- Description:
- There is limited aggregated data showing the amount and levels of preparedness training for active shooter situations in public, academic, and K-12 libraries in California and across the United States. The purpose of this research is to assess the state of preparedness of librarians, staff, and volunteers working in these libraries for active shooter situations. In 2018, the authors collected data from academic, public, and school library personnel about their attitudes and levels of preparedness for active shooter situations. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the development of best practices in raising safety awareness in academic and public libraries.

- Description:
- Accompanied by increasing demands on school administrator preparation and rapid development of computer technology, educational statistics courses are exposed to unprecedented pressures for changing both curriculum content and computing platforms. In this article, the intended curriculum is reviewed according to data analysis expectations from state and national guidelines. Past recommendations on statistics instruction are examined to justify the need for quantitative research skills in school administrator preparation. The curriculum implementation is further investigated to reflect a fundamental revision of statistics content by the American Statistical Association. The article ends with an overview of the cutting-edge software development in R that is likely to reshape the future data processing, text analytics, and graphical display for school administrators.

- Description:
- This chapter outlines the author’s experience co-designing and co-teaching an undergraduate problem-based learning public health course with faculty from her liaison department at a mid-size public university. During the year and a half spent on the design and implementation of this course, the author’s role evolved from information literacy consultant to co-instructor, ultimately deepening her relationship with her liaison department and its students and faculty. There were many opportunities, challenges, and lessons learned from working collaboratively on this new course, including the fundamental ways in which problem-based learning requires students to use information literacy skills. This experience also demonstrates the advantages of challenging oneself to teach outside of one’s subject expertise, in less familiar liaison subject areas.

- Description:
- Although the issues of diversity and representation are often discussed within academic librarianship in Canada and the United States, the field has made little headway in being inclusive of the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) who work within it. If academic libraries are to become truly authentic and inclusive spaces where BIPOC are central not only to shaping the values of a library but also to determining how those values are accomplished, we must examine the traditional ways in which libraries function. One of these traditions is a reliance on bureaucracy and its associated practices such as structured group work and meetings, which are presumed to be inherently neutral and rational ways of working. Critical examinations of bureaucracy within higher education reveal how its overadoption is absurdly at odds with the social justice–oriented missions of most libraries. Furthermore, not all who are involved in libraries are equally harmed through this overreliance on bureaucracy; this article employs Critical Race Theory to uncover the insidious and specific deleterious impacts bureaucracies can have on BIPOC library workers. The antithesis of a neutral system, bureaucracy instead functions to force assimilation into a system entrenched in whiteness.

- Description:
- In the English-speaking world, the study of Chinese philosophy has been focused mainly on pre-Qin philosophy and Song-Ming neo-Confucianism. In comparison, contemporary Chinese philosophy, as an initial attempt to communicate with western philosophy and world philosophy, has not received sufficient attention. This book is a timely study of the 20th century Chinese philosopher Thomé H. Fang 方東美.

- Description:
- This paper aims at showing the significance in Roman Ingarden’s thinking of two often overlooked ontological concepts: Gestalt quality and harmonious unity. Ingarden understands Gestalt a derived quality that springs from the coexistence of several qualities standing in harmonious unity. The main feature of the Gestalt quality is that it is more than the sum of its part and thus brings something new into being. In Ingarden’s hands, that quite simple and intuitive idea is refined to be used in fields as diverse as ontology, aesthetics, theory of values or anthropology. After having presented those concepts, the paper then shifts to further developing their significance in a particular field: Ingarden’s conception of human being. To this end, the paper successively addresses Ingarden’s conception of human nature, the ontology of value, responsibility and human value-driven action.

- Description:
- This paper offers a comparative study of two fundamental Confucian concepts, namely, “harmony” (he) and “coherence” (li). After presenting and interpreting the two characters – with reference to both classical thought and Neo-Confucianism – the paper examines how these concepts relate in the specific context of Neo-Confucian thought. While considering their differences in historical development, the study takes account of important characteristics shared by the two concepts as well as the ways in which they differ: in particular, it is argued that “harmony” is primarily relational while “coherence” is primarily constitutional. The common ground relating these two notions, in light of their differences, is to be found in their shared aspects of creativity and dynamism.

- This paper argues that the Chinese concept of harmony is exemplified in the historical process that resulted in the Chinese people and the geographic entity of China itself. The concept of harmony overcomes the dualism between identity and heterogeneity and is best understood through the paradigm of the organic. This paper will first outline the three conventional, dualistic, (mis)understandings of the nature of the Chinese people and China in the mainstream Western academe: (1) in racial terms, that is, as possessing the “essence” of Chinese-ness, (2) the Chinese people were created through “sinicization” – understood as replacing one culture with another, (3) neither China nor the Chinese people ever existed; what existed was merely heterogeneous particulars without an overall coherence. In place of these dualistic explanations, it will be argued that the concept of the harmony – understood as an organic coherence among particulars – is the most accurate way to understand the Chinese people and China as an entity. An organism maintains coherence among the parts despite constant changes to the particulars whichconstitute its body. This organic harmony is exemplified in the historical process that produced the Chinese people and China.

- Description:
- In this paper, I argue that the different understandings of “harmony”, which are rooted in ancient Greek and Chinese thought, can be recapitulated in the name of “dialectic harmony” and “ambiguous harmony” regarding the representation of the beautiful. The different understandings of the concept of harmony lead to at least two kinds of aesthetic value as well as ideality – harmonyin conciliation and harmony in diversity. Through an explication of the original meaning and relation between the concept of harmony and beauty, we can learn more about the cosmo-metaphysical origins in Western and Eastern aesthetics, with which we may gain insights for future aesthetics discourse.

- Description:
- Recent years have shown a rise of English-language scholarship exploring the relation between the Chinese concept of harmony and the Western concept of justice. This paper reconstructs the influential contemporary views on this relation advanced by Li Chenyang and Li Zehou and critically analyzes the implications of their proposal to understand harmony and justice as compatible or even mutually enhancing concepts. The paper tries to show that there are important normative—feminist—reasons against assuming all-too quickly that harmony and justice are compatible. Justice may have to be rigorously revised if it is to be compatible with harmony because justice, at least in its Rawlsian appearance, is dependent on a problematic public/private split as well as presupposes a form of interpretation and judgment that differs fundamentally from that which harmony advances. The paper proposes an intellectual partnership between contemporary Confucianism and feminist political theory and ethics of care for the purposes of rethinking justice such that it incorporates profound commitments to diversity and care.
