2012-13 Reading Circles

All faculty and staff are invited to participate in reading circles during the year. These circles are funded by Work Culture grants and led by faculty and staff. You are expected to attend at least four sessions and prepare by reading and identifying issues you'd like to discuss. If you'd like to attend, please register with Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu) and pick up a book. Let her know if you prefer to receive an e-book.

Current circles include:
Community Building - Seth Godin's Linchpin: An Unsettling Call to Be Indispensable and Andrew Delbanco's College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be
Inclusiveness - Susan E. Pick and Jenna Sirkin's Breaking the Poverty Cycle: The Human Basis for Sustainable Development
Leadership - Julie Clow's The Work Revolution: Freedom and Excellence for All and Don Chu's The Department Chair's Primer: What Chairs Need to Know and Do to Make a Difference

For more information, see descriptions below.

Seth Godin's Linchpin: An Unsettling Call to Be Indispensable
Community Building Series
Facilitator: Ashok Kapoor
Schedule: Thursdays, 3:30-5:00 p.m. (September 20, October 18, November 15, February 7, and March 14)
First Reading: Chapters 1-4

In our society linchpins are those individuals that hold things together. Yes, organizations might succeed or thrive for a while without them, but eventually as pressure is applied and structures are tested, things will fall apart. Godin clearly illustrates that we are in a critical time in history when a new breed of worker and leader are required. We need linchpins to solve our problems, keep us connected, and inspire us with art. People who are linchpins are creative, good at connecting with others, and able to see solutions like no one else. They truly are indispensable.

As Seth Godin explains this concept to his readers, he turns their minds upside down in order to convince them that they are in some way capable of being one. He explains how we got here, criticizing the public education system for creating cogs to fill factories and consumers to buy what they produce. He argues that we get exactly what we focus on. In the end we wind-up with drones that do what they are told. There is no shortage of pundits today that criticize the flaws of our education system, but few will offer a solution. He challenges teachers to inspire student to think instead of follow rulebooks and ace tests. He even goes as far as telling us to give ourselves a D for the rut we have fallen into.

Linchpin could be Mr. Godin's greatest work so far. He treats the subject with history and sociology as well as a compelling mix of fact, story and philosophy. Using examples that will both shock and inspire, Linchpin leaves you feeling like you have no choice but to reassess your current situation and make the changes he so eloquently urges us toward.

Andrew Delbanco's College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be
Community Building Series
Facilitator: Doug Green
Schedule: Tuesdays 3:30-5:00 p.m. (September 25, October 16, November 20, February 19, March 26, April 16)

As the commercialization of American higher education accelerates, more and more students are coming to college with the narrow aim of obtaining a preprofessional credential. The traditional four-year college experience--an exploratory time for students to discover their passions and test ideas and values with the help of teachers and peers--is in danger of becoming a thing of the past. In College, prominent cultural critic Andrew Delbanco offers a trenchant defense of such an education, and warns that it is becoming a privilege reserved for the relatively rich. In arguing for what a true college education should be, he demonstrates why making it available to as many young people as possible remains central to America's democratic promise.

In a brisk and vivid historical narrative, Delbanco explains how the idea of college arose in the colonial period from the Puritan idea of the gathered church, how it struggled to survive in the nineteenth century in the shadow of the new research universities, and how, in the twentieth century, it slowly opened its doors to women, minorities, and students from low-income families. He describes the unique strengths of America's colleges in our era of globalization and, while recognizing the growing centrality of science, technology, and vocational subjects in the curriculum, he mounts a vigorous defense of a broadly humanistic education for all. Acknowledging the serious financial, intellectual, and ethical challenges that all colleges face today, Delbanco considers what is at stake in the urgent effort to protect these venerable institutions for future generations.

Susan E. Pick and Jenna Sirkin's Breaking the Poverty Cycle: The Human Basis for Sustainable Development
Inclusiveness Series
Facilitators: Matt Maruggi and Joe Underhill
Schedule: 12:00-1:30 p.m. Wednesdays (October 10, November 7, December 5, and January 23)
Batalden Convocation, February 20 at 10:00 am.

Pick and Sirkin show how IMIFAP, a Mexican NGO, has employed a development strategy to encourage the establishment of a participatory, healthy and educated citizenry. IMIFAP was founded in 1984. Through its health promotion and poverty reduction work it has reached over 19 million people in 14 countries. Its mission is to enable society's poor and vulnerable to take charge of their lives through helping them develop their potential. The program strategy is grounded in Amartya Sen's approach to sustainable development through expanding individual's capabilities and freedoms.

The central premise of the book is that enhancing skills, knowledge and reducing psychological and contextual barriers to change are central (and often neglected) aspects of sustainable development.. Through powerful testimonies, the book shows how the IMIFAP "I want to, I can" programs assists people in taking the control of their lives. Our discussion will examine how this approach can apply to our work at Augsburg.

Susan Pick, a professor of psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, will give the Batalden Symposium in Applied Ethics on February 20.

Julie Clow's The Work Revolution: Freedom and Excellence for All
Leadership Series
Facilitator: Paul Terrio
Schedule: Tuesdays 8:30-10:00 a.m. (October 2, November 6, December 4, January 8, February 5, March 5, April 2)

Embrace connectivity, increase empowerment, and achieve better work-life blending.

We live in a new age of global organizations, hyper-access to information, and accessibility to tools that enable us to bring any idea life. Strangely, our workplaces are lagging behind the promise of this open and collaborative world. Most organizations are rule-based, top-down, dreary environments optimized for conformity and little else. The Work Revolution creates a compelling portrait of a different kind of work.

"I believe freedom in the workplace is worth fighting for and every person and every organization can be excellent."

Julie Clow articulates the rules we follow today in our work force, the reasons they no longer work, and what we can do instead. The Work Revolution deconstructs the magic behind thriving, liberated organizations (such as Google, which is repeatedly named as the Best Workplace) into clear principles that any individual, leader, and organization can adopt to create sustainable and engaging lives.
• Provides actionable changes anyone can make, regardless of where they work, to create a more sustainable work-life blend
• Details concrete ways to influence existing organizations to change
• Guides leaders to make tangible changes in their teams to enable greater autonomy and impact
• Outlines organizational culture principles that support and nurture high-performance and healthy environments, providing clear options for instituting cultural change based on specific organizational challenges

Rejecting productivity Band-Aids and quick fixes, The Work Revolution conceptualizes a completely new workplace that embraces the always-connected reality to create organizations in which high achievers can sustainably thrive.

Don Chu's The Department Chair's Primer: What Chairs Need to Know and Do to Make a Difference
Leadership Series for Chairs
Facilitators: Joan Kunz and Merilee Klemp
Schedule: Thursdays 3:40-5:00 (Dates TBD)

The Department Chair Primer provides the practical information that chairs need to do their jobs well. Many of the book's ideas come from practicing chairs and are proven strategies for dealing with a variety of issues. Each chapter details a particular problem, includes a brief introduction to the topic, provides tips on how to deal with the situation, and concludes with targeted questions for further consideration. Its concise format is ideal for busy chairs which need a brief but informative resource.

The readings will serve as a catalyst for conversations among chairs about how to be more effective.

Pizza!

This is to invite you (compel you, really) to come to a mandatory meeting for all history majors, and those who would like to be history majors. (Does "mandatory seem too strong a word? How mandatory can it really be? What do you think will happen if you can't come. Okay. We'd really just like you to be there.) It's the first time in a while that we've tried to gather you all in one place, so we want to make it worth your time.

Pizza!

Here are some of the things we'd like to do:

-- talk about the future of the history club
-- discuss possibilities for the Chrislock lecture
-- give you a sneak preview of the new Department of History website
-- ask your advice about the kinds of courses you'd like to see in the future.

Did I mention the pizza? Since the meeting will take place at the dinner hour, we'll provide the pies and pop. Please come so we can check in with you, hear how you're doing, and get the whole history crowd off to a good start for the 2012-2013 academic year.

On behalf of all your history professors, we look forward to seeing you.

Katie Lindenfelser completed her music therapy education at Augsburg College in 2002 and her master's in music therapy at the University of Melbourne in 2007. Lindenfelser has worked in the palliative care and hospice field and found that children and families were especially responsive to music therapy and in need of services. She worked at Very Special Kids children's hospice in Melbourne, Australia and returned to Minnesota to research the need for and to establish such a home in Minnesota. Since early 2009, Lindenfelser has been working to build Children's Lighthouse of Minnesota serving children with life-limiting conditions and their families through respite stays for the child and family as well as to provide loving and compassionate care at the end-of-life and beyond.

Open Hearings on the Credit Hour Mandate

As you probably know, the federal government has issued a mandate that all colleges and universities must be in compliance with guidelines regarding course credit hours. The Higher Learning Commission has established protocols to ensure compliance and a group of Augsburg staff and faculty members has been meeting this past summer to work on means by which this compliance can be accomplished.

At the first faculty Senate meeting, senators discussed the work of the Task Force on Academic Program Structure (TFAPS). It is important that all faculty and staff members also have opportunities to learn about the proposed changes and to discuss options. Therefore, we have scheduled four open hearings on the credit hour issue before the first faculty meeting. Please plan to attend one (or more) of these sessions:

Tuesday, Sept. 11; 3-4 p.m. in East Commons
Wednesday, Sept. 12; 12-1 p.m. in East Commons (NOTE THIS ADDITIONAL TIME)
Thursday, Sept. 13; 9-10 a.m. in East Commons
Tuesday, Sept. 25; 12-1 p.m. in East Commons
