Dr Robert Robert Randolph shares on the Family identity and how it influences Wealth Orientation About: Robert Randolph is an Associate Professor of Family Business Management and Research Director of the Family Enterprise Center at Kennesaw State University. Prior to holding a Ph.D. in Strategic Management from Mississippi State University (2010), Robert provided analytical and field support to economic development activities performed through the Small Business Institute at the University of New Mexico. This insightful work opened Robert's eyes to the transformative power of group-based entrepreneurship as a means of empowerment and wealth creation beyond the predominantly individual-centric models popular in contemporary entrepreneurship theory and practice. Today, Robert maintains this interdisciplinary and community focus by conducting research of family business management, strategy, and advising for both academic and practitioner audiences. His research interests span multiple disciplines and considers how family enterprise coordinates economic, social, and family value creation. His research is published in leading journals in a variety of disciplines; including family business, strategic management, entrepreneurship, tourism & hospitality, and information systems research. In his role as Research Director of the Family Enterprise Center, Robert engages with an interdisciplinary faculty to coordinate a variety of research studies using secondary, primary, and clinical data as well as a variety of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods techniques. The Family Enterprise Center supports a variety of local, regional, national, and international data collections in the form of membership surveys, measurement development/validation, and primary data collections. This infrastructure supports a number of research activities with recent graduate student work in International Conflict Management and Computer
Chris ist etwas wehmütig in dieser Folge: Das letzte mal das Thema Afghanistan. Wir schauen uns genauer an wie der Westen in Afghanistan versucht hat einen Staat aufzubauen. Auf der Petersberger Konferenz 2001 wurde hier beschlossen traditionelle Elemente und westliche Regierungselemente zu verbinden. Die Umsetzung wird zum Beispiel in der Loya Jirga deutlich. Was der Unterschied zwischen Natioanbuilding, Statebuilding und Peacebuilding ist und was das jetzt war in Afghanistan erfahrt ihr in der Folge.

In this episode, we welcome our special guest Kiddada Grey in a discussion about “When You Think You Know.”. A huge issue we are seeing more recently these days is a problem with critical thinking and basic problem-solving skills. Now this is just my opinion and not one backed off data but we know it to be an issue when it comes to certain topics that come up from the Israel/Pakistan crisis, to Black Lives Matter, to LBGTQ+ rights. Individuals tend to speak off the cuff and/or say they aren't informed enough to make a statement or decision rather than actually use the computers present in their hand or purse #smartphone. This could be because of status quo bias, anchoring bias, and or stress due to so much data present it causes a mental overload. We welcome Kiddada, someone who is a political consultant and strategist, Ph.D. Student in International Conflict Management and spent over 10 years in the IT industry to dive more deeply into this topic and see if we can put a finger onto the why without going through 4 years of school, getting a certification, and/or putting people on the couch because ain't nobody got time for that.

How can peacebuilding efforts transform from quick-fix, one-size-fits-all solutions to a blueprint for sustainable peace? We'll find out on this episode with Dr. Volker Franke, Professor of Conflict Management. We'll also hear about research that Dr. Franke's students in the Ph.D. in International Conflict Management program are doing. And we'll discuss the Iraqi elections, peace talks in Afghanistan and disarmament in Liberia, and find out what they can teach us about success or failure in peacebuilding.

By Any Other Name: An Exploration of Afro-Amerindian Heritage is a documentary film that discusses the interactions between Africans and American Indians from in the United States, with an emphasis on the state of Georgia in the 18th through the 20th Centuries. Steven D. Gayle is a filmmaker and educator originally from Philadelphia, PA now residing in the Atlanta area. Steven earned his Bachelor’s in History Education from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke and a Master of Arts in Media and Communications from Norfolk State University. He is currently pursuing his PhD in International Conflict Management at Kennesaw State University. He has worked in the educational and media production fields for nearly a decade and is constantly seeking new ways to incorporate the two disciplines in different formats. In 2011 he co-produced, co-Wrote and directed the feature-length documentary about the musical history of Hampton Roads Virginia entitled, "7 City Legacy," which is now in the College of William and Mary's Special Collections Archive. Most recently he has shifted his focus on research related to African and Native American history and genealogy with his latest project, "By Any Other Name: An Exploration of Afro-Amerindian Heritage." This film received the 'Inventos Award' at the FistUp Film Festival in Berkeley, CA, and 'Best Feature' at the Warsaw Avenue Film Festival in Cincinnati, OH. It has also been screened at the 20th Native American Film Festival of the Southeast, the Native Spirit Film festival in London and the Apex Museum in Atlanta. It is Steven’s intention that "By Any Other Name" stands as a meaningful contribution in the realm of historical documentary and in understanding both the African American and Native American diasporas.
This presentation interrogates the idea of complete silence on the part of Africans as articulated in the literature on enslavement. The purpose is to share some of the ways in which Africans on the continent responded to the unending subject of the trade in enslaved Africans. The basic premise is that silence is both unnatural and impossible as a response to such a prolonged and devastating phenomenon. In support of this hypothesis, the discussion shares many types of evidence that refute the theory of silence. It begins by an examination of the common aspects of the physical structure of the slave castles. It continues by focusing on two sites, out of many: Ganvie in present day Republic of Benin and Nzulezo, in Ghana. Both have been chosen because they are unique settlements on water, offering ways in which the natural environment was employed in the aid of self-preservation and later to serve as a means of remembrance. The settlements came about because humans decided to do what all humans will do: defend themselves against attack. Opoku-Agyemang, who earned her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from York University in Toronto, Canada, has chaired or served on 20 national boards in Ghana. She also served on the executive board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The author of nine books and numerous articles and papers, her research interests include literature by African women, Ghana’s oral literature, and issues related to the trade in enslaved Africans. In 2006, she addressed the United Nations General Assembly during events marking the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery. During her visit to Kennesaw State, Vice Chancellor Opoku-Agymeng was accompanied by Isaac R. Amuah, director of the UCC’s Center for International Education; Isaac Ohene, university registrar, and assistant registrar, Alberta Yaa Graham; Juliana Boateng, distance education and Elaine Kwani. The delegation visited a class on the history of Ghana; met with representatives of the Center for Student Leadership, the Center for Conflict Management, the Ph.D. program in International Conflict Management and the Bagwell College student teaching abroad program. They also participated in workshops on teaching in Africa and attended sessions with Kennesaw State’s Ghanaian students and students who have studied abroad in Ghana.
