POPULARITY
If all the noise in the popular media and online is anything to go by, differences between various generations including Gen Z, Gen X, Boomers and so on are not just real but are something that leaders and organisations need to take seriously in order to ensure their effectiveness into the future. But is that really the case? Is there really a scientific basis to support arguments and assertions about generational differences and their impact on organisations?To explore these questions, I am delighted to welcome to Brain for Business Professor David Costanza.David Costanza is a professor at the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce.About our guest...Professor Costanza's research focuses on generational differences; adaptive leadership; high potential; organizational culture, decline, and death; as well as statistics and research methods.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has always been a great case study in the limits of religious liberty and tolerance in America. But what can the history of Mormonism tell us about U.S. tax history? According to Loyola University Chicago School of Law Professor Sam Brunson, quite a lot!Kicking off this new season of Scholars & Saints, Dr. Brunson sits down with host Nicholas Shrum to discuss his new book, Between the Temple and the Tax Collector: The Intersection of Mormonism and the State. Dr. Brunson details the rich history of tax law as it relates to the LDS Church, from tithing in Nauvoo to Brigham Young's hefty federal income tax liability. Throughout this history, Dr. Brunson examines specifically how taxable status—notably tax exemptions—are a cornerstone of American religious liberty that tie the church and the state together more intricately than the Jeffersonian doctrine of a "wall of separation" might imply.To find out more about Dr. Brunson and his upcoming projects, click here.

From gubernatorial vetoes to a shakeup on the University of Virginia's Board of Visitors – it's been a busy week in state politics and government. Michael Pope and Jeff Schapiro – political columnist at the Richmond Times-Dispatch – discuss the week that was.
Perhaps there is something irrational about one person attempting to write as many stories as possible about a meeting of a public institution's governing body. But that is the basic frame of this Pi Day edition of the Charlottesville Community Engagement podcast. I'm Sean Tubbs, and this week I've put a premium on going through several hours of the University of Virginia's Board of Visitors meeting to hear one specific incident. I didn't get there yet, but what follows is the perhaps most thorough town coverage of gown goings-on.In this edition:* UVA continues to meet fundraising goals (learn more)* Ellis continues to vote against any capital spending at UVA (learn more)* University of Virginia planning to phase out coal plant (learn more)* The chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee continues to express concern about scope of proposed Center for the Arts (learn more)* UVA projects increase in graduate student enrollment through 2031 while undergraduate population will remain flat (learn more)* UVA Finance Committee endorses transfer of Virginia Guesthouse, expansion of mail pharmacy (learn more)* UVA Finance Committee briefed on need for data center (learn more)* Funding to construct UVA Center for the Arts included in General Assembly's version of the budget (learn more)First shout-out: Celebrating the community's other information organizations!There are a lot of stories each week that go out through this newsletter, but no one information outlet can put together the entire picture. That's why each regular edition ends with a section called Reading Material.Charlottesville is fortunate to have a media landscape that includes the Charlottesville Daily Progress, C-Ville Weekly, Charlottesville Tomorrow, and Cville Right Now, I curate links from these sources because I believe a truly informed community needs multiple perspectives.There's also the Cavalier Daily, Vinegar Hill Magazine, the Fluvanna Review, the Crozet Gazette, NBC29, CBS19, and other sources. But if you look every day, you'll find links to articles in national publications, all linked to give you more perspectives on some of the issues of our times.Now more than ever, journalism is needed. To be a citizen of a democracy, you must seek information from multiple sources. Consume only one and you are at risk of becoming a zombie!Second shout-out: Advertise on Information CharlottesvilleLong-time readers may know that most of the stories posted through this newsletter are also posted to Information Charlottesville. Sometimes the stories go there first! Both this newsletter and that website are part of the same information gathering operation, an operation I hope to continue to grow!There are multiple ways to contribute to Town Crier Productions.One new one is to place an advertisement on Information Charlottesville. I'm in the early days of experimenting with visual ways for organizations to get their message across to a growing audience. I've not yet put together a media kit, but I'm ready to offer a special for March. What's the special? More details in the audio version of the podcasts.Advertising on Information Charlottesville could be a great way to keep my business going while also growing yours. I think there are new ways to do advertising, but I don't know what they are until I'm allowed to continue testing. This is a public episode.

We speak with Dr. Kim Penberthy today who joined us from the University of Virginia. Kim wears many hats. She is a professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. She is also a board certified clinical psychologist and conducts research, teaches, and provides clinical care at UVA in psychiatry and the cancer center. She also studies and researches after death communication. She lived on a farm in a house that witnessed Civil War strife, with her mother a nurse and her father a would-be farmer surgeon. Exposed to life and death on a farm, she began at an early age asking herself and her parents metaphysical questions – long before she became a clinician and research scientist. We hear about her life changing story at the beach and fascinating surgical table stories heard from her aging father. We learn about her pursuit in researching after death communications from those who lose loved ones and how this research may help develop more wholistic therapeutic approaches to grieving.

If there's been a consistent theme of disruption in an era of disruption over the past decade it's the US relationship in China. Shutdowns, trade battles and now real threats of force are being ratcheted up on both sides. For financial executives tasked with managing supply chains and forecasting overseas markets, the threat of global conflict puts everything on the balance sheet in doubt. But there is a broader historical context for today's China worries that can help put the current conflicts in context and lay out a path to forecasting the future. In this episode of the FEI Weekly podcast we speak with Dale Copeland, Professor of international relations at the University of Virginia and author of “A World Safe for Commerce”, a new book that reveals how trade and commerce has defined America's foreign policy – and often its military actions – and how contemporary challenges with Russia and China can be thought about in that lens.

Embark on a thought-provoking journey through the realm of political leadership with Larry Roberts of the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at UVA. Our discussion cuts through the heart of today's partisan divisions, shedding light on the institute's mission to shape leaders who embody trust, respect, and the art of civil dialogue. As we navigate the complex challenges that Virginia's unique political landscape presents, Larry offers invaluable perspectives on fostering consensus and tailoring solutions to meet the distinct needs of diverse communities. His insights remind us that effective governance is not about one-size-fits-all answers but rather about understanding and addressing the nuanced demands of local regions.In a political era defined by narrow election margins and policy extremes, our talk with Larry Roberts reveals the public's craving for leaders who transcend party lines in pursuit of real-world solutions. Hear how the Sorensen program champions this call by molding a new vanguard of ethical, cooperative policymakers. With anecdotes of Sorensen alumni influencing Virginia's political tapestry, this episode illustrates the profound impact that a foundation built on shared values can have in creating a more harmonious and effective political climate. The conversation also emphasizes the personal commitment to bipartisanship as a catalyst for meaningful discourse and policymaking that truly serves the electorate.This episode takes us to the convergence of ethics, history, and free speech in the public sphere. Tackling the contentious debates over critical race theory and the ethics of controversial campus speakers, we explore the significance of including a spectrum of historical perspectives in educational settings. By examining partnerships like that between Colonial Williamsburg and a historic African American church, our conversation with Larry underscores the need for a more inclusive American narrative. Wrapping up, we contemplate how one-on-one dialogues, rather than heated public debates, can lead to deeper understanding and respect for the myriad of viewpoints that make up our political landscape. Join us as we uncover the value of fostering these exchanges, even in the face of issues that resist straightforward compromise.0:00 Navigating Political Division and Leadership10:36 Building Political Cohesion and Constructive Conversations19:52 Ethics and Moderation in Politics27:46 Ethics and Perspectives in Public Life42:35 Finding Common Ground in Political ConversationsMusic: Coma-Media (intro) WinkingFoxMusic (outro)Recorded: 12/21/23

One of Donald Trump's 2024 campaign promises is to upend the modern civil service through an executive order called “Schedule F”. Democrats and Republicans have been fighting over this administrative state since its conception, but why is this area of government so divisive and what power does it really hold?The history of the civil services' origins is one that holds many lessons about the rise of presidential power, the fall of the party system, and the polarization of politics. And there is no better expert on these topics than University of Virginia political scientist, Sidney Milkis. His 1993 book “The President and the Parties” is one of those books that seems to always be relevant but, with increased conservative focus on the administrative state, it is especially worth revisiting today.
