In 2010, the Association for Information Systems formed a special interest group () to nurture an international community of academics that study the role of digital technologies in fostering environmentally, economically and socially sustainable development. Fifteen years later, we sit down with , the current SIGGreen president, to reflect on the progress we have made. What do we know about how digital technologies help greening our planet? What efforts in empirical, theoretical, and design work is still needed? Is our role to understand the role of digital technologies or do we need to push and enact change ourselves? We conclude that environmental questions and problems are now firmly on the radar screen of our discipline but more work needs to be done for information systems academics to transform the way we think about and use digital technologies.

Send us a textSome people enter your life like a spark. Unexpected. Magnetic. They show up just when you didn't know you needed them, and suddenly your world shifts. Through motorcycles and shared miles, a few of us found each other and built something deeper than friendship. We became a chosen family. A bond forged in grit, vulnerability, ridiculous laughter, and unconditional support.Over the past several years, we have ridden through it all together. Divorce. Illness. Dreams deferred and dreams reborn. Big career pivots. Gut-wrenching losses. We leaned on each other through the hard parts and celebrated each other through the victories. Somewhere along the way, we grew. Not just as individuals but as a collective that just clicked.But lately, something has been stirring. A quiet shift. Like we are all being called toward new roads. Maybe we were never meant to stay the same. Maybe we were meant to wake something up in each other and then find the courage to keep growing.Today on The Motovation, we are talking about what happens when the people who helped you become who you are start evolving into someone new too. Can you hold on to what was while still making space for what is next? Can you trust the road when it starts to curve in ways you did not expect?If you have ever felt that tug in your gut, that bittersweet knowing when change comes calling, you are not alone. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is lean into the turn and trust that the ride ahead is exactly where you are meant to go.This is The Motovation.

In this episode, Dan and Lauren speak with the co-editors of New Directions for Student Leadership #184, Drs. Jonathan R. Kroll, Cameron C. Beatty, and Amber Manning-Ouellette. They explore Facilitating Leadership Development in Training Contexts, released in Winter 2024. This special issue centers on student leadership training and emphasizes the need for leadership educators to both understand the theories, history, and complexities of the field and to model healthy leadership habits that help individuals thrive and organizations flourish. The editors share their collaborative process and underscore the importance of self-reflective practice, authentic identity development, and the creation of belonging in leadership spaces. The issue highlights facilitation strategies that move beyond lecture-style delivery to support meaningful leadership learning and application.
Did you know that there are show choir blogs? Neither did we. In S5E11, "City of Angels," we follow New Directions to Nationals of… whatever year this is in canon…to Los Angeles. Mr. Schue recruits Sam to be the New Finn (not to be confused with Blaine, who we all know to be the New Rachel), tasked with keeping up spirit and enthusiasm. The Hudson-Hummel clan is out in full force with the series' best parents, Burt and Carole, coming along for the ride and finally processing some long-overdue trauma.Seemingly everyone starts to think about what they'll be doing after graduation (even the ones who aren't graduating), Marley gets some advice from Mercedes, and Blaine gets hit on by his new midgame (wait, did we say that?).Join us as we journey through Finn's favorite songs and learn the fate of the Glee Club.Find us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksInterested in how we do it?

How will the current research advancements in long-acting ART affect clinicians' ability to provide better care for their patients with HIV? The recent data show that the low uptake and adherence to PrEP may be largely due to the pill burden and potential stigma of daily dosing. How might the newer longer-acting PrEP regimens challenge this reluctance?Post-test for CME credits: https://elit.dkbmed.com/issues/226/test Hosted on Acast.

We're here! It's the final episode of Season Five! It seems everyone is going in new directions ... Samcedes breaks up, Rachel is going to LA, and Brittany returns, but does this really feel like a finale episode? There is much to go over and dissect, like Mercedes' original song, Sam's model dreams, their interpretations of that final scene with Rachel, and, of course, the performances! There are so many fun ones, but Jenna kinda shocks Kevin when she reveals she was not a fan of one of their song choices! Kevin also has fun stories of his time working with Shirley MacLaine and Kristen Schaal, and Jenna has a 'Ron Burgundy' moment that leaves them gasping for air.

The Channel: A Podcast from the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS)
This episode features a conversation with Mustahid Husain, who is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto Mississauga. His work explores a variety of themes, from international development and global inequality to mental health and the Bangladeshi diaspora. He is the author of two new books. The first is a short academic monograph, Masculinity and Mental Health of Muslim Men of Colour: Diaspora and Intersectionality of Canadian Youth, published in 2024 as part of Palgrave's New Directions in Islam series. The book explores the complex intersection of mental health, masculinity, and cultural identity among young Bangldeshi-Canadian men. His second new book is the novel Double Truths, which follows the protagonist Asif as he navigates personal relationships and his own identity in the complicated world of international development agencies. In this conversation, Mustahid discusses both of these projects as well as the somewhat unconventional path that led him to pursue anthropology. Hosted on Acast.

Christmas is coming and what more could we ask for than a truly chaotic, non-canonical episode of Glee. This is the infamous S5E8, "Previously Unaired Christmas." While Glee's Christmas episodes are generally beloved by fans, this is not one of them. In an alternate version of Lima, Ohio where The Glee Club gets things done, the New Directions are preparing for the Annual Christmas Decoration competition while also planning a living Nativity Scene for the school. On the East Coast, Santana joins Rachel and Kurt for a New York Christmas and Rachel lands them part-time gigs as elves at a local mall. Unfortunately, the Mall Santa is a full-time creep who threatens to ruin their holiday spirit. Let's not take strangers home, kids. Maybe this episode is camp or maybe it's just bad. That's for you to decide now. Don't worry, at the end we share some of our Christmas movie recommendations for a much-needed palate cleanser.

New Directions in the Study of African American Recolonization (UP of Florida, 2017) examines the movement to resettle black Americans in Africa, an effort led by the American Colonization Society during the nineteenth century and a heavily debated part of American history. Some believe it was inspired by antislavery principles, but others think it was a proslavery reaction against the presence of free Black people in society. Moving beyond this simplistic debate, contributors link the movement to other historical developments of the time, revealing a complex web of different schemes, ideologies, and activities behind the relocation of African Americans to Liberia. They explain what colonization, emigration, immigration, abolition, and emancipation meant within nuanced nineteenth-century contexts, looking through many lenses to more accurately reflect the past.

Have you ever wondered what an episode of Glee would be like while crashed out on carbon monoxide poisoning? Well, now you know. This is S5E7, "Puppet Master." Blaine Warbler Anderson struggles to be seen as a leader of the New Directions despite his longevity in the club. A gas leak in the choir room leads to puppet-filled hallucinations that somehow leads to no one receiving medical attention. Everyone's favorite tracksuit wearing principal Sue Sylvester embarks on a journey of femininity after someone calls her "one of the guys." Listen, it's hard to be a woman in a male-dominated industry. Over in New York, Kurt has to balance ambition against collaboration and teamwork in his band, Pamela Lansbury, given Starchild's undeniable onstage presence. And of course, this episode features one of the bottom 10 worst Glee performances of all time.

Ben and Carlos hop on the show and talk about new leadership moves for both the Giants and the Cardinals organizations. Ben wonders if Giants fans should be wary about Buster Posey taking charge in San Francisco given lack of extensive front office experience and the two also discuss the changes that could be coming for the Cardinals in the future with Chaim Bloom set to become president of baseball operations in 2026. Where do both orgs stand with their current farm systems? How has each team drafted and done on the international signing market in recent years? After that the two talk about Quinn Mathews and his development as a pitcher, compare him with some of the best lefthanded pitching prospects in the game, including Marlins southpaw Thomas White, and move onto a conversation about Paul Skenes and the state of the Pirates. Was anyone particularly close to Skenes in our Rookie of the Year race? And what about those Yoshinobu Yamamoto debates before the 2024 season got started? The two then talk about the draft lottery odds being set, praise the new system that no longer incentivizes tanking and get into a trio of listener questions including: the biggest adjustments from Triple-A to the majors, thoughts on Phillies prospect Eduardo Tait and the rarity of big leaguers who perform better in the majors than the minors.—Time Stamps(2:00) Buster Posey taking charge in San Francisco(11:00) State of the Giants system(21:00) Chaim Bloom as the Pobo in waiting in St. Louis(27:00) State of the Cardinals system(31:00) Cardinals draft history(38:00) Quinn Mathews development(44:00) Thomas White vs. Quinn Mathews(49:00) Paul Skenes 2024 season(58:00) The Pirates system(1:08:00) Pittsburgh's of international players(1:12:00) Draft lottery talk(1:22:00) Listener questions—Do you have a question you want us to answer?

Saudi Arabia is the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula, a sea of sand (95% of the country is desert) that holds 17% of the world's petroleum reserves. Its cities encapsulate the country's contradictions: ancient souks and ultra-modern skyscrapers, women veiled in abayas but also entering the workforce, petroleum refineries, and sparkling beach resorts. Cards on the table: Saudi Arabia has an abysmal track record on human rights, with women, LGBTQ+ communities, and journalists the target of discrimination and violence. Women are still legally classified as minors, with male relatives making significant decisions on their behalf. But in the last few years, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — known as MBS — passed laws that lessened some restrictions with Saudi Arabia. And he's invited the world in: His Vision 2030 plan opened Saudi Arabia to tourism. Road signs and menus now appear in English, Western credit cards are widely accepted, and you can even catch an Uber. In this episode, we dive into the changing norms in Saudi Arabia, talk about some of the amazing sights that are now open to the Western world, and discuss the ambitious Neom project: a ‘city of the future' in the desert. Then we recommend five books that took us to Saudi Arabia on the page: City Of Veils by Zoë Ferraris MBS: The Rise to Power of Mohammed bin Salman by Ben Hubbard Cardamom and Lime: Recipes from the Arabian Gulf by Sarah Al-Hamad The Green Bicycle by Haifaa Al Mansour Eight Months on Ghazzah Street by Hilary Mantel For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.
