After all, here was a founding father of bioethics, an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science, the recipient of numerous honorary degrees, a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize-in short, someone who should be able to understand how crucial their research is-and he was calling it comparatively unimportant. Later, as a philosophy graduate student at Harvard, he extended his "Catholic" education by serving as teaching assistant to the great English historian Christopher Dawson, author of Progress and Religion, among many other books.\n We need the right image because in confronting our mortality we are dealing with a level of consciousness that is "deeper than that which can be wholl...

She wrote to Annie of matters large and small, of those strikingly at the center of her life, such as the illness and death of her husband, and of those more exterior to her but perhaps equally as formative, such as her nation's Civil War, For this extraordinary epistolary friendship took place during an equally extraordinary time-the US Civil War period-and this historical backdrop provides a rich context within which to examine Hawthorne's correspondence with Fields, specifically her treatment of gender. [...] in a 2006 essay, I explored Hawthorne's writing of the war in the letters, arguing that she thereby contributes to and participates in what Lyde Cullen Sizer calls "an alternative history and narrative of the [Civil W] ar" - a story told by women about women's experience of t...

This article offers a critique of some recent work on gender, which, influenced by the linguistic turn, over-states the historical significance of identity. Drawing on the work of the First World War tank commander and later Kleinian psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion, the article offers some suggestions about what a history of masculinity in the First World War might look if emotional experience, rather than "identity," was at the centre of study. Focusing on two men, one an officer and Regular soldier, the other a rank-and-file Volunteer, the article explores the emotional impact of the war on the domestic lives of veterans. The war, it argues, drew men into relationships of care that had traditionally been women's domain; in the process creating both a crisis and an opportunity for subjectiv...

In an era when much of our written communication involves Tweets of 140 characters or fewer and text messages that disregard grammar and celebrate misspelled words for their efficiency, it's encouraging that some youngsters care deeply about writing.

Though they cannot supplant nor replace other methodologies, films can possibly raise new questions, provide different perspectives, and reveal unique ways of knowing about seminal subject, at least by comparison to the standard fare of academic analysis. Each one, "ethics" and "leadership," draw upon substantially different intellectual literatures, scholarly methodologies, traditional assumptions, and disciplinary perspectives. Film, often far better than social science literature, may provide a more "holistic account" of not only individual lives, but entire situations where ethical leadership is practiced. Finally, ethical leadership includes the use of symbols. Symbols abound throughout, thus giving the story meaning, depth, and power beyond simply "a typical feel-good" movie. List...
