Signs of Inequality: Addressing Deaf Healthcare Accessibility

Despite advancements in accessibility and accommodations, there remains a significant gap in healthcare access for the Deaf community. This paper explores some causes and effects of this gap such as miscommunication, ableism, and discrimination as key issues that are damaging to the Deaf community and lead to further health problems and stress. It also examines the difficulty of acquiring an interpreter through social, political, and economic lenses. This paper analyzes policies in action that address the rights of the Deaf community to adequate communication, and it gives recommendations to better support the Deaf community in navigating the healthcare system. Advocacy is necessary to amplify Deaf voices and ensure healthcare equity as a fundamental right.https://digitalcommons.salve.edu/glo100/1007/thumbnail.jp

Widow\u27s Walk

Widow\u27s Walk is a Design Team project created for a chef\u27s table held by a group of Plant Based Cuisine students. For the project, the students designed a logo, stamps, comment cards, course cards, invitations, menus, letter backs, as well as hand-written letters from the perspective of a distraught 1920s housewife. The project involved allowing the ideas of the Plant Based Cuisine students to come to life when creating a chef\u27s table revolving around a 1920s housewife writing letters to her absent husband, whose whereabouts are unknown. In addition to design materials, the design team sealed the letters containing the invitations and hand-written letters with liquid wax. The finished components of the project helped the Plant Based Cuisine students create a successful chef\u27s table

I am a Turkish-American sophomore studying psychology and criminal justice with a minor in math, a trio that, at first glance, may not lend itself to poetry, yet here we are. I like to dabble in a bit of everything, triangulate my knowledge, and am especially interested in yoga, graphic design, and reading! I don\u27t write often, but when I do, it is with utmost intention. I plan to continue my studies at the graduate level, following my curiosity wherever it leads me

Climates’ Impact on Culture: Analyzing the Adaptive Capacity of Cultural Heritage Sites in the Global South Situated in the Scholarly and Public Spheres

This study used a qualitative case study analysis to answer the following research question: How are governments in the Global South tackling the challenge of preserving UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the face of climate change? This was done by investigating the adaptive capacity of the Chan Chan Archeological Site in Trujillo, Peru. The adaptive capacity of the site was evaluated using an adaptive capacity analytical framework that is composed of four determinants: learning capacity, room of autonomous change and access to information, access to resources, and leadership. These determinants were then sought out in State of Conservation Reports provided to UNESCO by the Republic of Peru. The findings of this research were that the Chan Chan Archeological Site does not exhibit a high level of adaptive capacity and, therefore, will likely be unable to adapt to the environmental changes which will occur in the coming years. This is mainly due to insufficient access to resources, lack of a leadership body, and bureaucracy at the site which inhibits autonomous change
