Become the Architect of Your Own Emotions
Authors: Smith Dina Denham , Grandey Alicia A. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter overturns the belief that emotions are an automatic and fixed response to the environment and replaces it with a more up-to-date perspective based on scientific evidence. This modern view sees emotions as social constructions, built from a combination of your current mood, appraisals, situational context, and availability of emotion words. The chapter focuses on how leaders can use these four building blocks to construct emotions: developing awareness of internal states and more nuanced appraisals of events, assessing context (who/what/where/when), and learning more emotional labels for how one feels. The significance of emotional granularity and differentiation by developing a richer emotional vocabulary is highlighted. Strategies for expanding emotional vocabulary are offered. Overall, this chapter presents a new lens for thinking about emotions that provides a sense of control and confidence for managing emotions in the leadership role.
Keep Your Engine Running Smoothly
Authors: Smith Dina Denham , Grandey Alicia A. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
A significant portion of leaders report feelings of overload and exhaustion—which can impair performance, creating more stress. Drawing on extensive research, this chapter presents the stress spiral and a compelling argument for why it occurs: the recovery paradox, a phenomenon whereby when you most need to recover, you are least likely to do so. Explanations for this paradox include societal norms, dopamine motivating productivity and progress, the power of habit, and the knowing-doing gap. Leaders must DARE to prioritize recovery to ensure their health and effectiveness. DARE indicates four essential recovery experiences: detachment from work, autonomous choice, relaxed state, and engagement in personal growth. The four big-needle movers of healthy nutrition, sleep, exercise, and social connection may be challenging for leaders but are also critical for ensuring they are ready for the emotional demands of the job.
Become a BRAVE Leader
Authors: Smith Dina Denham , Grandey Alicia A. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In the workplace, emotionally charged events are typically characterized by novelty, criticality, unpredictability, and uncontrollability, demanding that people respond in new and adaptive ways. The connections between events and reactions are not fixed, but influenced by personal tendencies (i.e., personality), job features (i.e., frequent interaction with people), and how well you regulate yourself in the moment. This chapter provides evidence and strategies for leaders to navigate emotional events, introducing the five-step BRAVE framework. These steps are: breathe to reduce bodily arousal, recognize your physiological response, accept your emotions without judgment, verbalize the emotional label to yourself or others, and engage with intention). Readers will learn how to tune into their physical sensations; recognize, verbalize, and nonjudgmentally accept their emotions; and engage in perspective-taking techniques to respond thoughtfully to triggers.
Leading With Humanity in the Digital Age
Authors: Smith Dina Denham , Grandey Alicia A. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter delves into the intricate balance required of leaders in the digital age, where human emotions and interactions must coexist with advanced technologies. The chapter highlights three core tensions arising from integrating technology in the workplace that leaders must now manage. These tensions include relief from mundane tasks but increased fear of job insecurity; the ease of connecting virtually coupled with increased feelings of isolation and loneliness; and the personal freedoms created by remote work technologies and the stress of being “always-on.” These tensions create new emotional demands on leaders and require advanced emotional skills. This chapter offers leaders ways to address employees’ fears and exhaustion related to technology and guidance on expressing emotions effectively in virtual communication. Finally, it explores how to leverage technology to regulate emotions, mitigate stress, and foster positive outcomes for themselves and their teams.
Watchdogs in the Digital Age: Digital Surveillance, Information Security, and the Evolution of Journalist-Confidential Source Relationships
Authors: Dwyer Deborah L. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Research and industry reports suggest that national security concerns, advances in surveillance technologies, rising public interest in data privacy, and increased legal risks for sources engaging with the press pose a unique threat to the American news media. This rising pressure comes at a time when government criticism of the media is at historic highs and public trust is at an all-time low. This chapter focuses on a specific aspect of the intersection of journalism and national security: the journalist-confidential source relationship and the hazards government surveillance poses to the watchdog function of the news media. As information brokers and gatekeepers, journalists must protect confidential information and those made vulnerable by providing it. This makes news workers and their sources a likely target of surveillance by the government and other powerful entities. After an introduction to the problem, this chapter summarizes several incidents of journalist surveillance and information security breaches in the face of rising tensions between the news media and the American government. It then examines the critical role confidentiality plays in the journalist-source relationship and the challenges information security practices create for the news media. Subsequently, findings from prior research inform an understanding of the security challenges cited by working journalists. Lastly, the chapter offers a list of considerations to bolster both future academic inquiry and industry practices as information security tensions, challenges, and capabilities continue to evolve and mature.
Charging Journalists under the Espionage Act: Have We Reached a Tipping Point?
Authors: Pollack Barry J. , Fleming Brian J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In an effort to determine whether we have reached a tipping point that could lead to the prosecution of a journalist under the Espionage Act, this chapter first examines two cases from the Barack Obama administration—one that typifies the more aggressive approach of the Justice Department during President Obama’s first term (United States v. Stephen Kim) and one that illustrates the somewhat more restrained approach taken during Obama’s second term (United States v. Jeffrey Sterling). Next, we examine public statements by former President Donald Trump and senior administration officials to assess whether threats lobbed at the news media—both explicit and implicit—should be taken seriously or disregarded as mere rhetoric. Finally, we look holistically at the recent cases, the political climate, the legal and structural impediments to charging journalists for conduct related to their newsgathering and reporting activities, and certain external factors that could ultimately determine whether this hypothetical scenario ever becomes reality.
Digital Shackles: The Political Economy of Surveillance Technologies and the Emergence of Transnational Surveillance Fascism
Authors: Henrichsen Jennifer R. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The use of spyware against journalists is becoming ubiquitous and pervasive in many countries around the world as states strive to control information and as technologies used to surveil civilians become more sophisticated and inexpensive. This confluence of factors is creating a new reality for activists and journalists in many countries globally as they seek to mobilize or hold powerful interests to account. The creation and sale of sophisticated surveillance systems by companies in Western democracies to authoritarian regimes further facilitates this asymmetrical power dynamic between states and their citizens. Yet there has been limited examination of the political economy of surveillance technologies, which are often created in democratic countries and sold to authoritarian regimes that use them to suppress dissent or critical journalism. This chapter examines the companies that create spyware technologies and sell them to the Bahraini government, which has and continues to use these technologies to target journalists and activists. The findings will shed light on the shrouded political economy of surveillance technologies and the implications these technologies have for human rights and journalism. Ultimately, this chapter argues that close cooperation between the state and corporations in the development and sale of surveillance technologies contributes to an emerging phenomenon of transnational surveillance fascism.
Enemies Foreign and Domestic: America’s Media Ecosystem and the Externalization of Domestic Threats
Authors: Fuller Christopher J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Russian information warfare is not new. The state has long employed such techniques, first domestically to influence individuals and shape narratives, and eventually outside of its borders. Yet throughout the Cold War, the Kremlin’s propaganda campaigns proved ineffective. Changes in technology have provided Russia’s agents with new avenues, but the central principles remained unchanged. This begs the question: If the Kremlin’s foreign propaganda methods have barely changed since the Cold War, what has made them so effective now? The answer is that the United States has become more vulnerable. This chapter reveals how shifts in the domestic political landscape, developments in the digital space, and changes in the media ecosystem amplified the power of traditional Russian information warfare while simultaneously increasing the United States’ vulnerability to such nefarious tactics.
Weaponizing Images
Authors: Moeller Susan D. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Visual content is coming to dominate social media platforms, especially on mobile devices. Users engage more meaningfully with photos, video, and graphics than with other forms of media, and only a minimal encounter with them is needed for their impact to be felt. The lesson in these observations—for terrorists, for technology companies, and for public policy experts alike—is self-evident: seeing matters. What we see and how we see have become preoccupations over the last several decades—among neuroscientists interested in unraveling the secrets of the brain, philosophers interested in unpacking the inclinations of the mind, entrepreneurs interested in monetizing how we construct our visual identity, art historians interested in changing presentations of the self, and journalists interested in using visual technologies to bring scenes of the world, cross-platform, to their audiences. Yet the question of why seeing matters has been neglected, perhaps because the answer has seemed self-evident. The dramatic turn toward visual communication has had extraordinary personal, economic, and political implications. The “why” does matter—a lot. And now, more than ever, because of the confluence and implications of two facts: (1) seeing is becoming the way the world chooses to transfer information, via tools/apps/platforms that are increasingly visual, and (2) seeing still remains—even in our manipulated world—a linguistic synonym for knowledge and understanding.
Women and War
Authors: Giri Keshab 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter discusses the dominant narratives of victimhood and agency regarding women engaged in political violence. It then turns to the everyday to highlight how the intersectional everyday experiences in both public and private spheres can be a productive way to explore complex experiences of female combatants. Prevailing narratives of victimhood in earlier scholarship have been moderated by scholarship in the last decade that demonstrates the diverse and complex roles women play in war. Yet there is a greater ambivalence, hesitancy, silence, discomfort, anxiety, and even anger among some feminist scholarship on the experiences of female combatants in rebel groups constituting multiple or further forms of victimization and marginalization. This chapter proposes that everyday experiences conditioned by intersectional social subjectivities and identity of female combatants are a rich avenue of thinking about “complexes” and “continua of violence” beyond a binary framework of victimhood and agency.
Male Researcher Doing Feminist Fieldwork in the Global South
Authors: Giri Keshab 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
How does an intersectional identity of a research shape the research? While the other chapters explore the experiences of women ex-combatants shaped by their intersectional identities, this chapter focuses on how my intersectional identity shapes my research on the women ex-combatants. I explore theoretical and political debates in feminist research leading to epistemological and methodological concerns originating from being a male researcher in the Global South. I argue that while gender is a primary concern for male researchers conducting research on women, there are other overlapping identities and axes of power that interact with gender to create complex power dynamics to influence both the research process and outcome. The chapter proposes that critical self-reflexivity with honesty on limitations and partiality of research, situated knowledge, positionality, and power, including ethics of care, moral responsibility, and reciprocity as key considerations to establishing personal accountability in knowledge production for the male researcher engaging in feminist research.
Meaningful Economics
Authors: Wilson Bart J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Economics has a problem. It cannot distinguish the causes of human action from the consequences of human action. It models representations of optimal agents, not flesh-and-blood human beings in ordinary life. Meaningful Economics is about understanding the principles of economics—the exchange of goods and services, the specialization that trade makes possible, and the system of property that undergirds both—in their origins and outcomes rather than exclusively in their consequences. It explains the roots of conduct, and not merely its economic effects, by going to the human capacity for moral sentiments that prompt human beings to act. The book is about what makes meaningfulness the very core of economics. You read that correctly. Meaning and value and purpose have everything to do with traditional talk of economics. Economic science, including, behavioral economics, unintentionally, proceeds as if the human mind does not matter. The origins of our actions—ideas—do indeed matter. They make us human. They make us beings who imagine our futures and who use language to achieve what we wish for. Economics and ethics are, in fact, two sides of the same coin, and, moreover, we can study both sides at the same time. We can study the costs and benefits of our decisions and our motives and goals in an integrated, humanly way. The book builds a science of economics that retains the human mind.
Human Conduct Is a Challenge to Study
Authors: Wilson Bart J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
From the political philosopher Michael Oakeshott, we learn the challenges of understanding conduct as intelligent human action. Human beings do not choose satisfactions or outcomes. Human beings choose actions with specific meanings that cannot be reduced to outcomes or bare physical facts. We understand each other by predicating actions on five abstract concepts: feel, think, know, want, and don’t want. Linguists say that every language has a word for each of these mental concepts, and, moreover, these words mean precisely the same thing in every language. When we act, we do so, or fail to do so, in a way set forth by the customs of the people around us and handed down to us. An individual carries out an action in the company of other people.
Because There Are Four Ways to Explain Why We Do What We Do
Authors: Wilson Bart J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Following the evolutionary biologist and geneticist David Haig, we repurpose for economics Aristotle’s four ways to answer a question of why?: the material, the formal, the efficient, and the final cause. These causes provide one approach to dissolve a fundamental tension between molecular genetics and evolutionary biology; that is, they show how both material genes and the function of a trait can serve as explanations in biological evolution. In this chapter I focus on how we can analogously apply biological genotypes, phenotypes, and evolution to our study of ideational genotypes, phenotypes, and evolution in human customs. Time and history dissolve the two-way causation problem of a moral sentiment and a custom.
The Mind Creates Human Customs
Authors: Wilson Bart J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
From the philosopher John Searle, we learn how mind and language create distinctly human customs. We use language to describe how things are in the world, as, for example, when I say, “X is green.” And we use language to change things in the world, as when I say, “I promise to do Y,” and people now believe that I will do Y. But amazingly, we further use language to do both things at the same time, as when an officiant says, “I pronounce you married.” With such an utterance, the officiant simultaneously describes the world as it is and changes the world in the minds of everyone present. Human conduct in the principles of economics rests on the marvelous work that language does in the world.
Materials Alone Can’t Enrich Us; Ideas Plus Materials Can
Authors: Wilson Bart J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The dominant question in economics is how?, which prioritizes mechanisms and processes in resource allocation and which overlooks the deeper “why” questions about human action and its origins. This chapter contrasts the materialistic and process-oriented approaches of economic historians with Deirdre McCloskey’s perspective, which explains modern wealth with liberal values and bourgeois equality. I argue that McCloskey’s project is an example of using formal and final causes to explain the innovation and economic growth of the modern world. The book concludes with the question of questions that guides my inquiries in economic science.
Epilogue
Authors: Norðfjörð Björn 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Epilogue discusses the four paradigms that are the defining characteristics of contemporary Icelandic cinema: local filmmaking informed by a national address, art cinema intended for the international film festival circuit, genre cinema influenced by Hollywood, and, finally, foreign runaway productions. In bringing the history of Icelandic cinema up to the present day, the Epilogue considers how the films of the early 2020s are shaped and formed by these paradigms. Additionally, a close analysis of Lamb (Valdimar Jóhannsson, 2021, Dýrið) and Godland (Hlynur Pálmason, 2022, Volaða land/Vanskabte Land) draws attention to how Icelandic cinema is increasingly manifesting an awareness of its own past as filmmakers look to older Icelandic films and other cultural traditions for inspiration.
Two Souths or One?
Authors: Jones Bryan D. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter explains the vast differences between two home counties of the author’s ancestors. Blount was a poor mountain county settled by small farmers and craftsmen, mostly of Scots and Scots-Irish descent. Sumter was in the Black Belt, where the soil was rich and slavery and plantations flourished. In Sumter, oligarchy thrived; in Blount, democracy thrived, and the uplanders there were capable of rising up against the ruling plantation oligarchs in Sumter and the Black Belt. The chapter explores the large differences between the two conceptions of governance—oligarchy versus democracy—and how they followed geography.
Plantation Politics
Authors: Jones Bryan D. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
James Powell Carr moved to Sumter County at the middle of the 19th century, bringing his slaves. He was representative of the small-time planters who supported oligarchical government that characterized the slaveholding South. During the Civil War he signed up with a Confederate partisan ranger regiment, basically a unit that raided Union supply lines and known Union supporters without military supervision. Much of the Carr wealth was lost because of Emancipation, but James Powell, like most plantation owners, reestablished a considerable amount of it. After the war he worked as an election official in which role he either engaged in fraud or watched as it happened. The stealing of Black votes in Sumter County was rampant, and Powell Carr engaged in it.
The Two Faces of Brother Charley Jones
Authors: Jones Bryan D. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
All theories of Southern politics that see an oligarchic ruling system also postulate a follower class, the “common man.” Observers have depicted these men and women as part of a hierarchical society in which leadership had once been a “moral right” of the rich and entitled. The author’s ancestors, the Joneses, represent the common white men and women of the Wiregrass, but politics was but a sideshow to them. The chapter shows that there was nothing of the genuflecting to a revered upper class in the Joneses, although they did not challenge the ruling class by participating in the Populist uprising. Rather they were consumed by religion, prohibition, and earning a living. They seemed to have been networked into the Bourbon faction through friendship and war remembrances rather than through ideology or deference. Around 1816, small-time South Carolina planter, slaveholder, and the author’s fourth great-grandfather, Charles S.V. Jones, got out of the business, gave up his slaves, and went out into the wilderness to preach the Gospel. Charley joined the mobile and open nation created in the wake of two great social movements: the Second Great Awakening and Jacksonian Democracy.
Charles Cade Jones Goes to War
Authors: Jones Bryan D. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
On July 3, 1861, at the urging of recruiters, Brother Charley Jones’s grandson and the author’s great-grandfather Charles Cade Jones, a small-town carpenter, enlisted as a private in Company E of the 15th Alabama Infantry. He held no slaves nor did he own any property. Of the 84 enlistees in Company E, only five were from slaveholding families. Charley was grievously wounded, yet stuck with his company until it surrendered with Lee at Appomattox. Looked at through a class lens, Charley’s behavior is puzzling. This chapter traces Charles Cade Jones’ tribulations in war and the myths passed down through the author’s grandparents about his experiences in one of the most famous regiments in the Confederate army.
Three Southern Editors
Authors: Jones Bryan D. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In the late 1940s, three young men took over as publishers or editors of three daily newspapers in Alabama. Buford Boone of the Tuscaloosa News, Grover Hall Jr. of the Montgomery Advertiser, and Glenn Jones, the author’s father, of the Troy Messenger. All held their positions throughout the intense flames of the civil rights movement and the brutal white backlash that buffeted their newspapers. All called themselves moderates. In the late 1940s, two, Boone and my father, excoriated the resurgent Klan while Hall sent a mixed but mostly anti-Klan message. All faced increasing pressures steming from the Supreme Court’s decisions on desegregation.
