Past Highlights from Insider News
Elizabeth Castillo on Integrated reporting as a tool for sustainable wealth creation
At the beginning of each term, I ask my students to give examples of a resource. They typically say things like money, buildings, and cars. Then, I ask them to tell me what they value. Their answers change dramatically. They talk about family, friends, relationships, and their emotional and physical well-being. When they realize the discrepancy between what they think is valuable and how they defined resource, many are shocked.
In business, we experience this same disconnect. Read More.

Congratulations to associate professor Ashley Randall on being selected for winter fellowship to Israel!
Randall, who is director of training in the Counseling and Counseling Psychology program and does innovative research into couples’ regulation of emotion in interpersonal relationships, will travel throughout Israel from Dec. 26 to Jan. 8, meeting Israeli professors who have similar research interests, with the goal of developing collaborations, research projects and co-authored articles, and establishing exchange programs between faculty and students. The fellowship, which more than 250 have already taken part in, is a fully paid intensive program for full-time U.S.-based academics.
Ashley Randall's book available as e-book or download
Associate professor of counseling and counseling psychology Ashley Randall's recent book "Interpersonal Emotion Dynamics in Close Relationships" is now available to read online or to download. It was published in August 2018 by Cambridge University Press.

Monuments, Memory, and Meaning
Monuments commemorating historical figures have become a source of controversy among Americans today. Some historical monuments from the past stir emotions among people for different reasons. While some believe the people commemorated do not represent American values, and thus the monuments should be removed, others believe removing them is an attempt to erase history, and bows to current fashionable trends that may prove transient. Three scholars will explore these controversial debates and their implications, including the interrelationship of the present and the past. Panelists include the following scholars from the ASU College of Integrative Sciences and Arts:
Vanessa Fonseca, Assistant Professor, CISA: "Juan de Oñate and the Vestiges of Colonial Power in the U.S. Southwest"
Brooks D. Simpson, ASU Foundation Professor of History, CISA: "Confederate Monuments, Then and Now"
Moderator: Eric Nystrom, Co-director, ASU Public History/Associate Professor of History, CISA

Our alumnus John Martinson gears up for a carbon-neutral road trip! 
Completing an ambitious road trip in an electric vehicle may worry some people, but for Martinson, it’s another way to live his values. Martinson is a recent graduate of the ASU School of Sustainability’s Executive Master of Sustainability Leadership program, and he’s also the school’s alumni board president. Before he graduated from the school, Martinson co-owned the successful China Mist Tea Company for 34 years. He believes in natural capitalism, which is a business model that takes into account the value of earth’s natural resources and ecosystems. Read More.
Elizabeth Castillo: How the Nonprofit Sector Can Help Save Capitalism from Itself
While the 2016 U.S. presidential election surprised many people, there is one person, if he were still alive, who would not blink an eye that Trump—the corporate magnate—won. Economist Karl Polanyi (1886–1964) studied the evolution of capitalism. His 1944 book The Great Transformation argued that the market and the state (business and government) increasingly work together to advance their mutual self-interest, often at the expense of the people. This is because the market, rather than being truly “free,” requires legislative policies to support it. Examples include legal enforcement of contracts, private property rights, and labor policies to influence wages ...
