Inclusive work environments can yield greater creative output, boost employee morale, and benefit a company’s bottom line. But inclusion doesn’t just happen, and one of the key factors is cultural competence-the ability to recognize, engage, and adapt across cultural differences. In this course, DEI expert Mary-Frances Winters explores key skills to help you better understand cultural differences and explains how to leverage them to foster inclusion in the workplace. Mary-Frances starts by breaking down the concept of cultural competence into its pieces. She then helps you examine your intersecting identities that help you to begin to have more empathy towards others. And learn how to differentiate between stereotyping a culture versus recognizing cultural patterns.

Free Download David G. Hebert, "Wind Bands and Cultural Identity in Japanese Schools (Landscapes: the Arts, Aesthetics, and Education, 9)"
English | 2012 | pages: 293 | ISBN: 9400737769, 9400721773 | PDF | 4,1 mb
This well researched volume tells the story of music education in Japan and of the wind band contest organized by the All-Japan Band Association. Identified here for the first time as the world’s largest musical competition, it attracts 14,000 bands and well over 500,000 competitors. The book’s insightful contribution to our understanding of both music and education chronicles music learning in Japanese schools and communities. It examines the contest from a range of perspectives, including those of policy makers, adjudicators, conductors and young musicians. The book is an illuminating window on the world of Japanese wind bands, a unique hybrid tradition that comingles contemporary western idioms with traditional Japanese influences. In addition to its social history of Japanese school music programs, it shows how participation in Japanese school bands contributes to students’ sense of identity, and sheds new light on the process of learning to play European orchestral instruments.

Free Download The Cultural History of the Chinese Concepts Fengjian (Feudalism) and Jingji (Economy) by Tianyu Feng
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 159 Pages | ISBN : 9819926165 | 2.9 MB
This book interprets the typical Chinese concepts of fengjian (feudalism) and jingji (economy) by reviewing the mistranslation and mismatching of concepts from ancient to modern times and from a Western language to Chinese and exploring Chinese and Western acculturation, which is in line with Mr. Chen Yinque’s theory-"To interpret a Chinese character is to write a history of culture". In the coordinates of time and space for the transformation of Chinese concepts from ancient to modern times and their translation from Western languages, this book explores the generation and evolution of Chinese concepts; using the semantic window of Chinese characters, the book reviews the historical and cultural connotations of the semantic changes and the history of the long-lasting culture of Chinese characters. This volume moves from reviewing the semantic changes of fengjian and jingji to elaborating concepts of thought; it makes the study of the history of terms and concepts the study of the history of culture and thought; it analyzes words as part of cultural history to welcome the era of cultural and historical research with a focus on words.

English | 2003 | pages: 246 | ISBN: 1349387363, 0312293100 | PDF | 1,9 mb
Through an interview-based study, Victoria Pitts has researched the subcultural milieu of contemporary body modification, focusing on the ways sexuality, gender and ethnicity are being reconfigured through new body technologies – not only tattooing, but piercing, cyberpunk and such ‘neotribal’ practices as scarification. She interprets the stories of sixteen body modifiers (as well as some subcultural magazines and films) using the tools of feminist and queer theory. Pitts not only covers a hot topic but also situates it in a theoretical context.
