WorkParty

How to Create & Cultivate the Career of Your Dreams

By: Jaclyn Johnson

First, we leaned in. Now we stand up. In this “much-needed combo of real talk, confessions, and lessons learned along the way” (Chelsea Handler), Jaclyn Johnson—the founder and CEO behind Create & Cultivate, the fastest growing online platform for millennial businesswomen—offers a rallying cry for a new generation of women who are redefining the meaning of work on their own terms. Jaclyn suffered a massive blow in her early twenties. She was on an upward career climb and confidently moved across the country for a job—and then, was abruptly let go. Attempting to turn that closed door into an open window, she launched a company with a trusted business partner. Soon after, she discovered said business partner had made detrimental decisions to the company without her knowledge. Before she knew it, she was in the throes of a brutal business partner break up. She was only twenty-four. Determined to bounce back, Jaclyn overhauled the mess that was her life and by the time she was in her early thirties, she had sold a company and launched the much-buzzed about Create & Cultivate platform—and advised and invested in multiple million-dollar projects at the same time. So, how did she do it? In WorkParty, Jaclyn shows how she turned distrust into determination, frustration into fuel, and heartache into hard work—and how you can, too. With stories from leading female entrepreneurs including Christene Barberich (co-founder of Refinery29), Alli Webb, (creator of Drybar), Morgan Debaun (founder of Blavity), Jen Gotch of Ban.do, Rebecca Minkoff, and Kendra Scott, you will learn the tips and tricks from the best in the business while cultivating the passion and happiness you need to succeed. “This is the book you need to take your career to the next level—on your own terms” (Refinery29).

Mass Shootings

Media, Myths, and Realities

By: Jaclyn Schildkraut,H. Jaymi Elsass

This book provides readers and researchers with a critical examination of mass shootings as told by the media, offering research-based, factual answers to oft-asked questions and investigating common myths about these tragic events. When a mass shooting happens, the news media is flooded with headlines and breaking information about the shooters, victims, and acts themselves. What is notably absent in the news reporting are any concrete details that serve to inform news consumers how prevalent these mass shootings really are (or are not, when considering crime statistics as a whole), what legitimate causes for concern are, and how likely an individual is to be involved in such an incident. Instead, these events often are used as catalysts for conversations about larger issues such as gun control and mental health care reform. What critical points are we missing when the media focuses on only what "people want to hear"? This book explores the media attention to mass shootings and helps readers understand the problem of mass shootings and public gun violence from its inception to its existence in contemporary society. It discusses how the issue is defined, its history, and its prevalence in both the United States and other countries, and provides an exploration of the responses to these events and strategies for the prevention of future violence. The book focuses on the myths purported about these unfortunate events, their victims, and their perpetrators through typical U.S. media coverage as well as evidence-based facts to contradict such narratives. The book's authors pay primary attention to contemporary shootings in the United States but also discuss early events dating back to the 1700s and those occurring internationally. The accessible writing enables readers of varying grade levels, including laypersons, to gain a more in-depth—and accurate—understanding of the context of mass shootings in the United States. As a result, readers will be better able to contribute to meaningful discussions related to mass shooting events and the resulting responses and policies.

Lights, Camera, Execution!

Cinematic Portrayals of Capital Punishment

By: Helen J. Knowles-Gardner,Bruce E. Altschuler,Jaclyn Schildkraut

Lights, Camera, Execution!: Cinematic Portrayals of Capital Punishment fills a prominent void in the existing film studies and death penalty literature. Each chapter focuses on a particular cinematic portrayal of the death penalty in the United States. Some of the analyzed films are well-known Hollywood blockbusters, such as Dead Man Walking (1995); others are more obscure, such as the made-for-television movie Murder in Coweta County (1983). By contrasting different portrayals where appropriate and identifying themes common to many of the studied films – such as the concept of dignity and the role of race (and racial discrimination) – the volume strengthens the reader’s ability to engage in comparative analysis of topics, stories, and cinematic techniques.Written by three professors with extensive experience teaching, and writing about the death penalty, film studies, and criminal justice, Lights, Camera, Execution! is deliberately designed for both classroom use and general readership.

Museums and Millennials

Engaging the Coveted Patron Generation

By: Jaclyn Spainhour

Is your museum struggling to entice and engage a millennial audience? In Museums and Millennials author Jackie Spainhour offers a new and innovative approach to attracting and retaining the interest of millennial patrons through an easy-to-implement and practical self-assessment based on the success (and failures!) of other museum programs. This book will help you start the process of reinventing your approach to this engaging generation by: Reimagining the millennial generatio, beginning with debunking myths about their wants, needs, and spending power. Giving museum professionals a place to begin their quest- through the lens of the acronym “A.U.R.A.” Checking your museum’s “A.U.R.A.” (Affordability, Uniqueness, Relevance, and Accessibility) to ensure the programming you are currently offering this generation meets their standards and aligns with your mission. Using your findings to create new programs and campaigns geared towards getting millennials inside your doors and keeping them there long-term. Offering program examples from museums of various sizes and scopes throughout the nation geared towards a millennial audience, with explanations of why some programs were more successful than others. Providing tips and tricks for reaching millennials where they are and on a small budget. Helping museum professionals begin the process of giving millennials a voice in museum programs designed for them. Suggesting a path towards success that begins with the millennial generation taking on roles as patrons, members, volunteers, donors, board representatives, part-time workers, and in senior management. Millennials want to be your partners in preservation. They want their voices heard and prefer a hands-on approach to their programming. The highlighted program examples in this work will help you reimagine how your facility is viewed by millennials, what practical changes can be made to persuade them to patronize your facility, and discuss how to create bonds which will last past the individual programs they attend and into the foreseeable future. Museums and Millennials features strategies used by museums of various backgrounds and budgets, advice from respected and data-driven consultants in the field, and offers action-oriented solutions to audience engagement issues. Let this book inspire you to try, or try again, to engage this coveted generation.
