding the gap between academic research and the ongoing daily practice of running businesses. In this article, we interview an individual who successfully made the transition not only from practice to research, but from military service to corporate life and then to academics. Professor Earl Walker is a retired U.S. Army Colonel who commanded armor units in Vietnam, worked as a corporate executive, and then transitioned into academic teaching and later academic administration. Over the course of his academic career, he has served as the dean of three business schools. In the interview, Walker describes his perceptions of the practice–research gap, revealing that it is in some ways smaller and other ways larger than others believe it to be.

Page, M. And Gaggiotti, H. (2013). ‘The bridges that change us: inquiring in the middle of the gorge’, in Jansen, H., Brons, C. & Faber, F. (eds.) Beeldcoaching.Zet in bewaring (Image Coaching Set in motion). Baarn, Netherlands: Uitgererji Real Life Publishing., 2013

In this chapter we take up the theme of a ‘bridge’ to explore how students and tutors engaged together in learning about ‘Managing Change’ in a South West of England business school. Brunel’s suspension bridge in Clifton, Bristol, our home town, offers a physical landscape that has provoked and will shape the questions we wish to explore. ‘Managing Change’ is a final year undergraduate course where we have been evolving a more student and research led pedagogy with four successive cohorts of students (Page & Gaggiotti, 2012). This process has been driven on the one hand by our desire as tutors to ‘change’ the subject and rules of engagement of teaching in a business school, and on the other by students who have engaged willingly or not with an approach less familiar to them than the didactic approaches that are more commonly practiced. Student engagement – or lack of it – is a hot topic for UK business schools and universities. Similarly student led learning is seen by some as a smoke screen for badly prepared teaching, by others as a way of building engagement (Garrison, 1997, Many, Fyfe, Lewis & Mitchell, 1996). Business Schools have long been critiqued, for being factories run on Tayloristic principles of standardisation, measurement, and control rather than a seat of learning (Hopfl, 2005, 65). Yet paradoxically, many business schools, in particular that one’s not enrolled in the mainstream thinking, were blamed in the past for not being practical and business oriented. The theme of an organisation studies conference320 that we regularly attend, ‘bridging’, offered a means of exploring and articulating tensions between instrumental ‘banking’ and more inquiry based and student led pedagogic approaches that may be in conflict, but exist alongside each other.

Presidential Retrospectives I became president of NRC during a period of transitions (plural form intended). Some of the transitions began inside the organization, whereas others came from outside. All have proved to have a lasting effect on the organization; some, a lasting effect on the field.
