Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Art sits at the heart of social work and is central to social change. This thesis provides a beginning evidence base for this long held disciplinary view by examining the role of art in social change within communities. A shared history and common ground between art and social work was established using mixed methods within a creative heuristic methodology to define art and its relationship to social work. Inspired by the need identified by Hugh England for a theory of social work which incorporated a theory of art, this thesis redefines art in social work, from a bio-ethological perspective against a list of criteria for art, to suggest social work is art. It distinguishes this from the art of social work, which it locates in practice. Situated within the context of community practice, that is, art in community and arts-based community development, this thesis proposes a model of creative community practice able to accommodate both disciplines. Extensive literature findings were examined empirically to ascertain the effectiveness of art as an intervention through the ‘Safe at Home’ project. This nested study tested the effectiveness of arts-based community development in raising community awareness of and changing attitudes to domestic and family violence within a real-world context, and the implications for practice. This is a unique study in that no empirical research could be found which had been designed to determine if art raises awareness of or changes attitudes to domestic and family violence. Blending art with science, a social intervention research model was used to gather baseline data via a community-wide survey, implement eight art-based interventions using an embedded art practice as research method to collect data, and gather post-intervention data via a neighbourhood survey. Limited to the early phases of the social intervention research process, findings suggest art is not effective in achieving short-term attitudinal change, but establishes a climate conducive to change. The difference between disciplines in community practice centre on ethics and findings support the inclusion of ethics in art education. Findings indicate art is a form of unconscious knowledge which opens the potential for greater understanding of the tacit workings of social work practice.

▼ Consumers often must choose between mutually exclusive products or beliefs related to products, such as to believe or ignore social and environmental causes. Cognitive dissonance (CD) (Festinger, 1957) is a common psychological discomfort that must be resolved, when experienced between inconsistent beliefs, attitudes, or choices. Advertising and marketing promotion to influence consumer decision making often uses celebrity / expert endorsers (Hollensen & Schimmelpfennig, 2013) to improve brand effectiveness and increase sales, yet how endorsements affect consumer attitudes and CD has not been explored. During an attempt to revise models of predicting consumer behavior to include CD measurement (e.g., theory of reasoned action in Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980; theory of planned behavior in Ajzen, 1991) it was noted that attempts to add scales to measure social norms improved model effectiveness. Moreover, attempts to measure CD (e.g., Cassel & Chow, 2002; Elliot & Devine, 1994; Hausknecht, Sweeney, Soutar, & Johnson, 1998; Sakai, 1999; Shultz & Lepper, 1996; and Sweeney, Hausknecht, & Soutar, 2000) did not measure the social context of CD as originally conceived by Festinger to explain illogical behaviors given observable facts such as cigarette smoking and cult activities, etc. After review of the CD phenomenon and its common origins in Lewin (1936, 1951), Osgood and Tannenbaum (1955), Heider (1946, 1958), and Festinger (1954, 1957), it was discovered that CD is a multivariate phenomenon and more complex than existing models of decision making or measurement instruments could accommodate. This dissertation derived a CD instrument with semantic differential scales from congruity theory (Osgood & Tannenbaum, 1955) and balance theory (Heider, 1946, 1958) to measure multivariate CD during attitude change using endorsement by former U.S. Vice President Albert Gore, Jr. of an important social cause: global warming. With a repeated measures procedure, CD was induced using a social comparison referent (SCR) of Mr. Gore for a snowball sample of 567 respondents recruited from online political groups and social media websites. Information about global warming was presented within simulated news headlines to 16 randomly assigned groups of 567 respondents with alternating combinations of positively / negatively toned messages, high credibility / low credibility publications, and domestic-attributed research / foreign-attributed research. The instrument was tested for sensitivity, validity, and reliability. The results indicated that when presented with information in opposition to their original opinion, regardless of their view of the endorser SCR’s opinion, respondents, in this order: 1. Changed their perception of the endorser’s attitude toward global warming (termed social meaning in this dissertation); 2. Changed their view of the value of the endorser’s opinion (i.e., referent meaning); and, lastly, 3. Changed their own opinion on global warming…

▼ Reading Morrison’s fiction at the hand of Bakhtin and Levinas, as well as considering her own non-fiction, led to the conclusion that sufficient evidence exists to argue Morrison’s novels present identity as ethical responsibility that can advocate for a manifesto for positive social change. Analysis focused on the investigation of identity construction in Morrison’s The Bluest Eye (1970), Tar Baby (1981), Paradise (1997), and A Mercy (2008). Through her fiction Morrison can be argued to construct identity in a fashion similar to the philosophies of Bakhtin and Levinas, which present the subject’s identity as an ethical responsibility for the other/Other. Morrison’s non-fiction, such as her Nobel lecture, her academic writing, her social commentary and interviews provide further support to strengthen the aforementioned claim.An investigation into the subject’s identity construction indicates it is always-already in relation to other people. The notions Self, other and Other are thus used throughout this study. The Self, should be understood to refer to the subject, the I. The lower case “other” should be understood as referring to any “other” person who is not the Self, while the capitalised “Other” refers to the marginalised, the binary opposite of the Self. This study is comprised of three components of analysis. The first component concerns the Bakhtinian theory of dialogism. Analysis of the acts of looking, seeing and naming demonstrates the Self’s identity is constructed in relation to the other/Other. The second component of analysis involves viewing the four novels through the Levinasian notions of responsibility and infinity. Revealingly, all four novels deal with the theme of responsibility and stylistically portray a grappling with infinity. Applying the concept of answerability, which functions in the theories of both Levinas and Bakhtin, further demonstrates Morrison’s focus on responsibility as signified by the pariah figures, function of community and her stylistics that invite reader responsibility. The contribution of this study is in having articulated the humanity and commonalities the exploiting and abusing Self shares with the exploited and abused other/Other, in order to demonstrate it is in the Self’s interest to value the other/ Other.

▼ This report is based on an evaluation of the impact of Radio Listening Clubs (RLCs), an initiative of Panos Institute Southern Africa (PSAf), on communities to foster social change. Since dealing with people’s mind set is a complex issue requiring time and organised effort, PSAf’s RLCs initiative has proved to be ideal in propelling target citizens’ benefit from local radio stations and bringing about social change. The report was fed by a study that was undertaken in Mazabuka and Monze districts of Southern Zambia. The study employed questionnaires, interview and focus group discussions, (FGDs) for data collection. It was undertaken with the background of people’s failure to appreciate the link between communication and development. RLCs have worked to turn non-participating communities into active participants. They have mobilised communities, encouraged social networking and have given people a new sense of dignity and value to life. People in rural communities where clubs have been established are now informed on issues taking place in other communities around and are involved in determining their own destinies.Their knowledge levels on a wide range of issues have increased, their attitudes have changed for the better, their practices (i.e. the way they do things) have improved, and as communities beginning at individual level, have acquired new skills. A totality of all these amount to social change as people have moved from a ‘traditional’ society to a more modern one poised for take off, (Rostow, 1960; Learner, 1958).The study is significant in that it has outlined the successes and failures of PSAf’s RLC initiative. It has also brought out issues and challenges associated with rolling out new innovations in rural communities.The study was undertaken as a requirement to the partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Communication for Development, (MCD) of the Department of Mass Communication of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Zambia.

▼ The mukanda institution in the Western and North-Western Province of Zambia, is one of the popular cultural heritages in the country. Over time it has created an inter-ethnic cohesion which in turn has integrated more than ten previously heterogeneous ethnic groups into a single entity. This institution is an age long cultural heritage whose genesis is inextricably linked to the various vakamulauko (the people of this study) royal houses in the western and North-Western Provinces of Zambia and beyond (i.e. Angola and Zaire). From the late nineteenth century when colonial rule was imposed on Zambia, to about 1963 when the colonial epoch was coming to a close, the mukanda institution was subjected to various forms of social change. Through adaptation to the colonial environment, the mukanda institution both managed to change its role and to sustain its own continuity.This dissertation is basically an attempt to reconstruct a history of the mukanda institution during the colonial epoch. In order to portray a fair picture of the institution, a comparative approach was preferred, to cover both the Western and North-western Provinces. In Chapter one, we have attempted to review the existing literature on the topic, with a view of delineating its weaknesses and Strengths.We have argued that much of this literature contains limitations, one of which was the static portrayal of the mukanda. Chapter Two is an attempt to reconstruct a precolonial history of the institution in both the Western and North-Western Provinces. This entailed: tracing the genesis of the mukanda institution among the vakamulauko generally; assessing the historical development of the institution in the two provinces; and examining how mukanda rites were practised in the two areas during that period. In Chapter Three, we heve attempted to analyse the impact of the colonial social change (i.e. colonial economic and political policies), Christian evangelization, Western medicine and modern education on the mukanda institution. To this end, we assessed the impact of hut tax, migrant labour, and other colonial policies, on the mukanda practitioners in both provinces. It has been argued that these policies had a far-reaching effect on the structure and practice of the mukanda rites. As a result, the mukanda institution of the colonial society reflected the influence of these forces; hence the chapter emphasizes change in the institution and not a static state of affairs. In conclusion, we have contended that during the colonial epoch, the mukanda institution adapted itself to the prevailing socio-economic and political environment, and in the process sustained its continuity such that by 1963, the institution had become a vehicle for integration and cohesion amoung vakamulauko, not only in the Western and North-western Provinces of Zambia but also beyond the territorial boundaries of these provinces.

▼ This thesis is a qualitative ethnographic study of innovations implemented by Mr Zephaniah Phiri Maseko, a smallholder farmer from Zvishavane, rural Zimbabwe. Ethnographic data provides insight and lessons of his practices for rethinking existing strategies for adaptation to climate change. The concept of adaptation is probed i n relationship to the closely related concepts of vulnerability, resilience and innovation. This study also explores the concept of conviviality and argues that Mr Phiri Maseko's adaptation to climate hinges on mediating barriers between local and exogenous knowledge systems. Ethnographic fieldwork aided by an analytical framework of resilience makes clear that his farming practices are informed by a realisation that dualisms are problematic. His innovations are a way of building resilience to climate change and his practices demonstrate the interdependencies in a socio - ecological system. This study argues that innovations by smallholders play a complementary role to interventions by outsiders in the discourse of adaptation to climate in the drylands of southern Zimbabwe. Mr Phiri Maseko harvested water as a way of adapting to climate variability. I argue that he offered tangible adaptive climate strategies through his innovations that "marry water and soil so that it won't elope and run - off but raise a family" on his plot. His agricultural practices are anchored on the Shona concept of hurudza (an exceptionally productive farmer). This thesis explores the concept and practices of uhurudza , to suggest that the latter - day hurudza (commercial farmer) as embodied by Mr Phiri Maseko offered an important set of resources for the development of climate adaptation strategies in the region. Therefore, his activities call for a revisit of the notion of hurudza based on grain harvested, one that includes consistent income generated from selling farm produce. His innovations demonstrate elements of conviviality, resilience, accommodating local knowledge as well as ideas he learnt from various educational institutions in order to adapt to climate variability. This thesis explores the usefulness of Mr Phiri Maseko's innovations for other smallholder farmers in the Zvishavane area who have replicated it. I demonstrate that due to the success of his innovations, uptake has been high underpinning the fact that these smallholders appear to be managing to adapt to climate variability. This ethnographic study of smallholder farmers' adoption of innovations to climate highlights the "complex interplay" of multiple factors that act as barriers to uptake. Such interplay of multiple stressors increases the vulnerability of smallholders. I conclude by arguing that in as much as the skewed colonial land policy impoverished the smallholder farmers, Mr Phiri Maseko nonetheless redefined himself as a latter - day hurudza and thus breaks free from the poverty cycle by 'conjuring ingenious' ways of reducing vulnerability to climate. I do not suggest that his innovations offer a 'silver bullet'… Advisors/Committee Members: Green, Lesley (advisor), Ziervogel, Gina (advisor), Chirikure, Shadreck (advisor).

▼ This study is directed toward learning more about intervening variables, or social mechanisms of change, within the process of socialization. It focused upon one social mechanism: "degree of commitment". The contention of the thesis is that "degree of commitment", within the socialization process, is directly connected with (a) the experiences of learning during the process of becoming a member of a social system; and (b) the "socialized" resultant when the learning process is complete. The concept of "degree of commitment" is to be understood in its relation to three other sociological concepts: decision-making, socialization, and social-change. Each of these bears directly upon the concept of "degree of commitment". The factors which work together to result in a decision at the same time result in “degree of commitment". Once a "degree of commitment" is established, it can not only be estimated at a point in time, but it can be examined as a social mechanism -effecting change. Of course, both decision-making and socialization involve "change" and, this concept as a disequilibrating force, similar to the familiar physics concept, is of paramount importance. Five different stated "degree of commitment" groups were analyzed, first, whether or not their stated commitment changed over a period of time; and second, according to different responses to factual and attitudinal questions by commitment group. Data was gathered and examined, according to commitment group, in areas such as: performance, age, socio-economic class, students' self-image and career choice, conceptions of medicine as a career, attitudes toward faculty, peers and toward competition. The constellation of groups and the patterns of change vary by commitment group. As a social mechanism, degree of commitment restricts and governs action. From this study, it is submitted that degree of commitment is an integral part of the socialization process and, therefore, it is one of the social mechanisms that must be studied in any analysis of socialization as a sociological concept. The first year medical students at the University of British Columbia, in the university year 1959-60, comprised the sample. A questionnaire was the main source of data.

▼ The publications discussed herein constitute a programme of research which identifies developments in Citizenship Education in England. In particular they and the accompanying narrative discuss the extent to which Citizenship Education has the potential to radically facilitate social change. All education is political, and the radical approach to Citizenship Education openly promotes social justice and critical active participation. The pedagogy of Citizenship Education is shown to be a political and moral practice intended to expand criticality, participation, self-determination, and imagination, a practice closer to the stated aims of the Crick Report than have been any of the iterations of the National Curriculum for Citizenship. In promoting a synthesis between a pedagogy of discomfort and the principles of subversive teaching this thesis advances the notion that politicians should be accountable, that people should be able and enabled to take decision makers to task, that those decision makers are the servants of the people. From the first published article (Leighton, 2004) up to the most recent collaboration (Leighton and Nielsen, 2018), thematic analysis has led to the identification of two contrasting experiences: formal citizenship and real citizenship. While the state directs teaching and learning towards the formal, this clashes with the realities experienced daily by teachers and students. My data are far-reaching and derived from teachers, student teachers, school students, policy documents, other published research, web sites and other electronic sources. They offer a unique insight into the development of citizenship education in England. Despite the continually diluted National Curriculum and the lack of appropriate provision in many schools, radical citizenship education is shown not only to be a theoretical possibility but slowly becoming a reality. It is practicable and realistic to aim for citizenship education to be truly radical,making hope possible now and in the future.

▼ Social innovation connects diversity, access, and inclusion to social change in the community and must be explored further within the context of higher education and student affairs. The purpose of this research study is to develop a better understanding of how universities can lead and develop an interdisciplinary approach to social innovation education on campus. Specifically, this study analyzed a socially innovative new student orientation program at a mid-sized private university to understand how the collaborative, social justice initiative manifested itself over time.

▼ Social innovation connects diversity, access, and inclusion to social change in the community and must be explored further within the context of higher education and student affairs. The purpose of this research study is to develop a better understanding of how universities can lead and develop an interdisciplinary approach to social innovation education on campus. Specifically, this study analyzed a socially innovative new student orientation program at a mid-sized private university to understand how the collaborative, social justice initiative manifested itself over time. The guiding questions for the study included: What catalyzed the institution to focus on social innovation education? What was the developmental process for the socially innovative initiative? How did the campus community respond to the social innovation? The Social Change Model for Leadership Development served as the theoretical framework to guide the study.

▼ Accomplishing desired benefits from investments in planned change is problematical for organizations, their leaders and the change agents charged with delivery. This is despite a well-developed literature, replete with advice on how change should be achieved. Examination of this literature shows the primary focus on change agents and their practices. This research widens the focus by observing the influence of change agents, change recipients and line managers on organizational routines undergoing planned change. It examines the interplay between stability and change in organizational routines, adopting a social practice perspective, and the routine intended to change as the unit of analysis (Feldman and Pentland, 2003, 2005). The research builds on claims that to understand the patterns of action within routines requires the internal dynamics – the claimed duality between ostensive (in principle) and performative (in practice) aspects - to be examined. A research method to operationalize the study of this claimed duality was devised following the principles of Strong Structuration (Stones, 2005). This method enabled a unique conceptualization of the study of routine dynamics, focused on planned change from the perspective of multiple, interdependent actors. Two cases of change agents following the advice in the planned change literature were explored. In one case, stability of the routine persisted when change was intended. In the other, change was relatively easy to achieve irrespective of change agent actions. The primary contribution is the demonstration of how the attitudes to change of change recipients, line managers and change agents influence the internal dynamics of routines undergoing planned change. Other contributions pertain to the method of ‘unpacking’ organizational routines and its potential for shaping future practice. This research does not offer new ‘normative’ advice but instead sensitizes planned change practitioners to the level of analysis they need to carry out to ensure that their interventions are suitably designed.

Professional Doctorate - Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA)

Organisations constantly evolve to improve their internal strengths and in anticipation or reaction to the state of the environment in which they exist. This research focussed its investigation on the effect of organisational change communication on employee attitude and employee engagement. The primary aim of this research was to offer an investigative discussion, based on literature and research evidence, around the benefit of communicating organisational change through multiple narrative perspectives. A secondary aim of the study was to determine if there is a link between organisational change communication and the achievement of organisational change business objectives. The final aim of this research was to provide inductive theories of sensemaking, role influence, and the process of narrative, within the context of Social Construction Theory (Weick, Sutcliffe & Obstfeld, 2005; Sonenshein, 2010; Cuncliffe & Coupland, 2012). This case study of natural and experimental design provided an opportunity to compare the effect of multi-level storytelling as change communication, between two groups of frontline employees, in a medium-sized Australian financial institution at a time when the employees were experiencing the trial of a new change process. This study was designed to answer the following questions: 1. How, if at all, does storytelling impact employee attitude to organisational change? ; 1.1 What affect does communication between and across roles have on employee attitude to change? ; 1.2 What role does time play in employee attitude to change? ; 1.3 Does the formal or informal nature of communication affect employee attitude to change? ; 1.4 To what extent does attitude affect formal change management outcomes? The attitudes and business performance of both groups were collected and analysed using quantitative and qualitative methods. Evidence from the study suggests that multi-level storytelling as a form of organisational change communication has a positive effect on change recipient attitude. It is proposed that this effect contributes to active employee engagement with organisational change, resulting in improved business performance. Findings from this study also recommend change practitioners enlist the support of the customer to tell their story during change, and to appoint employees who demonstrate the ability to understand multiple perspectives of change as change agents.

▼ In this dissertation, I argue that we can look to particular aspects of theatre and performance to help us engage in empathy that is respectful and dialogic, that seeks not to consume another's experience, but rather to engage it. As a work of theatre scholarship, this dissertation seeks to reframe the debate over whether or not theatre is the ideal site of empathy, and whether such empathy can motivate social change. Rather than arguing for or against empathy, I suggest that we must ask what kind of empathy best promotes social change and how the theatre can help us encourage that empathy. I advocate a model of empathy based on a sense of parity, dialogue, and non-linearity. Empathy, I argue, is not a state or a feeling with a stable goal ("understanding"), but rather a process. As such, it entails an affective and critical labor that requires us to meet the other as our equal and to entertain, imaginatively, his or her perspective on the world. Because the empathy I advocate takes the form of an exchange, it can take us in unexpected directions. It consists not in a linear progression toward understanding, but rather takes the shape of a conversation, twisting, turning, doubling back, and emerging in the moment of encounter. It is contingent and always incomplete-a process without end. I identify a series of theatrical techniques that can help produce the kind of empathy described above: interruption, repetition, and rehearsal. These techniques are either compatible with or derived from Brechtian theory. Thus, the dissertation calls for a rethinking of the role of empathy in Brechtian dramaturgy. To make this argument, I analyze the history of empathy or Einfühlung, a term originating in German aesthetic theory and then adopted by psychology, psychoanalysis, and phenomenological philosophy, inspiring new definitions in each of these disciplines. I argue that Einfühlung in Brecht's work would be better understood as identification or emotional contagion and suggest that, despite Brecht's protests to the contrary, there is not necessarily any conflict between empathy and a theatre of estrangement.

▼ This study focuses on the lives of people living in a social housing estate which was a joint venture between the Housing Association of South Africa (HASA), a Netherlands based foundation and the Buffalo City Municipality. This type of social housing estate is a relatively new concept in post-apartheid South Africa and a first for the City of East London. Apartheid spawned the separation of different groups of people into racial enclaves. It also created barriers between races, advantaged certain races over others and created fear, hatred and general distrust among different racial groups in South Africa. The dislocation of apartheid was accompanied by rapid urbanization and ‘reconstruction’ of infrastructure and inter-racial relationships. The opening up of the country’s borders in compliance with Globalisation made South Africa a melting pot to people of different cultures. South African cities became fragmented and fear and strangeness was everywhere. Housing or the lack of it has been a constant problem that the new post apartheid government has grappled with. The solution of building RDP housing estates has not solved this burgeoning problem. But even more importantly it has failed to reorganize urban life in South Africa. In approaching this study I look at how these new social housing estates have reorganized urban life. I explore the concepts of community, home, generation, gender, material culture and ‘new’ urbanization to provide a framework for my study. This study is a qualitative study based in the city of East London in the Eastern Cape. It is a community study which attempts to go inside the home to unlock some of the intricacies of urban life. Ethnography is the research key used to unlock these intricacies.In conclusion, this study attempts to examine a non-western narrative of community life. Are these housing estates a solution to South Africa’s housing problem? Do they conform only to western narratives of urban life? What kind of citizens do these housing estates produce? These are some of the questions that this study hopes to answer. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. L. Bank.

▼ This is a study of adolescent student experience within the context of social, political and economic change. It examines the retrospective meaning five post-Soviet individuals made of their school-based, familial and social experiences prior to and following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The study employs a framework based upon student resilience and success.This study reviews literature within four areas of focus. First, it examines the nature of change, and operationally divides change into two rudimentary subsets: drawn change (that which slowly alters a societal path over long period of time) and moment change (that which is often linked to crisis and dynamically redirects a societal path over a very short period of time). A discussion of literature follows that examines the historical occurrence of education within the context of social and political change, wherein social and political links are drawn to education. Third, the material available on the subjects of resilience and success is reviewed, from which a model of resilience is employed as a piece of the conceptual framework. The union of the models of change and resilience is then discussed. The fourth area of literature-based focus constructs the historical, cultural, social, political and economic context from which the participants in this study (and their early educational experience) came.Following the review of literature, a description of the methodology and epistemology held by the researcher is presented. Constructivism within hermeneutic phenomenology is discussed at length, followed by an account of the researcher’s position, and then a detailed explanation of the qualitative research design.The participants selected were former adolescent students within the Soviet education system both prior to and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. All participants were residents of Canada at the time of study. One female and four male individuals participated within one-on-one semi-structured conversational interviews. In four cases, secondary questioning (or member checking) took place through the use of in-person or electronic mail communication. Data from all interviews were transcribed and analysed with specialized computer software. Each participant described in depth his or her school-, familial- and social-based experiences both prior to, during and after the changes that took place within the Soviet Union (perestroika, glasnost’ and the dissolution of the Soviet Union). Also discussed was their understanding of success and resilience, described within the context of their own experience. Five themes appeared to emerge. Participants described their experience as one where the structures and values within their families did not change at any point within the broader social, political and economic changes. Second, they relied upon their past experience and examples surrounding them to make behavioural decisions during the time of the change. Third, they described tacit understanding of locus of control and were… Advisors/Committee Members: Renihan, Patrick, Walker, Keith D., Robinson, Sam, Haines, Len, Carr-Stewart, Sheila, Wimmer, Randy.
