Chris Long<p>Last week we in the Provost’s Office at the University of Oregon paused to discuss and identify the values that will shape our work together.</p><p><a href="https://cplong.org/2024/08/a-pivotal-week-in-the-life-of-the-provosts-office/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cplong.org/2024/08/a-pivotal-w</span><span class="invisible">eek-in-the-life-of-the-provosts-office/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherEd</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@humetricshss" class="u-url mention">@<span>humetricshss</span></a></span></p>

Chris Long<p>A few weeks ago, we had to charge a committee to think through budget issues connected with summer course scheduling. We took a <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@humetricshss" class="u-url mention">@<span>humetricshss</span></a></span> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> approach to the initial gathering of the committee in which we identified values and then talked explicitly about how we will put those values into practice with one another and in the work we are doing. <a href="https://cplong.org/2023/03/finding-the-values-in-committee-work/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cplong.org/2023/03/finding-the</span><span class="invisible">-values-in-committee-work/</span></a></p>
Chris Long<p>To reweave ourselves into community, reconnect ourselves with our purpose, and realign university values with institutional practice, we need to create structures and cultivate habits that reinforce the work that gives our personal and institutional lives meaning. </p><p><a href="https://cplong.org/2023/02/wholeness-in-a-torn-world/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cplong.org/2023/02/wholeness-i</span><span class="invisible">n-a-torn-world/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherEd</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Spirituality</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Wholeness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Wholeness</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@humetricshss" class="u-url mention">@<span>humetricshss</span></a></span></p>
Chris Long<p>After a week in the DC area with colleagues committed to making meaningful culture change in <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherEd</span></a>, I sat down yesterday to reflect upon my experience and the growing movement across higher education toward intentional, <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> transformative change. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@humetricshss" class="u-url mention">@<span>humetricshss</span></a></span> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HuMetricsHSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HuMetricsHSS</span></a> <br /> <a href="https://cplong.org/2023/01/the-intentional-work-of-values-enacted-change/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cplong.org/2023/01/the-intenti</span><span class="invisible">onal-work-of-values-enacted-change/</span></a></p>
Chris Long<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.ie/@stancarey" class="u-url mention">@<span>stancarey</span></a></span> As we on the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@humetricshss" class="u-url mention">@<span>humetricshss</span></a></span> team continue to think about <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> scholarship, the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AltText</span></a> example is one to which I regularly return. Like thorough research, attention to detail, vetting sources, and reading widely, adding <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AltText</span></a> to images elevates the quality of your communication because it enacts a commitment to inclusion and equity. Our approach at <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HuMetricsHSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HuMetricsHSS</span></a> is to ground quality in the intentional enactment of articulated values. Communication of images without <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AltText</span></a> is substandard communication if you share the values of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/equity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>equity</span></a>, <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/openness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>openness</span></a>, <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/inclusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>inclusion</span></a>, <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>accessibility</span></a>, and <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/integrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>integrity</span></a>. It takes more time in the way proofreading and editing and research take more time.</p>
Chris Long<p>Earlier this week, I participated in a leadership workshop in which we talked about the importance of empathy. This led me back to a concept to which the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@humetricshss" class="u-url mention">@<span>humetricshss</span></a></span> team and I return regularly - ethical imagination. </p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/EthicalImagination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EthicalImagination</span></a> moves beyond empathy, which means to suffer along with another, to feel one's way into the position of another. Empathy is a condition for the possibility of ethical imagination. But ethics concerns character; it is a question of disposition. Imagination moves beyond present reality toward what is possible. It is a turn toward justice - it animates just actions.</p><p>Ethical Imagination is the capacity to imagine one’s way into the position of another in order to discern and enact together the just conditions for mutual flourishing.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HuMetricsHSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HuMetricsHSS</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Leadership</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherEd</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Empathy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Empathy</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Imagination" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Imagination</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ethics</span></a></p>
Chris Long<p>This week marked an important milestone for the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HuMetricsHSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HuMetricsHSS</span></a> team: we were able to bring an amazing group of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherEd</span></a> leaders at the University of Washington through the full story arc of the transformative work we hope to empower. </p><p>It begins with a reflective conversation about values that builds toward a values framework designed to inform every aspect of the work. We then deconstructed products of scholarship into their constitutive processes so we could identify ways to infuse our values into the micro-transactions that shape our work. </p><p>Then we invited colleagues to identify a meaningful change they want to make. We asked them to reflect on their positionality, the power they have to effect the change, and who they would need to enter into coalition with to be successful. We ended the workshop with four concrete areas of focus, a map of relationships that influence each area, and a set of values that will shape the way the coalition works together.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a></p>
Chris Long<p>The <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HuMetricsHSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HuMetricsHSS</span></a> team is at the University of Washington this week doing a series of workshops on <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> scholarship and institutional transformation. </p><p>Our work here in Seattle is based in part on our article entitled “The transformative power of values-enacted scholarship”</p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-020-00647-z" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/s41599-020</span><span class="invisible">-00647-z</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherEd</span></a></p>
Tom Scheinfeldt<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@cplong" class="u-url mention">@<span>cplong</span></a></span> I love this sentiment. But practicing <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> scholarship takes more time and patience, which is at odds with the pervasive culture of *more* that has taken over <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherEd</span></a>. Dismantling that culture will be very difficult, but a key component in the realignment you mention.</p>
Chris Long<p>Quality of scholarship is wholly predicated on integrity of character. </p><p>The transformative power of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> scholarship lies in recognizing this dependency. When <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/academic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>academic</span></a> quality is divorced from ethical integrity - as it all too often is - the result is pervasive alienation. </p><p>Renewal and repair in <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HigherEd</span></a> depends on our capacity to align our policies and practices with this reality.</p>
Chris Long<p>One of the many passages to which I regularly return in adrienne maree brown's book, "Holding Change," is this: "We need to pay attention to what we practice. Each practice of an organization is a small scale way to grow or shrink its own realization of its espoused mission and values" (Holding Change, 101). <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>highered</span></a></p>
Chris Long<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://scholar.social/@cameronneylon" class="u-url mention">@<span>cameronneylon</span></a></span> What strikes me about the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fediverse</span></a> model for <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Macademia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Macademia</span></a> or any other online community is how it opens a range of opportunities for those of us who are serious about aligning our practices with our values. <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a></p>
Chris Long<p>The future of the academy depends on a shared commitment to <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/ValuesEnacted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ValuesEnacted</span></a> scholarship - the cultivated habit of intentionally putting your core values into practice in every decision that shapes your work, from who you cite to what you study, from how you publish to how you recognize those whose labor supports your work. The measure of quality becomes then a matter of performative consistency: how well have you enacted the values about which you profess to care? We on the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HuMetricsHSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HuMetricsHSS</span></a> team wrote about this in an <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/openaccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>openaccess</span></a> article on “The Transformative Power of Values-Enacted Scholarship” - <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-020-00647-z" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/s41599-020</span><span class="invisible">-00647-z</span></a></p>
