  Leading While Black - The...

  The American workplace exhibits a growing imbalance when it comes to human identity. Leaders are frequently defined in the absence of their critical social identifiers, but the exclusion of these identifiers is a mistake and ignores essential physical, cultural, and spiritual realities. Their exclusion is especially problematic for leaders of the Black identity and the Christian faith. Color-blind ideology harms people of color, while religion-blind systems damage people of faith, and both are especially problematic for individuals who reckon with both realities. 
   
   
   
  Rather than abandoning an individual's social identities, the ones we choose and the ones we do not, Leading While Black draws on the lived experiences of executive-level leaders of the Christian faith and Black identity, and offers a testament to the power of a living God in the social fabric of public life. Instead of ignoring the narrative arc of social identities and the weight they carry when considering an individual's conception of leadership, Torrance Jones leans into the value of those identities and asserts their integral importance for Black leaders and for those who work with and for Black voices.

  Ends makes a compelling case that demonstrates how, over centuries, our changing relationship with death has led to the loss of our relationship with endings. Giving rise to guilt-free consumers, an overly-blamed business sector and a society which finds itself at a loss when it needs to grapple with responsibility. 
  Drawing on a plethora of sources in history, sociology, psychology and industry, Ends argues that we are taking the wrong approach to challenging the impact of consumption and that we need to create coherent endings in our product, service and digital experiences to rebalance this.

  From Pessimism To Promise -...

  When it comes to technology, mainstream headlines are bleak: Algorithms control and oppress. AI will destroy democracy and our social fabric, and possibly even drive us to extinction. 
  While these concerns are legitimate, we need to equally account for the fact that technology affords young people something incredibly valuable: a rare space for self-actualization. In From Pessimism to Promise, award-winning author Payal Arora explains that outside the West, where most of the world's youth reside, there is a significantly different outlook on technology. In fact, there is a contagion of optimism for all things digital. Drawing on field insights in diverse global contexts such as Brazil, India and Bangladesh, Arora describes what drives Gen Z to embrace new technologies. 
  From Pessimism to Promise discusses the shift to relationally driven approaches to design; how to create 'algorithms of aspiration'; how to reimagine the digital space for sex, pleasure and care; and what we can learn from feminist digital activists and women's collectives in the Global South on shared digital provenance and value, as well as indigenous approaches to sustainability, which challenge sacred ideas on degrowth, and the circular economy. Arora also takes heart in the power of numbers, as users from the majority world infuse algorithms with everyday aspirations, pushing for a new digital order. 
  Timely and urgent, From Pessimism to Promise makes a deeply compelling case that it is not naive to be optimistic about our digital future. On the contrary, it is our moral imperative to design with hope.
