đź“š Lecture: "Leadership in Film: From Politics to Problem Solving"
🎤 Speaker: Prof. Bruce Peabody
Join us for an enlightening evening with Professor Bruce Peabody as he explores the powerful lessons that films can teach us about leadership and problem-solving. In a world where challenges range from the mundane to the monumental, understanding how cinema reflects and instructs our approaches to change is more relevant than ever.
Drawing from his recent research, Prof. Peabody will provide innovative insights into how we navigate our roles within a continuum of challenges, highlighting examples from beloved classics like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and The Godfather, alongside contemporary films and series such as Planet of the Apes and The Handmaid’s Tale. This lecture promises to provide a fresh perspective on the intersection of politics, cinema, and the everyday problems we face.
Bruce Peabody is a Professor of Government and Politics at Fairleigh Dickinson University and has authored over fifty scholarly articles, as well as numerous books, including the upcoming Wicked Leadership in Film (2024). His work has gained recognition worldwide, appearing in renowned outlets like the Washington Post, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal.
