Awesome
I absolutely recommend taking Professor Castillo if at all possible! She was so helpful and kind when giving feedback. I had some emergency circumstances and she allowed me to turn in a few assignments late. I did get a C in this class, but it was my own fault, not hers.

Biography

Assistant Professor, Arizona State University
Research
Elizabeth
Castillo, PhD
Phoenix, Arizona Area
How can we create an economy that works for everyone? My research suggests that intangible assets hold the key. Developing capacities like social capital (relationships), intellectual capital (knowledge), psychological capital (employee engagement and meaningful work), and moral capital (dignity, reciprocity, and inclusion) create conditions where people, organizations, and communities thrive.
My academic career follows a 20-year career in social enterprise management, where I raised more than $28 million for nonprofit organizations and government agencies. My research was inspired by my work as Director of Foundation Relations at the San Diego Natural History Museum (1999-2009), where I came to see nature as a model for organizational development and vitality. My passion for collaboration stems from my experience as Director of Development of the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership (2009-2012). My consulting experience includes strategic planning, program design, fundraising, and board development.
I hold a PhD in Leadership Studies, MA in Nonprofit Leadership, and BA in Philosophy and History (summa cum laude) from the University of San Diego. I also earned a Certificate in Fund Raising Management from Indiana University. I formerly served on the editorial advisory committee for The Nonprofit Quarterly.

Publications
Vital signs: Catalyzing community well-being indicators
Nonprofit Quarterly
What matters gets measured. This article explains why every community should adopt well-being indicators. It provides an overview of best practices, exemplar communities, and useful resources to begin tracking indicators.
Restoring reciprocity: How the nonprofit sector can help save capitalism from itself
Nonprofit Quarterly
Nonprofits often act to mend problems within a given system, but what if the system as a whole is decaying? The role of nonprofits is likely to become different than what we have been used to. To preserve our values, we need to enter the fray and re-embed the market in society by restoring social norms of reciprocal obligation and commitment.

Where Heart Meets Smart: The Making of a Grantmaker
The Foundation Review
A case study of a graduate philanthropic studies course that includes a grantmaker's perspective. Students partner with a local private foundation to serve as its program officers, experiencing the intellectual, emotional, and practical challenges of effective grant making. The foundation benefited from increased rigor, an infusion of fresh perspective, and an expanded awareness of a region's nonprofit landscape. The article demonstrates that philanthropic studies is an applied science with a knowledge base that can be both drawn upon and added to, significantly improving practice in the field.

The fundraiser's journey: A developmentally informed, grounded theory analysis
International Journal of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Marketing
A study about the experiences, motivations, and thought processes that inform fundraisers' career choices and development. Results suggest that a) fundraisers' aptitudes, skills, and abilities may influence their career choice more than a sense of connection to the nonprofit sector or organizational mission; b) their personal philanthropy and social embeddedness play integral roles in their professional development. Although not large enough for generalization, this study suggests the need to consider fundraisers holistically, including their psychological development and social embeddedness over time. Beyond traditional marketing and public relations perspectives, we outline a path for future studies to adopt a service-dominant logic framing to investigate fundraisers as part of a larger philanthropic ecosystem.

Beyond the Balance Sheet: Teaching Capacity Building as Capital Building
Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership
This article describes why capacity building is better understood as an economic construct, capital building. It presents a typology of tangible and intangible capitals, explains how these resources generate capacity, and provides examples of metrics and how this capital-building approach to capacity can be integrated into existing university courses to align with the Nonprofit Academic Centers Council's revised curricular guidelines. Volume 6, No. 3, pp. 287-303.

In search of missing time: A review of the study of time in leadership research
The Leadership Quarterly
Many studies describe leadership as a dynamic process. However, few examine the passage of time as a critical dimension of that dynamism. This article presents a systematic review of empirical studies to identify gaps in how time has been studied in leadership, using Monge's typology of temporal dimensions as an analytical frame. It explains methodological implications of the identified gaps and proposes a computational science approach to remedy them. Agent-based modeling offers a novel way to investigate the temporal, dynamic, emergent, and recursive aspects of leadership.
