The lecture was held in Montgomery Auditorium on the campus of Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Some 400 students, faculty, public school superintendents and community members attended the hour-long session, which ended with questions-and-answers from the audience. Dr. Ballard leads the largest school district in Oklahoma with 41,000 students and 7,000 employees, including 3,000 teachers. Focusing on college preparedness, he is committed to cultivating teacher talent in a performancebased culture and providing quality learning experiences for every student, every day, without exception. “Communications and relationships have been critical during my journey in Tulsa,’’ Ballard said. “But we must be focused on having an effective teacher in every classroom and a great leader in every (school) building. That’s most important.’’ Ballard joined Tulsa Public Schools as superintendent in 2008. The district serves an urban population with a diverse population of students providing a choice of magnet, community, charter and neighborhood schools including a high school that partners with Tulsa Community College providing college-level courses. During his tenure, Ballard worked to pass the largest bond in the history of the State of Oklahoma, totaling $354 million. He led the way for the district to work with the Gates Foundation on teacher and leader effectiveness, one of only 10 school districts selected in the country. He will retire from his position in Tulsa this summer. The lectureship was established in 1994 by a gift from the John Massey family, which was matched by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education Endowment Fund Program. Previous speakers at the Massey Lecture include H.E. “Gene” Rainbolt, George Kaiser, Edward Keller, Ambassador James R. Jones, Dr. Tom Cole, Archie Dunham, Keith Bailey, Michael Cawley, Joseph Cappy, Sen. Ted Fisher, J.

Only as a result of the Keynesian revolution did it become obvious to everyone — so obvious that people take it for granted — that the problem during a slump is too little spending, not too much, and that recovery depends on persuading the public to start spending again.","PeriodicalId":129959,"journal":{"name":"Filmmakers and Financing","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125779362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Breaking the Rules","authors":"Louise Levison","doi":"10.4324/9781315670089-13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315670089-13","url":null,"abstract":"congress, held online in June 2021. The event was hosted by the University of Helsinki. The theme of the congress was ‘Breaking the Rules: Power, Participation and Transgression’, bringing to the fore discourses and practices of making, breaking, reinterpreting and transgressing rules. The idea was to examine the implications of ‘breaking the rules’ in various social, economic, political, cultural and academic contexts. This special issue of Ethnologia Fennica has been edited by visiting editors Eerika Koskinen-Koivisto, Hanna Snellman and Tiina Suopajärvi. Art and storytelling are powerful instruments for distributing alternative voices. They can contest and convey rules but also transmit knowledge. In Indigenous frameworks, stories and knowing have an inseparable relationship. Sanna Valkonen’s review article, which is based on her opening keynote at the SIEF conference, introduces three stories as examples of research projects based on Sámi perceptions of the world and its ontological and epistemological premises. With these examples, Valkonen shows how Sámi ways of knowing about, for example land and nature, could be applied to issues of global environmental responsibility instead of understanding such knowing as only being connected to the Sámi homeland. The rules she invites us to break are, consequently, the rules for producing academic knowledge while studying Indigenous worlds. This could be done by applying narrative and dialogical methods where human, nonhuman and material become interwoven, like in the making of Sámi duodji (handicrafts) or in Sámi artistic interventions. The review article by Ellen Hertz, also based on her keynote lecture at SIEF 2021, is an important contribution to the discussion of rules and breaking them. She takes us to the world of US corporate circles and a consideration of the problems, consequences and alternatives of ‘soft law’, i.e. ‘agreements, compacts, standards, audits, multi-stakeholder initiatives, certification schemes and the like’, and ‘hard law’, i.e. formal legislation.
