PAUSE for Pedagogy

In this PAUSE for Pedagogy, a diverse team of eight leadership educators from higher education institutions across the U.S. describe their co-inquiry process, share reflections on their learning, and offer considerations for application in other professional contexts. As they discovered, "The 2020 dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racism challenged everyone to do things differently. For leadership educators, this meant shifts in how we teach, connect with students, understand our role in making change in our institutions and communities, and navigate our own personal change."

Interview With Bill Perlman

In this Grassroots Leadership and the Arts for Social Change Corner, read this engaging transcript of Corner editor Susan J. Erenrich's interview with Bill Perlman discussing his time as a guitarist with the SNCC Freedom Singers. As Susie shares, "In the early and mid-1960s, the SNCC Freedom Singers educated audiences through their lyrics about segregation in the South and the brutality committed against those who tried to dismantle the system. These men were soldiers in a domestic war. Music was their most powerful weapon." The interview also contains a link to an episode of Susie's radio show Wasn't That A Time featuring songs related to "Remembering SNCC Freedom Singers Matthew & Marshall Jones."

Ron joins ILA Fellow Maureen Metcalf on her Innovating Leadership podcast to discuss his new book, Daily Leadership Development, his 2020 ILA Lifetime Achievement Award, and his views on the current state of leadership.
