Presenter: Cryss Brunner, Associate Professor, Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development (OLPD), University of Minnesota Research Overview: The ongoing theory-building and research project aims to adapt and apply a macro-level conceptual framework of integrative leadership (Crosby & Bryson, 2010) for the purpose of guiding the understanding and analysis of a study of an integrative leadership development process, which was developed in one sector (education) and, through this project, transfers to another (business). Designed for participants to become aware of their own biases and assumptions related to power and identity during decision-making, the Integrative Leadership Development process may help leaders develop the skills and knowledge to cross boundaries and ease conflicts that can exist among individuals, within groups and organizations, and, ultimately, within society as a whole. The project is conducted with an eye on advancing and creating the common good. Lunch is provided; please RSVP here: http://fridayforummarch2013.eventbrite.com/#

New Deal Ruins is about the large scale reduction in commitment to public housing in the U.S. since the 1990s. Housing policy currently emphasizes the demolition of public housing and the redevelopment of previously low-income neighborhoods. This policy change is dependent on an inaccurate overall assessment of public housing - what Professor Goetz calls a “discourse of disaster”, combined with racial politics, gentrification, and an overall shift to neoliberal forms of governance. Join Professor Edward Goetz and special guest Jon Gutzmann, director of the St. Paul Housing Authority, for a conversation about the value of, and ongoing need for public housing, and about St. Paul as an example of how public housing can work. They will also discuss the challenges of continuing to run public housing at a time when federal resources are being withdrawn. RSVP here: http://edgoetz.eventbrite.com/#
