Can COVID-19 Help Save the World?
Authors: Wójcik Adrian D. , Cypryańska Marzena 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the challenges and opportunities for climate change mitigation that arise from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Economic and business experts agree that the current crisis provides a unique opportunity for a large-scale green transformation. In order to restart the economy in a more progressive and green manner, it is necessary to understand the dynamics of group behavior and how social crises disrupt habitual (and often unsustainable) behaviors. How the present pandemic crisis influences individual lifestyles, attitudes, beliefs, and needs will play important roles in future green transformation. This chapter relies on principles from conservation psychology to explain (1) how social crises transform everyday behaviors, needs, and beliefs about the future; (2) how changes in everyday behaviors can be affected by social context (e.g., social norms); (3) the ways such social changes can be used to promote a more sustainable future; and (4) the mechanisms that contribute to sustaining individual behavioral changes (e.g., ecological identity, collective action). Future research ideas are offered.
From Threats to Defenses
Authors: Willardt Robin , Jutzi Chiara A. , Schmid Petra C. , Jonas Eva 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a multidimensional and complex event. Hence, it can easily seem overwhelming to conduct empirical and theory-driven research on the psychological phenomena associated with the pandemic. Building on the general process model of threat and defense (GPMTD), we suggest that many of these phenomena can be explained through psychological threats such as a lack of control, uncertainty, and mortality salience unearthed by the pandemic. The GPMTD allows testing the general role of these threats implicated in COVID-19 as well their potential interplay and differences in causing psychological phenomena associated with the pandemic. Doing so requires researchers to test effects between a variety of threat-related, mediating, and dependent variables, which is why we recommend structural equation modeling (SEM) to serve as the statistical tool of choice. After explaining the suitability and application of SEM for investigating global and individual threat effects of COVID-19, the chapter closes with suggestions and recommendations for future research to map and disentangle COVID-19’s threats and the psychological phenomena they cause.
Moving Past the Pandemic
Authors: Miller Monica K. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses a variety of ways in which social science played a part in the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic had an undeniable effect on nearly every aspect of life, which resulted in social scientists studying relevant behaviors, beliefs, and events. Moreover, social psychological theories have provided a helpful foundation for such study and analysis. The chapter explores the themes of experiences of resilience and positivity, trust in authorities like health care providers and government leaders, and future directions for research and policy. It also details how the pandemic affected the physical well-being of those who contracted the virus, their families, societies, and economics.
Status and Social Media
Authors: Boy John D. , Uitermark Justus 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter rethinks social media through Instagram. Whereas many theorists have conceptualized social media as sites for exchanging opinions, we view social media as stages for status displays. Arguing that Norbert Elias’s classic analysis of the court society offers a more productive theoretical model than Jürgen Habermas’s influential notion of the public sphere, we conceive of social media as stratified systems of rank in which users put themselves on display and monitor others. As social media are woven into the fabric of everyday life, they generalize the status competition that Alice Marwick identified as a defining feature of social media.
Integration and Conformity
Authors: Boy John D. , Uitermark Justus 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Do social media promote polarization and segregation? This chapter addresses this question through a computational analysis of more than seven hundred thousand Instagram posts from Amsterdam. We locate Instagram users in social media networks, and we also examine their position within the city. While we find some evidence that users form clusters, what stands out is that Instagram networks are tightly integrated. Supplementing our computational analysis with interviews and observations, we show that some places benefit from increased visibility and go to great lengths to invite it, while for others Instagram-powered integration can be an existential risk. There may be tendencies toward polarization, even on Instagram, but there are also powerful pressures toward conformity that render countercultures precarious.
Administrative Tools of Harm
Authors: Bonnes Stephanie 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In this chapter the author examines the centrality of bureaucracy in servicewomen’s harassment experiences. This chapter explains how military policies addressing harassment and assault in themselves are not sufficient to combat the issue and shows how the femmephobic and hyper-masculine culture of the military seeps into the military’s administrative polices. “Bureaucratic harassment” is defined as the purposeful manipulation of legitimate administrative policies and procedures, perpetrated by individuals who hold institutional power over others, to undermine colleagues’ professional experiences and careers. The tactics used to accomplish bureaucratic harassment are explained, as well as how it is used to achieve sexual and racial harassment or to prevent reporting of sexual violence. This form of harassment can be used to limit individual women and women as groups and is enabled by military features such as discretion, power, and hierarchy interacting with gendered workplace assumptions. Bureaucratic harassment can also be used to continue the effects of banned policies like excluding women from combat. It also renders ineffective the policies designed to help victims of sexual harm. Finally, the policies themselves are used as tools of harassment and ostracization.
The Need for Cultural and Contextual Change
Authors: Bonnes Stephanie 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This final chapter provides an overview of the arguments in the book and shows how the femmephobic and hyper-masculine military culture creates and sustains sexual violence vulnerability for servicewomen. The author argues that policies at the organizational level will not be effective at combating sexual violence because misogyny adapts to these policies. Changes that can be made to combat sexual violence vulnerability at the interactional level are discussed. According to the author, the military should infuse messages of sexual safety into its training, values, and goals, which will encourage servicemembers to protect one another from sexual harm in interaction. Pervasive sexual harassment and assault constitute a difficult, arduous environment for servicewomen.
Introduction
Authors: Glennon Michael J. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter describes Oliver Wendell Holmes’s arrival in Concord in 1865 to visit Ralph Waldo Emerson, a family friend and prominent intellectual. Holmes had been badly wounded in the Civil War and had just been mustered out of the Union army. He had earlier been quite taken with Emerson’s philosophy of transcendentalism, a social-political movement which taught that truth is universal and absolute. Holmes came to doubt this, however, and to believe that absolute certainty leads to the sort of bloodletting he had just survived. His skepticism led later, as a justice of the Supreme Court, to his proposing the marketplace of ideas as a justification for protecting speech. The chapter then lays out more fully the three parts of the book to come. The first describes how Holmes moved from moral absolutism to a pragmatist respect for the free exchange of ideas. The second part describes how that concept is reflected in three distinctive realms of First Amendment law: advocacy of law violation, hate speech, and disinformation. And the third suggests that the Amendment’s accepted scope must be broadened to vindicate that vision.
Prophet and Disciple
Authors: Glennon Michael J. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This brief chapter describes the influence of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s transcendentalism on the young Oliver Wendell Holmes. It describes Emerson’s early career and fervid opposition to slavery and support for John Brown. It recounts how Holmes’s early writings as a Harvard student mirrored Emerson’s essays. Emerson’s influence appeared to impel Holmes to drop out of Harvard to enlist in the Union Army—carrying with him Emerson’s cherished autograph.
“Negro Spiritual”
Authors: Olwage Grant 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 2 interrogates the dominant discursive formation of Robeson as Black subject in his singing of spirituals in the 1920s, tackling the much-debated musicological trope of authenticity, and showing how Robeson’s voice in its first public soundings was structured by race in different ways. Robeson’s singing is situated in a network of voices (including Black popular vocal practices) and the discussion rooted in sound: in Robeson’s practice, but also in that of Robeson’s model the tenor Roland Hayes and his accompanist Lawrence Brown. The chapter considers recital programming, singing voices, and the practices of written and performative arranging of Black folk song as concert music. What the varied fantasies about Robeson’s singing of spirituals show is that already in the early years of his concert career Robeson’s voice challenged racial identity, aesthetics, and song practices.
Natural Acts, or To Sing Simply
Authors: Olwage Grant 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The third chapter considers the singer as subject of criticism, as reported in the pages of the contemporary popular press in the 1920s and 1930s, exploring how the idea of “nature” was deployed in Robeson’s reception. Nature is one of the most potent signs by which the racial subject has been constructed, but the chapter shows how Robeson’s natural singing was an aesthetic choice, a consciously worked-on style of singing, plurally fashioned through Robeson’s classical training and his remembrance and practice of Black folk and popular musics. The chapter “dissects” Robeson’s voice, presenting an anatomy of his singing through close listening and computational analysis of the sonic matter of his voice. In doing so it highlights the materiality of the voice and singing as an embodied act.
Glad We Met
Authors: Rogelberg Steven G. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
There are an estimated 200–500 million 1:1 meetings held each day around the world. Glad we Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings brings new and strategic insight to help us maximize the potential of these crucial conversations. 1:1s are arguably one of the most critical meeting types for the success of team members, managers, coaches, teams, and organizations. The best managers recognize that 1:1s are not an add-on to their role as a manager, conducting 1:1s successfully ARE foundational to being a manager. At the same time, these meetings fundamentally influence a direct report’s experience at work, including how they engage and attach to their role, perceive the effectiveness of their manager, and envision their future at the organization. Topics covered include: Why effective 1:1s are critical to your success and the success of your team; Messaging and positioning 1:1s for maximum value; Finding the correct 1:1 cadence and meeting length to maximize positive impact without over-meeting; Managing the intricate balance of productivity-building, relationship-building, and employee development; Designing 1:1s with intentionality, from where to conduct the meeting to building agendas to optimize effectiveness; Acting as leader coach and leveraging key skills around facilitation, listening, and feedback-giving; How to personalize your 1:1 approach to fit you and your direct reports—one size does not fit all.
Won’t Team Members Be Fearful of 1:1s?
Authors: Rogelberg Steven G. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 2 highlights the importance of excellent communication and framing when implementing a new 1:1 initiative. Without adequate communication, team members will make assumptions that can lead to misinformation and unjustified anxiety, and angst. Since messages can get distorted when transmitted informally from person to person, communicating directly with team members is key before scheduling 1:1s to ensure the “whys” and “hows” are clear. The chapter also covers how to respond to common questions from team members, such as how optional a meeting is and the expectations regarding the meeting. It notes that managers must encourage their directs to ask questions.
How Should I Schedule 1:1s—Same Day, Clustered, or Spread Out?
Authors: Rogelberg Steven G. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 discusses how to schedule 1:1 meetings. It looks into research on flow state being associated with feelings of productivity, satisfaction, and happiness at work and high-quality work. Meanwhile, a lack of flow state experiences was often related to negative outcomes. Thus, meetings can be scheduled in a manner that works to maximize the chances of a flow state and also decrease interruptions. The chapter highlights the advantages and disadvantages of clustering or scattering meetings during a work day. It also considers how to cancel 1:1 meetings properly, citing that the meeting must be rescheduled near the original date as soon as possible.
Did the 1:1 Work?
Authors: Rogelberg Steven G. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 13 focuses on strategies for figuring out the effectiveness of your 1:1 meetings. First, it is important to recognize that our personal general impressions of the 1:1s we lead may be skewed to the overly positive side. Strategies are shared to garner a more accurate sense of 1:1 effectiveness. This includes focusing on specific behaviors done or not done. Most substantively, strategies for gaining feedback from directs are discussed. The chapter then highlights how various lagging indicators could help see the long-term success of 1:1 meetings and their effectiveness.
I Am Drowning in Meetings. What Do I Do?
Authors: Rogelberg Steven G. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 15 offers advice on streamlining and improving the time in meetings in general to ease any new burden associated with implementing 1:1 meetings with team members. The strategies shared start with what a leader can do in their team to create new norms around when to meet and not meet, who to invite and not invite, and how long the meetings should be. Next, a discussion of pre-meeting, during-the-meeting, and post-meeting tactics are shared designed to increase effectiveness. Finally, it considers a variety of tactics organizations use to reduce the overall number of meetings they have, such as including meeting metrics on engagement surveys. All the approaches together are designed to reduce wasted time, thus allowing for a reinvestment of time in 1:1s.
Final Thoughts—It’s About Values
Authors: Rogelberg Steven G. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 16 highlights how 1:1 meetings embody values. It then looks into how 1:1 meetings serve as a key mechanism for enacting aspirational values and organizational values. The meetings are a critical way to support people, demonstrate leadership abilities, and improve key outcomes for the team and organization. The chapter elaborates that 1:1 meetings are a critical investment in people as it promotes critical outcomes, such as engagement, performance, and retention. It also considers the value statements from well-known organizations to showcase the clear connections of 1:1s as a vehicle to express values.
Voice, Slavery, and Race in Seventeenth-Century Florence
Authors: Wilbourne Emily 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Grounded in new archival research documenting a significant presence of foreign and racially marked individuals in Medici Florence, this book argues for the relevance of such individuals to the history of Western music and for the importance of sound—particularly musical and vocal sound—to systems of racial and ethnic difference. Many of the individuals discussed in these pages were subject to enslavement or conditions of unfree labor; some labored at tasks that were explicitly musical or theatrical, while all intersected with sound and with practices of listening that afforded full personhood only to particular categories of people. Integrating historical detail alongside contemporary performances and musical conventions, this book makes the forceful claim that operatic musical techniques were—from their very inception—imbricated with racialized differences. Voice, Slavery, and Race in Seventeenth-Century Florence offers both a macro and a micro approach to its content. The first half of the volume draws upon a wide range of archival, theatrical, and historical sources to articulate the theoretical interdependence of razza (“race”), voice, and music in early modern Italy; the second half focuses on the life and work of a specific, racially marked individual: the enslaved Black male soprano singer Giovannino Buonaccorsi (fl. 1651–1674). Voice, Slavery, and Race in Seventeenth-Century Florence reframes the place of racial difference in Western art music and provides a compelling prehistory to later racial formulations of the sonic.
Intermezzo Primo
Authors: Wilbourne Emily 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This “intermezzo” section takes a moment away from the central thesis of the book, moving the focus from Florence but remaining in the seventeenth century. Taking the proceeding arguments and case studies from earlier chapters into consideration, the intermezzo reflects on the Venetian singer-composer-courtesan Barbara Strozzi (1619–1677). Her unusual education and career have never been entirely explained by feminist (or non-feminist) scholars of music. Here it is argued that her mother was likely an enslaved domestic servant from eastern Europe, and the extant primary sources are read in a new light. The process sheds light on the imbrication of gender with other social markers, such as race and class.
Buonaccorsi as a Black Gypsy
Authors: Wilbourne Emily 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
A close reading is provided of the role of Moretta, a Black gypsy character played by Giovannino Buonaccorsi in the 1659 opera Il pazzo per forza (libretto by Gio: Andrea Moniglia, music by Jacopo Melani). This rather stereotypical representation of a female gypsy character is contrasted with the gypsy character featured in Buonaccorsi’s surviving poem, “Il sogno di Giovannino Moro.” The stark differences in role, register, and linguistic competence are seen as a moment in which Buonaccorsi’s agency and authorial voice can perhaps be perceived, while the stereotypical aspects of the theatrical character consolidate an understanding of how Black skin was linked to recurring theatrical tropes.
Intermezzo Secondo
Authors: Wilbourne Emily 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Based on the preceding six chapters about Giovannino Buonaccorsi, this “intermezzo” section reinterprets the painting Three Musicians of the Medici Court (ca. 1685) by Anton Domenico Gabbiani. Besides the figures of the three musicians, the portrait includes an unnamed Black child who is holding a parrot. Citing archival sources that link parrots to the practice of singing “Maggio” (a spring ritual), the section argues that the conflation of seasonal (almost pagan) celebrations, rustic (unpolished) music making, people of the lower classes, and the imitative natural noises of the exotic bird coheres with the ways in which Black musical sounds were understood within the Medici court.
Four Ways of Hearing Video Game Music
Authors: Kamp Michiel 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Four Ways of Hearing Video Game Music offers a phenomenological approach to characterize music in video games, drawing on earlier phenomenologies of music as well as studies of music listening in a variety of disciplines such as aesthetics and ecological psychology. The central point of departure is the possibility of multiple ways of hearing the same piece of music: background, aesthetic, ludic, and semiotic hearing. As a background, music is not attended to at all, but can still be described in terms of moods, atmospheres, affordances, or equipment. Aesthetic hearing is a reflective attitude that invites hermeneutic interpretation; ludic hearing on the other hand invites ‘playing along’ to the music, either through embodied movement, or in response to the music’s cinematic or theatrical connotations. Finally, in semiotic hearing we hear music as transparent symbols or signals that that provide information about the state of a game. The four categories are illustrated and investigated through detailed case studies of video games from a variety of eras and genres, building on autoethnographic accounts and gameplay recordings.
Introduction
Authors: Kamp Michiel 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The introduction to this book starts with a case study of the game Hades to illustrate the idiosyncrasies of hearing video game music. Listening to game music is then contrasted with composition and implementation in terms of Jean-Jacques Nattiez’s ‘poiesis’ and ‘aesthesis’ and Michel de Certeau’s ‘strategies’ and ‘tactics,’ before deriving four categories of hearing from the work of Milena Droumeva and theorists of ubiquitous listening. It presents the idea of significance as the central issue all four ways of hearing deal with. The second half of the introduction presents phenomenology as the book’s main approach. Returning at various points to the case study of Hades, it introduces the reader to the phenomenological method and its various incarnations and connections to the study of music.
Background Music
Authors: Kamp Michiel 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The first chapter of the book considers the idea that video game music can often be in the background of players’ perceptions. Through a central case study of music in a match of StarCraft, it approaches background music phenomenologically in several ways: first as a ground in gestalt psychology, then as a mood or atmosphere, as an affordance in James J. Gibson’s ecological psychology, and finally in terms of Martin Heidegger’s idea of ‘equipment.’ Of central concern is the problem of the experience of music that goes ‘unheard’ and the friction between third-person psychological approaches to listening and first-person approaches like phenomenology.
Ludic Music
Authors: Kamp Michiel 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The third chapter of the book contrasts a more dynamic, interactive ludic hearing with the more static, reflective aesthetic hearing. Building on the work of game music scholars Isabella van Elferen, William Cheng, Kiri Miller, and Julianne Grasso, on the one hand, and on Carolyn Abbate’s ‘drastic’ critique of musical hermeneutics on the other, it asks what it is like to experience oneself as playing along to video game music. The chapter proposes a number of case studies to consider the variety of phenomena that are involved in ludic hearing—Proteus and the question of entrainment, Journey and embodiment or ‘inward dancing,’ representations of synaesthesia and glee as an affect in rhythm games like Rez—before concluding with a consideration of ludic affects beyond glee.
