Faculty Interview — Dr. Charles McDaniel

Posted on July 30, 2015 by adam_d_moore

144268We are excited to announce that Dr. Charles McDaniel, associate professor in the BIC, has a new book published in the Routledge series, Critical Studies in Finance and Stability. Civil Society and the Reform of Finance explores the recent financialization crisis that impacts not only the market economy but also the vital civic and moral traditions that support it. While this book is directed toward an academic and professional audience, it examines topics that certainly impact the world around each of us. We recently interviewed Dr. McDaniel to learn more about his new book and to discover his plans for future research and teaching in BIC.

——————–

Tell us a little about your recent book and how you became interested in this particular topic.

The book examines the civil society implications of recent changes to the financial system—how financial methods and techniques are changing the cultures of religious, educational, and other institutions—and proposes that these changes are potentially more damaging that the immediate financial instability we witnessed. It wasn’t hard to become interested in the subject given the financial crisis and its aftershocks.  After all that’s been written and the seeming conviction that the crisis was as much the product of a fraying ethical foundation as technical factors, little has been written on the ethical flaws in the system.  There are lots of stories about the “London Whale” and other players that contributed, but not much has been written about the moral hazards inherent in the industry’s structure.  Given that the financial world is so critical to economic growth and global stability, when it shows signs of spinning, if not out of control, then certainly beyond comprehensibility, we can’t afford to turn a blind eye.  Whatever one’s level of interest in finance, what goes on in the financial sector impacts us all not only in terms of our material welfare but society’s moral coherence.  My particular point is that the financial complex involving mostly private corporations and government regulators has proven inadequate.  We need an injection of America’s most important resource, its civil society, to make the kind of changes required.  But civil society institutions must remain to some extent financially “disinterested” to be able to provide the kind of moral foundation that the financial system needs. We need ethicists, theologians, philosophers, etc., speaking out on financial issues.  That requires doing much homework and being willing to cross boundaries that traditionally haven’t been crossed.

For those of us who are not academic scholars (the target audience of your book), how might your work impact the way we look at today’s world?

Continuing from my answer to the previous question, my hope is that the book helps people see the risks in implicitly turning over control of vital social and economic sectors to experts.  As I state in the book, the financial system is evidence of an extreme narrowing of vision with respect to development to the point where specialists in an industry are able, in a certain sense, to “define value” independent of the society in which they exist.  The financialization of society as a whole (the growing influence of financial values and practices in all social segments) demonstrates a course of cultural development that, without any form of political consensus, has enabled a great transition in power and wealth based on instruments and methods that few understand.  Creation of complex products that amassed unimaginable wealth (hundreds of trillions of dollars) and were beyond the comprehension of 99+ percent of the population is a critical social problem, not just an economic one, regardless of whether the system has stabilized over the past few years.  Where my book diverges from most of the literature is in its conclusion that the “financialization crisis” is a much larger problem than the financial crisis we recently went through.  The financialization of society is a political, social, and moral quandary whether or not we acknowledge it as such. A society where most of the population has little to no knowledge of how their capital is being utilized because of obsession with whether or not it is being maximized sounds much like a ship without a rudder.  Unfortunately, we are fast arriving at that kind of system.

You taught a BIC Capstone course under the topic “The Moral Ecology of Capitalism.” How was that experience? What kind of questions and conversations did you hope to initiate through the course?

Many of the themes from the book are covered as are some of the “old questions” of economics involving theories of value, the role of institutions, etc.  Core positions of the various schools of economics (Austrian, neoclassical, Keynesian) are compared and we examine how the rising dominance of mathematics in economics has changed the discipline and its professions.  Of course, I leave ample time for discussing the contemporary financial system and its implications.  We conclude the course with a group project where teams are charged with comparing different companies within industries from a broad perspective, not simply profitability.  The students look at companies from the vantages of their labor and environmental policies, corporate citizenship, and other criteria, and I have them develop their own models for assessment. The main question I hope to initiate with the exercise is what should be the overarching goal of the modern corporation?  Is it just maximization of shareholder value as Milton Friedman suggested or is there potential for business corporations to better guide society to desired social and ethical ends and how can those ends be determined?

Where do you see your research and/or teaching going in the future?

Plans for the next book are already underway—it concerns the economic views of the American Founders and the extent to which the country has remained consistent with those views or not.  Obviously, there were differences among the Founders as to their economic visions, but I see enough common in their writings to suggest that we can look at the present economic system and critique it in light of founding values and principles.  I also have a paper underway for presentation at the Institute for Faith and Learning’s Spirit of Sports Conference in November.  It examines the rising financial dominance of college athletics and whether Christian colleges and universities have unique roles to play in preserving the ethics of college sports.

How long have you been in the BIC? What do you enjoy most about teaching in the BIC and working with BIC students?

I’ve taught in the BIC for 8 years.  The greatest enjoyment of teaching in the BIC is interacting with the diversity of students and faculty that comprise it.  I think that diversity is the program’s greatest asset.  It creates unique challenges but also offers great rewards both in the classroom and in research.  The range of perspectives on critical social and moral issues available in the BIC always stimulates new ideas.  Each semester allows me to approach issues/problems from perspectives I never thought of before, often because of a question from a student or a conversation with a colleague.

Alumni Interview — Dr. Bettina Drake (’01)

Posted on June 9, 2015 by adam_d_moore

With each year that passes there are more and more BIC graduates doing great work all over the world. At least once each year we hope to publish brief “Alumni Updates” where our alumni can tell us some about their post-BIC lives. In addition to these annual updates, we are posting interviews with some of our alumni. This month we are excited to post an interview with Dr. Bettina Drake (’01). This interview was conducted by Nicole McDaniel, current Baylor student. We hope you enjoy, and if you are interested in being interviewed for a future blog post, email us at BIC@baylor.edu.

Head ShotWhat is your current occupation? Can you describe your typical day at work?

I am an epidemiologist who works as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Public Health Sciences at Washington University School of Medicine. My research focuses on cancer prevention and how prevention influences racial and socioeconomic disparities in cancer.

How has BIC helped you with your career? Did BIC prepare you for graduate school?

BIC encourages students to have a global perspective and to understand the benefits of cultural influences on their work. As an epidemiologist, I employ a multi-level approach to evaluate my research questions, which involves consideration of individual, community, and policy factors.

What was your major at Baylor and what other degrees have you earned?

I received a B.S. In Biochemistry with a minor in Sociology. I have also earned an MPH (Master’s in Public Health), a PhD in Epidemiology, and I completed post-doctoral studies at Harvard School of Public Health

What was your favorite thing about the BIC program? What classes did you find the most interesting? Which classes did you find the most beneficial?

My favorite thing about the BIC program was the trip to Mexico my Freshman year. My favorite class and likely most beneficial was Writing and Speaking.

Why did you choose to be a part of the BIC program?

I was a member of the first BIC class. It was an exciting curriculum that provided a well-rounded perspective to my basic science course load.

How did you manage your time between BIC classes, extra curricular activities, major focus classes, etc.?

I was part of a cohort of BIC classmates who lived close together, which was great for study groups and out-of-class discussions.

Do you have any advice for current BIC students?

Hold on to the global perspective that BIC provides. It will be useful no matter what career you choose.

Lastly, what is your favorite Baylor memory?

I met my husband at Baylor. He, too is a BIC alum!

lefevre

What year did you graduate from Baylor and what did you study?

I graduated from Baylor back in 2008! I can’t believe it was that long ago, because I feel like I just left! I studied International Studies with a concentration in Eastern Europe (mainly Russia). I studied Russian while I was there and was fortunate to be able to study abroad in Voronezh, Russia. It was a great experience.

When you began your undergraduate did you know exactly what you wanted to do? If not, did the BIC help you discover your passion?

Ever since I was in high school, I knew that I wanted to do something with International Affairs. I really loved my Global Studies class that I took freshmen year of high school. I knew that was the area I wanted to work in, but it wasn’t until a trip I took to DC that I met some State Department Ambassadors. It was then that a world was opened up to me.

When I arrived on campus, I visited the AF ROTC booth at orientation and decided that military service not only could help pay for college (we all know how expensive Baylor is) as well as give me federal service time, while I was trying to apply to the State Department.

What was your favorite part of the BIC? (So far mine has been the field trips we’ve taken to the Hindu Temple and the Mosque)

You have great taste. 🙂 World Cultures was not surprisingly my favorite class. Everything about the class was enjoyable, especially the field trips. I often refer back to those times at work. There is so much that you get to learn and take away from those classes that you’ll get to share with your co-workers and friends.

Can you tell us some about your professional journey since graduating from Baylor? What are you currently doing for a career?

After graduation from Baylor, I commissioned in the United States Air Force. It has definitely been one whirlwind adventure and I’ve loved every minute of it. There is a lot of trust and faith that the Air Force places on its young Airmen, both enlisted and officers. Every job I’ve had within the Air Force has been a challenge in different ways; in my first assignment, they entrusted me with leading a group of over 30 individuals who supported some amazing operations, such as assisting the Haitian government after the earthquake in 2010, and eventually I was put in charge of a flight of 120 individuals at 26 years old. Of course, I had a strong group of individuals, Non-Commissioned Officers, that helped guide me through a very busy time. Some of them had 15 or more years of experience, and as a team we got through some very difficult times. I’ve also been fortunate to deploy multiple times, where I had the honor of supporting and working with amazingly talented US Airmen, Marines, Sailors, and Soldiers, as well as, other countries’ militaries. Even though it has been almost 7 years since I graduated, there isn’t a day I am not able to glean some insight from what I learned during my BIC days. From my experiences within world religions or from the reading the many great texts we were exposed to, all this knowledge has definitely shaped how I handle the diverse and complex issues that arise while at work.

Do you think the BIC has contributed to your development as an Air Force Officer?

It absolutely has. From critical thinking to writing, all of the classes that I took in BIC really set me up well for my career. I’d say BIC helped out with more than just my work. Because BIC goes back to the foundations and basics of learning, I am able to tackle many different tasks and problems in my life. It allows me to relate to many people and cultures. I have lived and spent time in over 10 different countries since I joined the military.

What are some of your goals for the future?

I have always wanted to know that I contributed to more than just myself, given more than I received. Right now, serving in the military gives me a very real picture of what I contribute to and the lives that I am able to help. It also gives me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and learn from them, and understand their perspectives. The Air Force has given me many priceless experiences, and I know that I want to continue affecting the international community, and only God knows whether that is within the federal government or the private sector, I’m still not quite sure where this journey will take me.

Alumni Interview — Dr. Omoniyi Omotoso (’00)

Posted on April 14, 2015 by adam_d_moore

With each year that passes there are more and more BIC graduates doing great work all over the world. At least once each year we hope to publish brief “Alumni Updates” where our alumni can tell us some about their post-BIC lives. In addition to these annual updates, we are posting interviews with some of our alumni. This month we are excited to post an interview with Dr. Omoniyi Omotoso (’00). This interview was conducted by Clarissa Charles (’15), current BIC student. We hope you enjoy, and if you are interested in being interviewed for a future blog post, email us at BIC@baylor.edu.

Omotoso

What year did you graduate from Baylor? What did you study and what extra curricular activities did you participate in?

I’m in the Class of 2000 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biochemistry. My activities included organizations such as the premedical Honor Society (AED) where I became an officer and partook in the creation of the African Students Association (ASA) as well as Baylor soccer club.

When did you feel called to be a physician and/or a pediatrician?

I was leaning towards the discipline by the time I graduated from high school, and while at Baylor University I found a few opportunities to observe physicians in the clinic setting. At that point, my plan was to pursue family practice or internal medicine. It was much later in my 3rd year of medical school training that I shifted focus towards pediatrics.

What led you to pursue a Masters in Public Health, and how do you feel it has benefited the way you practice medicine?

While a medical student, I developed an interest in public health but was unsure of its applicability from a career standpoint. After finishing residency training and starting an Infectious Diseases fellowship, I realized what I needed. MPH training provided the knowledge of how public health policy can impact population-based health measures, and various avenues for participating which I was previously unaware of.

How would you sum up your average workday as a pediatrician, and what do you find most rewarding about your career? 

The majority of my work is based in community health clinics where I am a general pediatrician and we utilize an electronic health record (EHR) system. Typically patients are scheduled for 15-minute time slots starting at 8:45am through 12:45pm and then 1:30pm to 4:30pm. My assigned medical assistant greets the patient, family members then checks the measurements (weight, length/height, temperature, blood pressure, pulse and/or pulse oximetry) then places them in a room. Once ready, I proceed to talk to the family and examine the patient. After I make my diagnosis, I discuss plans with the family and if needed recommend vaccines/medications/subspecialty referrals using EHR.

A typical clinic day consists of regularly scheduled checkups such as newborn babies, infants for routine immunizations and older children’s annual physical examinations. In addition, some slots are reserved for sick patients and sports physical exams. We try to limit the need for our patients to go to Urgent Care clinics and/or Emergency Department for acute care.

The most rewarding part is the consistent daily opportunity to interact with families during the clinic visit and over time build relationships and foster connections to ensure everyone – patients and parents/caregivers – are healthy and have access to services (medical and otherwise).

What would you consider your greatest passion in life to be?

Pediatrics as a whole. I truly enjoy working with each family as a unit, advocating on their behalf when appropriate and ensuring they have full access to healthcare and other resources.

What goals or dreams do you have for your future?

I’m already living part of my dream as I work in community health clinics with underserved minority patient populations. I would still like to further apply my public health training initially locally within the city/county and eventually with international organizations such as World Health Organization projects in sub-Saharan Africa.

What aspect of BIC did you most enjoy during your time at Baylor?

The greatest value of the BIC program was the opportunity to learn from both faculty and fellow students in diverse disciplines which I would have missed in a traditional biochemistry curriculum. I was able to appreciate literature, history and sociology in unique ways. Equally important, I created some lifelong friendships that remain active to this day with my BIC classmates and some of the professors as well.

Has your BIC education influenced your post-graduate life?

BIC education enabled a more well-rounded and worldly-educated mind through which I continue to explore disciplines outside of medicine and also apply back to my field.

Do you have any advice for current BIC students?

Enjoy the BIC experience and expand on what you learn into a lifelong learning process.

Finally, feel free to share a favorite Baylor memory.

I still remember going to football games and standing in the rain with friends and other students despite the losing. Such camaraderie. Sic em bears!!!

Although she is passionate about theater history and academia, teaching is Toten Beard’s greatest passion, she said.

“I love teaching,” Toten Beard said. “I just like this phase — I like being around people who are turning into who they’ll become.”

The feeling is not unrequited.

“I learned more from her than any teacher I’ve ever had,” Flower Mound senior Chynna Walker said. “She makes students feel smart, appreciated and welcome to speak their mind. I hope to be just like her if I ever decide to become a teacher.”

Note from the Director — Spring 2015

Posted on March 18, 2015 by adam_d_moore

Dear BIC alumni,

Greetings from Waco! We are in the middle of a busy spring semester. It has not felt much like spring lately.  It has snowed twice in Waco in recent weeks! Of course, it is nothing like the long winter weather across the North, but it is still rather exciting to see the campus covered in snowflakes.

Here are a few highlights of life in the BIC:

  • We are making plans for our twenty-year anniversary of the BIC. Stay tuned for more details. We would love to have you come back to celebrate with us.
  • World Cultures IV is under new leadership with Sarah Walden serving as coordinator. Sam Perry, Sharon Conry, Paul Carron and Chuck McDaniel have all spent a lot of time revamping the World of Rhetoric, Natural World, and Social World sequences.
  • Three BIC faculties had books come out in print. Candi Cann’s Virtual Afterlives: Grieving the Dead in the 21st Century came out. One of our newest faculty members, Davide Zori, co-edited Viking Age Archaeology in Iceland: the Mosfell Archaeological Project. Jason Whitlark actually had two books come out this year — Resisting Empire: Rethinking the Purpose of the Letter to “the Hebrews” and a co-edited book, Interpretation and the Claims of the Text: Resourcing New Testament Theology.
  • I’m happy to report that Chuck McDaniel just received tenure from Baylor University. What exciting news!
  • In other faculty news, Sam Perry and Jason Whitlark have been nominated by the Honors College as Outstanding Professors. Lynn Tatum won the University wide Outstanding Lecturer award last year.
  • Lest you think all we do is work, Davide Zori, Xin Wang, Paul Carron, and Lenore Wright all welcomed new babies into their families this year.

Best wishes to you and yours,

Anne-Marie Schultz
Director, Baylor Interdisciplinary Core

Faculty Interview — Dr. Lenore Wright

Posted on March 16, 2015 by adam_d_moore

Dr. Lenore Wright is associate professor in the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core and director of the Academy for Teaching and Learning at Baylor. Dr. Wright’s academic background is in philosophy. She teaches in both the BIC and the philosophy department. We hope you enjoy this interview with Dr. Wright! (Read more faculty interviews)

lenore_wrightHow long have you been teaching in the BIC? What do you find most rewarding about working with BIC students?

I began teaching BIC courses in 1999, my first year at Baylor. My first BIC course was Examined Life; the second was World Cultures II. Thereafter, I taught World Cultures III, World Cultures I, and the BIC Capstone (co-taught with the incomparable Tom Hanks). Now that I have a course reduction for administrative work (I direct the Academy for Teaching and Learning), I teach only one BIC Course: World Cultures III. I am honored to serve Baylor in an administrative capacity, and I believe deeply in the ATL’s mission to support the development of faculty as teachers, but I do miss BIC students. I am happiest when I’m in the classroom, and I feel renewed by my time with BIC sophomores each fall.

What’s not rewarding about working with BIC students? Their willingness to read widely and think deeply about matters that matter is inspiring. Their ability to make connections among a vast array of ideas and texts is impressive. Their care of self and concern for others is humbling. BIC teaching is rewarding on many levels. What is perhaps most rewarding about working with BIC students is their commitment to the community of learning that BIC fosters: intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and psychosocially. When they leave Baylor they want to make a life, not just a living. They want to improve themselves and improve the world. I am always struck by their deep desires to make a difference in the lives of others. I admire that. They are young colleagues. And I’m gratified by the professional and personal associations I have continued to have with many former students. Sic ‘em, BIC!

Tell us about your work with the Academy for Teaching and Learning at Baylor.

The mission of the Academy for Teaching and Learning (ATL) is to “support and inspire a flourishing community of learning.” What that means concretely is that I facilitate collaboration between faculty, between faculty and students, and between the faculty and administration on teaching-related endeavors. My charge is to provide programs and resources that develop faculty as teachers. Baylor has many excellent instructors—and many of them teach in BIC! I seek to recognize and honor effective teachers, encourage faculty to experiment with new approaches to teaching, and mentor new instructors as they begin to form themselves as teachers. It’s exciting to engage in dialogue with instructors at different stages of their teaching careers. I enjoy finding ways to meet their specific needs for support and inspiration. I can’t do this alone. Many faculty colleagues join me in my work, which is guided by the ATL Advisory Council (Dr. Schultz and Dr. Hanks are members). I am honored to have colleagues who lead programs, such as Faculty Interest Groups (FIG) or Seminars for Excellence in Teaching (SET). Together we strive to continue the historic tradition of teaching excellence on Baylor’s campus.  Continue reading →
