Music Jobs in Higher Education
Authors: Timmons Jill 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In Chapter 10, the author provides a detailed narrative exploring the process from audition/interview to tenure and promotion. All manner of essential competencies is listed, including those that may not be formally articulated in a job description. Moreover, the author describes in detail the hierarchy found in most institutions of higher education, including those that fall outside of formal power structures. In this chapter you will also discover how, as a response to the post-COVID world, some institutions have remodeled their faculty appointments to include visiting artists/scholars, one- to three-year contracts, professor of practice, part-time positions, and a host of other nontenured positions. The author provides a step-by-step process that can prepare artists and scholars interested in a music job in higher education, including new requirements beyond teaching competency and artistic/scholarly achievement. These include offering career development for students, recruiting for the institution, engaging in expanded service and governance to the institution, and educating and recruiting students with considerations of diversity and inclusion. Lastly, the author calls upon institutions of higher education to revamp traditional music programs. At the center of this a new curriculum must be entrepreneurship training and the ability to continually create new arts models, thereby responding to the ever-changing market place.
Educating the Emerging Entrepreneur
Authors: Timmons Jill 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
From the clarion call in Chapter 10, the author presents, in Chapter 11, an innovative approach to entrepreneurship training in higher education, one that can easily be adapted to most institutions, and at little or no cost to the college, conservatory, or university. Using three strategic curricular modes, students can acquire foundational training in entrepreneurship, all within a four-year degree program. Developing the capacity for creating a personal vision–plan continuum is central to all arts training. It is backed by action. By providing students with experiential activities, they are able to craft their own career vision and plan. Within the applied studio, advising and private instruction is in place. The author suggests that this environment already includes three essential entrepreneurial modes: (1) entrepreneurial advising, (2) the senior capstone project, and (3) entrepreneurial instruction. This chapter outlines this innovative curriculum, providing instructional guidance. Moreover, it shows how this can be independent from administrative permissions, additional budget requests, or increased FTE.
Qualitative Atomism and Life within the 18th-Century Atomistic Perspective
Authors: Banchetti-Robino Marina Paola , Villani Giovanni 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter initiates the book’s investigations by closely examining the rise of modern atomism in the 17th century, a time during which modern, post-Aristotelian science was developing and defining its methods and conception of the material world. The chapter will examine how the atomism of philosophers such as Pierre Gassendi, and even the corpuscularianism of René Descartes and Robert Boyle, resulted from the Renaissance revival of ancient atomism in Europe that occurred with the rediscovery of Lucretius’s De Rerum Natura, in which the Roman philosopher extolls the virtues of the particulate conception of matter that he inherited from Epicurus, Leucippus, and Democritus. As we examine the ancient and modern versions of atomism more closely, however, we will note the beginning of a divergence between these two conceptions of fundamental particles. For example, although ancient atomists drew no distinction between the atoms of animate and those of inanimate matter, many early modern thinkers affirmed this dichotomy. The chapter will show that many corpuscular and atomic theories of matter in the 17th century still embraced either a vitalistic or a hylomorphic ontology, so that many early modern natural philosophers embraced a qualitative particulate theory of matter. The chapter will discuss several of the major figures of this period, including Daniel Sennert, Jan Baptista van Helmont, Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis, all of whom rejected a strictly mechanistic, quantitative, and reductionistic conception of fundamental particles.
Newton and the Newtonians
Authors: Banchetti-Robino Marina Paola , Villani Giovanni 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In spite of the dominance of mechanistic corpuscularianism, Isaac Newton rejected the Cartesian metaphysical physics. He departed from this view by postulating active principles that included gravitation and that were central to formation of the world of observable phenomena. By adding forces to particles and disengaging space from extension, Newton achieved a better understanding of movement, thereby permitting the shift from kinetics to dynamics. However, the chemist Rudjer Josif Boscovich attempted to move beyond Newton and accomplished what was probably one of the most ambitious attempts to unify 18th-century physics. Boscovich elaborated a unique theory of matter, according to which extended matter is basically a structure of equilibrium between point particles, or what he called punctas. This equilibrium results from the action of ad hoc hypothetical structuring forces that emanate from the points. Chemists of his time, already dissatisfied with the overly qualitative aspects of Paracelsian and post-Paracelsian alchemy and of vitalistic and hylomorphic conceptions of matter, became weary of embracing Boscovich’s nonquantitative conception of punctas. It is precisely this skepticism regarding metaphysical speculations regarding the fundamental nature of matter and the causal role of qualitative properties that motivated Antoine Lavoisier’s reconceptualization of chemistry as a quantitative pursuit, as well as his endorsement of a purely empirical and operational conception of elementary substances. However, Boscovich is today regarded as one of the most distinguished representatives of the 18th-century atomistic perspective, despite the fact that his ideas were quite distant from the atomistic views of his time.
What Is Life? The Chemical Perspective and Its Relation to Other Perspectives
Authors: Banchetti-Robino Marina Paola , Villani Giovanni 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this chapter, we begin by considering Schrödinger's significant book What Is Life? The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell, in order to analyze the way in which the chemical and systemic perspective that we propose answers this perennial question. We will attempt to explain why the chemical approach to living beings is so effective with the help of two examples: that of neurotransmitters and that of the immune system. We will also examine the approach of biosemiotics and the processual approach, both of which differ from our own in this book, bearing in mind the philosophical question regarding what entities and processes represent in science. To answer the question “What is life?” we consider the essential distinction in systemics between open and closed systems and discuss Prigogine's analysis in terms of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. After this, we reexamine Morin’s discussion of the relationship of living beings with their environment. Finally, to conclude, we compare two structured emergent systems, the molecule and the cell, from the perspective of the systemic approach that we defend in this book.
Empowering “Responsible Publics” and the Emergence of War Capitalism
Authors: Rosenberg William G. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The discussion turns to state and public efforts to address the actualities and effects of scarcity and loss, focusing on well-known institutions and initiatives. It contrasts the ineffective “solutions” of tsarist state power to the policies and perspectives that were part of democratic liberal and socialist historical imaginations. Detailed here are mutual efforts to devolve authority downward from the center to individuals and institutions in the localities familiar with local conditions, a process that would soon distribute authority in problematic ways. The chapter also emphasizes the deepening problems of financing and markets in the distribution of scarce goods. It suggests that efforts to resolve them through state and state-supported private financing created what can be thought of as “war capitalism,” a system that by the end of 1915 had greatly accentuated socioeconomic inequalities and the cultures of social difference.
Seeking Solutions, Drowning in Blood
Authors: Rosenberg William G. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Chapter 5 contrasts the experiences of front-line soldiers in the winter and spring of 1916 with the debates about management and malfeasance at the highest levels of officialdom, throughout Russia’s public organizations, and within democratic liberal and socialist organizations. It suggests two polarizing perspectives: confusion and chaos from above, and corruption and malfeasance from below. The role of Rasputin becomes central to the first, the railroads and their cultures of venality and corruption to the second. Anxieties around pricing and rationing become other sources of division, as does the increasingly fraught “labor question.” When Boris Shturmer takes control of the government, “militarization” is increasingly posited as the state’s best “solution.” The exaggerated successes of the renowned Brusilov offensive, an urgent effort to bring the war to an end, are then contrasted to the soldiers’ story of “drowning in blood,” its broader meaning suggested as a “tragic romance.”
Choreographing the Indigenous Body in the Independence Centennial
Authors: Reynoso Jose Luis 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on Porfirian ambivalence toward mestizaje and indigeneity during the 1910 Centennial celebrations of Mexican independence. The chapter argues that while designing these festivities, Díaz’s government instrumentalized mestizaje and indigeneity to create state performances of racial difference, tradition, and modernity. Analyses of scientific and philanthropic efforts demonstrate how a re-emerging interest in the indigenous Mesoamerican reimagined Mexico’s live and dead “Indians’ ” as figures of national representation and as objects of rescue and modernization. The chapter uses choreography as an analytical methodology to examine representations of the indigenous and modernity in dance and theater, art contests in print media and visual arts, massive parades, and other public events. While doing so, it provides a context to understand how this resurgent, ambivalent interest in mestizaje and indigenism subsequently integrated into the revolutionary governments’ efforts to institute mestizo and indigenous cultures and histories as foundational to new nation-building projects.
Dates, Authorship, and Historical Contexts
Authors: Gray David B. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The first chapter begins by defining the Buddhist tantric traditions in relation to the tantras, the central scriptures that are believed to be revelations by buddhas. It then moves on the discuss the emergence of the Buddhist tantric traditions in India during the seventh century ce, and their dependence on Śaiva Hindu tantric traditions, which emerged approximately two centuries earlier, as well as on earlier Buddhist traditions of ritual magic. Drawing on Western scholarship on scripture, the chapter explores the ways in which the Buddhist tantras were likely composed. It concludes with a survey of the origin myths recounted by Buddhist traditions for these works, suggesting that they shed light on these traditions’ main concerns.
Transgression, Censorship, and Interpretation
Authors: Gray David B. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The fifth chapter focuses on transgressive rhetoric in the tantras, arguing that it created an obstacle to their dissemination and translation due to the concerns that this raised. It explores the ways in which this was addressed both by translators and by commentators. The former developed strategies to translate transgressive passages so as to mitigate their impact, while the latter developed creative strategies for explaining this content. This chapter suggests that this rhetoric may have been a direct challenge to Buddhist identity so as to facilitate its transformation in tantric contemplative practice. But it also created considerable resistance to the acceptance of tantric texts and practice traditions, in premodern Asia as well as the contemporary world.
The Unholy Trinity
Authors: Laycock Joseph P. , Harrelson Eric 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter analyzes the creation and reception of an “unholy trinity” of supernatural horror films: Rosemary’s Baby (1968), The Exorcist (1973), and The Omen (1976). It could be said that The Exorcist was a Catholic response to Rosemary’s Baby while The Omen represented a Protestant response. In each case, directors and producers deployed “metatextual reflection” to suggest to audiences that their film was “cursed” or otherwise connected to literal demonic forces. There is ample evidence that these films shaped the way audiences imagined such topics as the reality of witches and satanic conspiracies, the possibility of demonic possession, and Biblical prophecy.
Introduction
Authors: Troyansky David G. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Introduction lays out the basic themes of the book. They are rooted in social, cultural, and political history as well as gerontology. A study of the careers and retirement demands of French magistrates across the first half of the nineteenth century permits an examination of the emergence of a modern, professional life course in public service. The Introduction reviews the social and cultural histories of retirement and aging and situates the book in a period that saw rapid political changes and attempts by public servants to assert the importance of their careers and their rights to public pensions. The bureaucratic system that emerged provided a model that anticipated the world of the welfare state. The archival material permits both the gathering of empirical evidence about careers and the interpretation of first-person accounts in magistrates’ narratives.
The Response of School Social Work to Racial Segregation and Desegregation in American Public Schools
Authors: Guz Samantha 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter utilizes critical discourse analysis (CDA) to understand school social work’s response to school segregation and desegregation throughout the twentieth century. The chapter includes three analyses: (a) an analysis of school social work archives prior to Brown v. Board of Education I and II, (b) an analysis of social work archives during the Brown v. Board proceedings, and (c) an analysis of school social work archives after the court rulings. The historical analysis reveals that school social work reinforced racial segregation prior to Brown v Board and was largely unresponsive to the process of desegregation following Brown v. Board. This unresponsiveness is traced to school social work’s entrenched relationship with power manifested throughout the twentieth century as professional commitments that included investing in “scientific social reform,” situating social problems within individuals, and pursuing individual modes of change. The chapter concludes by framing professionalization as a form of interest convergence.
Everyday Whiteness and the Failure of the Private Life
Authors: Frey William R. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the words of James Baldwin—his prophetic insights into the relationship between American public stances and private lives. How do White people live with such massive contradictions between how they present their lives publicly and how they live those everyday lives as individuals and as people with roles in institutions and professions oriented toward Whiteness? This chapter is written into the chasm between White people’s public stances and their private lives through an interrogation of Whiteness, performances of White people in social work (and the profession as a whole), and their everyday, mundane actions and behaviors. The chapter ends where it began, with Baldwin: “The price of change is awful and it is also extremely concrete, and one’s got to be prepared, I think, to lose everything one hoped for and everything one has.”
Using Futures Thinking to Imagine the Evolution of Antiracism Practice in Social Work
Authors: Nissen Laura Burney , Beaudoin Lillian , Bell Finn , Bradley Samuel L. , Brooks Lonny Avi , Dunagan Jake , Littman Danielle 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Imagining an antiracist social work future is paramount in shaping a more just social work, especially in light of the racial harms embedded in the foundation and maintenance of the field. Foresight practice, while underutilized in social work, consists of tools that help plan for futures social workers seek and avoid futures they fear. This chapter uses scenario-building narratives to “pre-experience” possible futures: one in which antiracist social work ostensibly “grows,” one where antiracist social work is rebranded to “conserve” the profession, another with widespread “collapse” of antiracist social work, and, finally, a scenario wherein the field “transforms” to reimagine social work with antiracism at the center. The chapter concludes with a call for broader use of foresight practice in social work—to expand social workers’ sensibilities around what is possible and plan for the futures they want to build, while remaining vigilant about the futures they want to avoid.
Black Mothers Matter
Authors: Eaddy Natane , Hopkins Marcía , Montgomery Dominique Mikell 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that the racial disparity within child welfare is an indication of the system’s lack of consideration of the experiences, needs, and desires of Black mothers. It posits that this inattention to Black mothers is grounded historically in the enslavement of Black people and given credence through federal child welfare laws. In response to this injustice, the chapter proposes that to address racial disparity in the child welfare system, society must first embrace an abolitionist framework offering support to Black mothers. This abolitionist framework includes providing necessary supports to prevent Black mothers from encounters with policing systems like the child welfare system and developing family-centered policies and practices for all mothers.
Managing White Fragility
Authors: Spears Yolanda 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
As a Black woman faculty member teaching a diversity course at a predominantly White institution, the author finds it challenging to prepare White students to engage in antiracist pedagogy that encourages them to learn about their privileged positionality and power. The author witnesses how White students intellectually reproduce information about racialized groups but struggle to notice their role in the privileging of Whiteness. This chapter describes curricular strategies the author uses to help White students manage their defensiveness and anger toward her as a Black woman and sit in the discomfort of course content that highlights the experiences of people of color dissonant with the dominant White culture. One specific strategy the author uses to help White students connect to their racial privilege is a fifteen-episode podcast called Seeing White, where the hosts examine “where the notion of whiteness comes from” and unpack the purposely untold history of race in America.
Epilogue
Authors: Harty Justin S. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Social Work, White Supremacy, and Racial Justice (SWWSRJ) symposium aimed to confront and address racism within the social work profession. As recent events, such as the shootings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, have forced America to reckon with its history of White supremacy, racism, and colonialism, the symposium sought to guide the future of social work towards confronting these issues. So, where do we go from here? To advance social work, six actions must be taken: learning from the past; acknowledging past atrocities against BIPOC communities; addressing Whiteness, racism, and colonialism concurrently; creating meaningful reform or engaging in abolition; teaching an inclusive social work history; and re-engaging historical research methods. By focusing on these six areas, social work can dismantle White supremacy, racism, and colonialization, and work towards a future that supports and uplifts BIPOC communities. The success of this effort depends on individual commitment to change and the willingness to listen and learn from diverse voices within the profession’s past. As we move forward, it is crucial to recognize the importance of this symposium and the potential for meaningful change. By actively engaging with the lessons presented and taking concrete action, social work can contribute to a more just and equitable society, ensuring that the ripple of change generated from the symposium extends far into the future. Ultimately, the answer to the question “where do we go from here?” lies within each participant’s dedication to implementing the knowledge and insights gained from the SWWSRJ symposium.
Wreckonomics 101
Authors: Andersson Ruben , Keen David 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter gives the academic background to the approach in Wreckonomics. It delineates a form of political systems analysis that combines elements of political economy and systems theory in investigating powerful and damaging systems of intervention. It proceeds to delineate five systemic mechanisms that come together in a destructive yet gainful manner in various war and security systems. The first mechanism is the political fixation on a threat and its ostensible solution. This war fix interacts with the complex rigging of both solution and threat by a range of actors, the export of the costs of fighting it, the cascade of chaotic consequences that ensue from this distribution of costs and benefits, and the knowledge-fixing through which this destructive process is misrepresented to the benefit of its instigators. These elements are not simply sequential but interact in complex systemic ways.
A Life of Its Own
Authors: Andersson Ruben , Keen David 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the global war on terror. Looking at four real wars that evolved in the context of the war on terror, the chapter argues that the expansionary logic of the terror threat allowed for major gaming and benefits-chasing at a proliferating scale, moving from the heart of the global war on terror (Afghanistan) to its fringes (Sri Lanka and Syria) and on to one important site in the war’s long tail (Mali). The chapter relates this expansionary tendency to our systems mechanisms of fixation and gaming, showing how many local and national actors stood to benefit from tapping into the “war system.” As a consequence, both costs and games cascaded globally, in a parallel to processes identified in the Cold War system.
Introduction
Authors: Seamone Evan R. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This introduction provides context for the volume. On balance, the fifteen essays in this volume approach the topic of the uncounted psychological costs of war from an interdisciplinary perspective. While the true magnitude of related costs is yet to be fully realized, the diverse perspectives in each part shed important light on the definition, identification, measurement, and mitigation of unique combat-related mental health conditions. Mitigation of these risks may very well require an interdisciplinary team, including military policymakers, surgeons general of the Armed Forces, public health practitioners, psychologists, philosophers, and Veterans Affairs, to work together in codifying these sub-diagnostic conditions into formally recognized mental health disorders out of necessity, just as they did decades ago with the formal recognition of the sub-diagnostic condition of post-Vietnam syndrome.
