Napoleon, Alexander the Great, and Boudicca. These are the names that normally top the list when it comes to the greatest military leaders in history, but today's guest is taking a slightly different approach. Professor of War Studies at University of Warwick, Anthony King, is drawing on his experience with some of the most senior military leaders to rank his top five divisional commanders based on what he's learnt about command, through their actions. What do you think needs to be taken into consideration to decide whether a commander is good or bad? Is It number of wins or defeats? Is it execution of logistics or operational sense? Is it their officer selection or how they deploy a division? Who would be in your list? And do you agree with Professor King? Anthony King is the author of Command: The Twenty-First Century General.This episode was produced by Elena Guthrie, and edited by Joseph Knight.For more Warfare content, subscribe to our Warfare newsletter here.

It has been abundantly clear in these times we live in that the current model of capitalism does not work – or at least not for the majority of people. In this episode, we are honored to hear insights from former South Africa Supreme Court Judge, Professor Mervyn King. Professor King shares his reimagined model of capitalism. He confirms that trickle-down economics does not work. He envisions a new brand of capitalism where there is a new purpose for business, which is to create shared value for multiple stakeholders, serve society, and deliver sustainable impact. The good news is you too can boldly reimagine capitalism. Where do you choose to work? Where do you choose to shop? What kind of company you choose to create? Join in and learn how you can be part of this radical new thinking.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review & share! https://anne-pratt.com

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. We hoped to have Rice University Professor Danielle D. King with us earlier this week to share tips and insights on for black employees. Alas, like so many job-seekers with "black sounding names," we never heard back from Professor King. Incidentally, we'll discuss her idea of "Perceived Organizational Support." Gus concludes that non-white people will generally have little to no assistance or support your co-workers. If you find yourself in the inviable position where your employer and colleagues appreciate your feedback and earnestly work to remedy your workplace problems, you're in a cozy but rare position for black people. Enjoy it as long as possible. Professor King and others also promote the idea of talking about "microaggressions" with other co-workers. For years, Gus has discouraged this type of reckless chitchat and advised non-white people to always speak as though everything you say in a work environment is being documented. #AnswerNaturesCall #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

Rice University professor Danielle King reneged on speaking with The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program. She emailed Gus to say she was late leaving work, which is totally understandable. She dialed in on the switchboard, listened briefly and hung up. She never emailed or attempted to contact Gus again. We dialed her during the program, and our call was forwarded to voicemail. Gus and listeners were excited to discuss "microaggressions"/White Supremacy with Professor King, but she emphatically reneged on her agreement. Listeners are encouraged to email Professor King to see why she departed without saying a word. Email: danielle.d.king@rice.edu Professor King has way better credentials than Gus, with a B.A. from Spelman College and a doctorate in Organized Psychology from Michigan State, she's an Associate Professor of Psychology at Rice University in Texas. Professor King's conduct - and even her research that suggests non-white people will create White "allyship" are precisely why The C.O.W.S. maintains a White Guest Only Policy.

In this episode, CII General Counsel Jeff Mahoney interviews Professor Andrew A. King from the Questrom School of Business at Boston University. Professor King is the co-author of a recent research paper entitled "Materiality and Corporate Sustainability: A Model Uncertainty Analysis."

On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to journalist and author, Ariel Sabar, about his new book Veritas: A Harvard Professor, a Con Man and the Gospel of Jesus' Wife. Sabar's book exposes much about the bankruptcy of contemporary theology and the yearning by academics to be lionized by the mass media and popular culture, even at the expense of truth. In 1945 a collection of early Christian codices, or books, in fourth century A.D. script, were discovered at Nag Hammadi near the Nile, about 300 miles south of Cairo. The 52 works were translated from earlier Greek texts, many of them written by Gnostic sectarians. The Gnostics were condemned as heretics by the early church and their writings were banned. The texts, available to scholars, languished in relative obscurity until they were popularized by Elaine Pagels in her 1980 book The Gnostic Gospels. The Gnostics believed that an elect group of believers, themselves, had been given a secret knowledge about the divine status of human beings that was obscured by the Old Testament and revealed to them by Jesus, who was regarded as an illuminator rather than the resurrected savior. Women appear to have had a more prominent role in the sect than in the early Christian Church, although this is likely because these women rejected the “works of femaleness.” But the Gnostic Gospels played to the zeitgeist of the moment when the church was being challenged for its misogyny and believers were shifting from the demands of the Social Gospel, which call on believers to fight on behalf of the oppressed, and turning inward to the kind of self-referential spiritualism that now poisons the liberal church. In 2003 Dan Brown published The Da Vinci Code, which was to Biblical scholarship what Raiders of the Lost Ark was to archeology. In the novel, he makes Mary Magdalene the wife of Jesus, pregnant with Christ's child when he was crucified. This fiction was only a few degrees separated from the claims by some feminist scholars of the Gnostic Gospels, especially Harvard Divinity School professor Karen King. In 2012 Professor King announced that she had found an ancient fragment of papyrus in which Jesus calls Mary Magdalene “my wife.” The fragment, however, was a crude forgery, passed on to Professor King by a German expatriate living in Florida who was an internet pornographer with a tortured relationship with the Catholic Church.

A Discussion of Dali, Curating and Surrealism's Lasting Impact with Elliott King The associate professor of art history dives into the subconscious world of Surrealism, unpacking the work of Dali and explaining just how important his long-lasting career was. Professor King also shares how his journey with Dali and other Surrealist artists has deepened through his curatorial work and his courses with students.

Student athletes are a huge part of campus life at any university, but especially here at Vanderbilt. On this episode of VandyVox, Max Schneider tackles the implications of the NCAA Fair Pay to Play Act in California by interviewing USC defensive tackle, Trevor Trout, through his sports podcast Flag on the Play. Max dives right in, allowing Trevor to immerse the audience in the day-to-day life of a college athlete and the double-standards that accompany that contract. Not afraid to address controversy head-on, Max creates a space that allows Trevor to speak freely about his experience with the NCAA that brings a sense of gravitas, frustration, and authenticity to the topic. Max, who is also involved with Hustler Sports 30 and 615 Sports Drive on VandyRadio, used Flag on the Play for a course in Communication Studies taught by professor Claire Sisco King. Professor King highlights the interconnectivity of what we communicate and how we communicate and encourages her students to focus on human-centered design while “creating their own public-facing communicative artifacts.” To read the full excerpt from Professor King’s Syllabus, or if you want to be directed to more of Max’s audio work, please refer to the show notes.

We are pleased to welcome Professor Turi King from the Department of Genetics and Genome Biology at the University of Leicester to talk about the 2019 publication of the 'Forensic Investigation of a Shawl Linked to the "Jack the Ripper" Murders by Jari Louhelainen, Ph.D and David Miller, Ph.D in the Journal of Forensic Sciences. Professor King led the famous genome sequencing project on the remains of Richard III and we are very grateful for the time she was able to spend with us discussing this topic. Joining the round table discussion were numerous Ripperologists. Those who questioned the Professor were: Robert House, the author of 'Jack the Ripper and the Case for Scotland Yard's Prime Suspect'. Steve Blomer, researcher and writer. Jon Rees, researcher, writer and lecturer. Brian Young, researcher, writer and lecturer. Hosted by Jonathan Menges Very special thanks to Chris Phillips, Paul Begg, Tom Wescott and John Malcolm.

Seoul, as any listener who has visited will recognize, can be a pretty overwhelming place. This is well recognized by Ross King, Professorial Fellow in the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne, who notes that cities like this “are experienced as disaggregated places, always already fragmented, bits, moments, feelings, memories” (p. 131). But in his richly illustrated and luxuriously produced book Seoul: Memory, Reinvention and the Korean Wave (University of Hawaii Press, 2018), Professor King does an expert job of ‘reading’ (p. 15) this megalopolis with deftness and elegance, interpreting the multiplicity of faces which it presents to visitor and local alike. Drawing not only on observations of architecture and urban form, his own areas of expertise, King also offers insights from historiography, literature, film, religion, television and popular culture as they relate to the city. Bringing these into dialogue, he builds up a sophisticated picture of the myriad influences and symbolisms at play in Seoul’s urban landscape, and shows how they are layered, juxtaposed and entangled. Reading Seoul, we thus come to apprehend the city in its Korean, its Asian, and its global contexts. Equally importantly, we also learn how to see it as a crucible of overlapping and contending histories, and of successive developmental modernist projects, most recently those tied the ‘Korean Wave’. Anyone interested in Asian modernization at large, urban planning, and more generally in how national and urban transformations fit into wider social and cultural contexts will find a great deal to engage with here.

Gary King, Weatherhead University Professor at Harvard University and Director of Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science, talks to the "Harvard on China" podcast about his latest research into online censorship in China. Professor King is the co-author of a 2017 article, "How the Chinese Government Fabricates Social Media Posts for Strategic Distraction, Not Engaged Argument." This paper builds on his previous research about how censorship in China allows government criticism but silences collective expression (2013), as well as the reverse engineering of Harvard's own Chinese social media site to better study censorship. The "Harvard on China" podcast is hosted by James Evans at Harvard's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. Follow us on SoundCloud, iTunes, Stitcher, and other podcast apps.

Hong Kong’s highly rated Hotel ICON is a unique experience combining hospitality and learning for China’s Belt and Road Initiative, says Brian King, Associate Dean at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s School of Hotel & Tourism Management. Students from the Chinese mainland, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka and Hungary evaluate their experiences while Professor King says the school and hotel engage prospective industry leaders of the future.

Do you ever find yourself exhilarated and exhausted by turns? Or maybe delving into seemingly unrelated areas of interest? Those are signs of your creative mind at work! And you may be surprised to learn of the benefits of your unorthodox approach to learning and career. Today, you'll be hearing from a Hall of Fame member. The International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame (located at University of Oklahoma) inducted professor Kathy King in two thousand eleven. Professor of Adult and Higher Education at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Kathy is an award winning author who has published 30 books. Recent ones include Empowering Women through Literacy and The Professor's Guide to Taming Technology, others focus on workplace training and online learning. She is known for her conference sessions and innovative topics and is a popular international keynote and conference speaker, mentor, and professor. Kathy's areas of research include instructional technology, faculty development, and mentoring. I met Professor King at the Text and Academic Authors Assoc. conference recently. While listening to her presentation there, I realized it was filled with ideas valuable for you, regardless of occupation.The core of Dr. King's presentation was developing tools to help us meet our goals, whatever they might be. But in terms of setting those goals she emphasized the need to “be who you are as a result of your whole life experience.” That is especially important in the 21st century when the career a young person prepares for through training or higher education may not even exist four years later! What is essential in candidates for any position in any field is flexibility. It is hard to get rid of the notion that ideally, one finds her niche early, sticks with it, and becomes a recognized expert, if not guru, of the field. I noticed from Dr. King's CV that her Bachelor's degree from Brown University was in Biochemistry, followed by a Master's in theology and missions, a Master's in adult education, and a doctorate in higher education from Widener University. So she has a number of strands in her life journey, even just looking at her education. Professor King gave us some examples of how earlier interests have been useful, maybe even essential, to later career opportunities. She applied her early training in biochemistry to mastering technological tools. This is the type of cross-training that must be spelled out in cover letters and given top-billing in résumés or CVs. After researching the organization you will be interviewing with, you can customize your documents to emphasize the life experience that qualifies you for the position. Like many of us, Dr. King has a lot of different balls in the air. She described some of the tricks and tools she uses to keep them from falling to the floor and rolling off into oblivion. Google calendar can be useful as it can be customized and used across all your devices. Although project management software might be worth the time to master, she enjoys having Excel serve the same purpose. In the interview Dr. King describes how to set up Excel to keep track of a number of simultaneous projects as you move through the steps to accomplishment. Getting to know and accept your own individual process of writing, or whatever activity your field involves, will help you be the “master of your own universe.” If the timeline you set out proves unrealistic, you simply revise it. When your life consists of many different strands—interest in a wide range of ideas, projects, and so forth—lists and charts help to avoid feeling overwhelmed and helpless in face of the project viewed as a whole. Dr. Kathleen King of University of Central Florida concludes with inspiring thoughts about attaining a balance in life between accomplishment, health, and activities that nurture your spirit.

Professor Michael King, Director of UCL's Mental Health Sciences Unit, discusses the nature of homophobia, how this knowledge guides efforts to reduce it and whether or not they are successful. Despite a general decline in self-reported prejudice against gay and lesbian people in many western countries, overt anti-homosexual biases remain relatively common. Although there has been a lot of study into the causes of such prejudice, less attention is paid to developing and testing interventions to reduce it. Lecture on 17th May 2013, International Day Against Homophobia 2013 Speaker biography: 
Professor King is Director of UCL's Mental Health Sciences Unit. He has been involved in large scale national and international research and amongst his research interests he includes the epidemiology of sexual dysfunction, the stress and stigma faced by gay and lesbian people and the role of religious and spiritual beliefs in mental well-being. He featured on The Independent's 2011 and 2012 Pink List, highlighting the 100 most inspiring and influential people in the UK's LGBT community. UCL is consistently ranked as one of the world's top universities.

Professor Helen King (Professor of Classical Studies, The Open University) delivers the 2011 McGovern Lecture. The notion of a 'body of fluids' being replaced by a 'body of organs' is widespread in the history of Western medicine, and the female body is seen as more 'fluid' than the male body. Yet, despite such claims, recent work on the pre-modern period has focused on anatomy rather than physiology. In this lecture, Professor King examines contemporary assumptions about the history of the body and the role of physiology in past societies.

Professor Michael King is based at the Department of Mental Health Sciences, University College London. Together with some co-authors, Professor King has published a paper in the May issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry on prevalence of common mental disorders in general practice attendees across Europe, which he discusses here with Raj Persaud
