Published with colleagues two issues of JSRI’s research newsletter NEXO. One featured articles on social capital motives in the adoption of appropriate technology by Latino farmers and on access to farmworker labor camps by service providers [NEXO, 2021, 21 (1)]. The other featured articles on Latino population growth in the Midwest and in Michigan and on Latinos and the banking system [NEXO, 2022, 21 (2)]. Edited and published with A. Aguirre a special issue of Social Justice titled “Neoliberalism in Higher Education: Policies, Practices, and Issues.” Social Justice, 48 (2). This has relevance for Latinos and higher education. Published a review of the book The Plot to Change America,” a rightwing critique of progressive policies that benefit Latinos and other minorities. My assessment that it was a libertarian political diatribe masquerading as a scholarly work (NEXO, 26 (2): 4.). Generated datasets and preliminary data on the role of social capital motives and the adoption of technology among Latino farmers in Southwest Michigan. Activities: Supported colleagues in the delivery of a bilingual two-course sequence on Farm Management via Zoom, which brought in farmers from other states as participants. There were 18 participants total.
Delivered a presentation titled “Leading in a Diverse Society” to senior administrators and trustees of credit unions on April 23, 2022 at the Spring Leadership Development Conference of the Michigan Credit League and Affiliates. There were approximately 50 participants. | |||
