Nancy ErbeNancy Erbe, professor of Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding (NCRP), co-edited the book “Preventing and Reducing Violence in Schools and Society,” a collection of innovative research on the evolution and implementation of nonviolence concepts within social settings in order to prevent oppression and violence among global communities. The book explores the effective diffusion of violence through masterful negotiation and mediation skills, as well as mentoring, counseling, and related processes. The book includes CSUDH Alumni Luca Dal Pubel, who wrote “Resolving Conflicts and Preventing Violence in Italian Schools,” and Giuseppina Wright, who contributed “How to Create a Sustainable Nonviolence Curriculum in Public Schools in Sweden: A Case Study.” Anthony Normore, CSUDH professor emeritus of School Leadership in Graduate Education, and Brian Jarrett, professor and NCRP department chair  wrote “Restorative Approaches to Honoring Human Dignity and Transforming Urban Schools.”

Recent quotes and/or interviews in the media from faculty

Larry Rosen“Group emails, while helpful for team collaboration, are an increasingly problematic workplace distraction. After the second or third ‘reply all’—when most messages could be directed to just one or two people, rather than everyone—these chains to start to feel oppressive, adding extraneous content to our already overflowing inboxes.” —Larry Rosen, professor emeritus of psychology, was quoted in the eatthis.com article “One Major side Effect of Staring at Your Phone Too Much, Says New Study.”

 

 

Larry Press“Collision avoidance appears to me to be the largest (non-business) mega-constellation hurdle.  Minimizing collisions would require international information sharing and collaboration amongst each civilian and army satellite TV for PC operators, and I don’t see a path to that cooperation.” —Larry Press, professor of information systems. He was interviewed for the Pirate Press article “Critics take aim at Starlink and Kuiper broadband satellites.”

 

 

Sanol Singhal, assistant professor of Biology, was featured in a Knowable Magazine Q&A titled “The weird biology of asexual lizards.” The interview explores all-female species to see what they might reveal about the pros and cons of sex.
