“…These results also suggest that participants made “empathic connection with people different from themselves” (p. 110), which, as Daloz Parks (2000) proposed, can aid transformations involving the development of social responsibility. However, as in Robinson and Levac’s (2018) study, there is no evidence that most of the study’s participants have completed the process of transformation by engaging in reflective action. Thus, the slight shifts in perspective regarding racism suggest that five of the seven participants may be experiencing a gradual process of transformation.…”

“…Kitchenham’s (2008) review of transformative learning (TL) theory continues to be cited heavily and, after over a decade, is in the top 5% of all research outputs by Altmetric; however, we argue that the review should now be updated by applying the theory to other settings with a particular emphasis on assessing the model. For example, Robinson and Levac (2018) reviewed the theory as a model for developing the engaged global citizen, and Parkhouse (2016) used the central theory of conscientization to reveal the power of contradictory consciousness through critical pedagogy in U.S. history classrooms. Additionally, Jarvis (2012) made a strong connection between fiction and film and TL; Dirkx (2008) and Tisdell (2008) both argued for the role of emotional learning as part of deep transformations; and Mezirow (2012) revisited TL theory to discuss how adults can and do learn to think like adults.…”

This article describes a bounded action research case study that examines how reading and discussing a graphic narrative ( March Book Two, a comic autobiography of John Lewis’s life as a civil rights activist) enabled transformations in a group of seven adult student participants at a Canadian postsecondary institution. Data primarily gathered from photocopies of student work, including reflective journal entries, postsemester interviews, and the primary researcher’s daily reflexive and reflective research journal entries, were evaluated with Kitchenham and Chasteauneuf’s framework of assessing transformative learning with critical reflection types such as objective and subjective reframing of assumptions. The authors found that both the participants and the primary researcher engaged in a number of shifts, including engaging in systemic critical self-reflection of and on assumptions.

Research background: We are in a period when the society got into a global crisis. The main trigger was the arrival of a worldwide coronavirus pandemic. The European Union is responding and sending an unprecedented rescue package to help the economies of the individual Member States. In a short time, entrepreneurs are forced to drastically change their strategies to ensure a basic survival in the market. Under the influence of globalization in connection with the crisis, companies are under increasing pressure to base their business activities on the principles of the circular economy. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to analyze the external communication in a particular multinational company and to point out the advantages of applying the principles of the circular economy, used in the conditions of the global economic crisis. Methods: We will analyze theoretical knowledge from domestic and foreign authors. We will analyze external data that will provide us with information about the tools of external communication that are used in the standard period and we will compare them with the external communication used in the current crisis period. Findings & Value added: The contribution of the paper is in pointing to the fact that external communication and communication tools tend to change depending on the specific situation in which the company finds itself, how companies had to adjust their external communication depending on the pandemic in which the whole society found itself.

Consumers – global citizens from the CSR 2.0 perspective

et al. 2020

The article focuses on CSR 2.0 concept (Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility) in context with concept of a circular economy and responsible consumer. The main goal of CSR 2.0 is an improvement of the quality of life for all people in the world. This concept perceives consumers as global citizens. The basic principles of CSR 2.0 are Creativity (C), Scalability (S), Responsiveness (R), Glocality (2) and Circularity (0). The companies which implement CSR 2.0 can bring innovative solutions to most pressing social, environmental and ethical problems and challenges in the world. Responsible and conscious consumers can engage in the process of implementing CSR 2.0 by their willingness to collaborate and participate in the marketplace and corporate world. The aim of this paper is to look at the consumer from the “Glocality and Circularity perspective” according to the basic principles of CSR 2.0 in the condition of the Slovak Republic. To fulfil this aim, we conducted a survey of 1061 Slovak inhabitants. The results show the profile of our respondents according to their local actions (environmental actions, buying ethical products etc.) and their profile/activities regarding their participation on circularity (e.g. recycling, re-using, sharing etc.).
