Public engagement and climate change: Exploring the role of hairdressers as everyday influencers
Public engagement has a key role in the social transformations needed to address climate change, one form of which is climate conversations. This research focuses on a widespread and conversational space - hair salons. It engaged with sustainable salons across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland to explore these conversations in two studies. Thirty salon owners/directors were interviewed about hairdressers’ engagement with clients about cl…
Anticipating futures: Understanding the fundamental importance of narratives through an integrative interdisciplinary approach
Businesses, planners and policy makers must make decisions that influence a future about which they have incomplete knowledge. Whilst knowing the future may be illusive, the capacity to adapt as required, is desirable for both organisations and society. We examine what different perspectives can offer, considering how empirical-analytical (e.g., modelling, data), narrative-experiential (e.g., fiction, history, gaming), and socio-technological (e.…
The Leadership Style of Fidel Castro: A Decolonial Perspective
Leadership theory stands accused of being Western-centric. To address this, we investigate Fidel Castro's leadership through 32 semi-structured interviews with Cuban people. Narratives reveal his decolonial leadership as he led the Cuban Revolution, and then Cuba for over 50 years, resisting Western hegemony. Findings problematise the applicability of conceptions of charismatic-transformational leadership (CTL) to non-Western cultures. Benevolent…
Cuban Exceptionalism and Leader Succession: The End of Charismatic Authority in Cuba
This article investigates the leadership succession in Cuba from Fidel Castro, who was widely perceived as a highly charismatic leader, to his younger brother Raúl Castro and then to the civilian President Miguel Díaz-Canel. This leadership succession provides us with an interesting and unusual case study of a successful transfer of authority from one type of leader to another. We examine the narratives of Cuban people through 32 semi-structured …
Storytelling for Sustainability in Higher Education: An Educator’s Handbook
"Storytelling has been rediscovered as a successful pedagogical tool for teaching meaning and purpose in higher education and beyond. This book offers university lecturers the opportunity to use storytelling as part of their pedagogy when introducing concepts around sustainability and sustainable development. Written by academics and storytellers, it is based on personal experience of using stories in teaching. Practical advice in each chapter en…
Towards ecological public health? Cuba’s moral economy of food and agriculture
The concept of moral economy can be applied to all types of economies as they all involve conceptions of the ‘common good’ that determine who gets what, why and how, and who is responsible for this distribution, eg state or private actors. In this paper, we use the concept of moral economy to demonstrate how particular morals and logics shape public health governance in Cuba, comparing these with market liberal contexts. The paper draws from ethn…
Solution-Focused Stories Are More Effective Than Catastrophic Stories in Motivating Proenvironmental Intentions
A key challenge for climate change communication is to find ways to engage the wider public in proenvironmental behaviors and support for climate change mitigation policies, without triggering avoidance or reactive responses. This study reports on the effectiveness of incorporating environmental and climate change themes in short stories. In particular, responses to short stories that have a solution focus were compared with stories that have a c…
The Impact of Constructive News on Affective and Behavioural Responses
The fact that the news has a negativity bias is relatively undisputed. But is this a matter for concern? In this study, two experiments explored the impact of different types of constructive news stories on readers’ affect, motivation, and behavioural intentions. Study 1 examined news stories with either a solution frame or catastrophic frame, and Study 2 examined stories that evoked either positive or negative emotions. Findings revealed that ca…
On Western Bias Against Cuba
The media merry-go-round following the death of Fidel Castro has now come to a halt, and so, six months after his death, it is perhaps a good time to reflect on the Western portrayal of one of the longest serving political leaders in history. Naturally, bearing in mind the history of the imperialist US attitude towards Cuba, and the nationalisation of US property by the Castro government shortly after the revolution, the hostility between the two…
Socially Responsible Enterprise in Cuba: A Positive Role Model for Corporate Social Responsibility
This article examines the unique institutional environment of socialist Cuba, where currently a process of controlled marketisation and expansion of private enterprise is taking place. The article investigates business behaviour in Cuba with particular reference to implicit assumptions relating to socially responsible enterprise, or ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ (CSR) as the term is understood in Western Liberal Democracies. It draws upon a s…
