Planning in the South Valley: Previous Planning Efforts, Obstacles, & Plan Implementation Strategies

This document was created for the Rio Grande Community Development Corporation (CDC) and provides information and guidance relating to planning and economic development issues in the South Valley. The information is provided to assist this organization in reaching its goals and mission as a non-profit, community service organization. This professional project is a compilation and analysis that draws conclusions and then recommends community action regarding plans developed by the City of Albuquerque, the County of Bernalillo, the University of New Mexico, School of Architecture & Planning, and various agencies and individuals from 1970 to 1995. The plans used in this document were developed to facilitate the planning process in regards to the regulation of land use, address issues of water rights, address agriculture preservation, transportation and other environmental and development decision making issues. The focus of this work, in degree of emphasis is on the Atrisco, South Valley, and Bernalillo County areas. This document includes the following: A community vision statement made by South Valley residents identifying their concerns ; An assessment of planning efforts from 1973 to 1995 which support the community vision especially in the area of agricultural preservation, historical and cultural importance, and economic development ; An analysis of planning efforts as they relate to supporting the concerns of the South Valley residents ; A few reasons why the implementation of these plans have not been realized based on the results of the assessment ; An analysis of obstacles to plan implementation ; A demonstration of how the approval of zone changes and special use permits disregard plan policies ; A few strategies and alternatives for community action to overcome plan implementation obstacle

Persona Recovery through Homage: Poetic Tributes to Spain’s Generation of 1927

Tània Balló’s Las sinsombrero documentary series (2015-2021) about modern Spanish women led to the creation of multimedia projects and online spaces for paying homage to forgotten women throughout history. However, such crowdsourced and scholarly recuperation efforts are at odds with the prevailing canonization of the Spanish avant-garde artistic group known as the “Generation of 1927”. A deliberately constructed practice of homage has historically excluded women’s legacies and granted nearly exclusive support for the ten male poets considered the originators of the Generation of 1927. Modern women writers like María Teresa León and Concha Méndez lacked such cultural support and thus constructed personas in their life writing by placing themselves outside the sphere of influence of the Generation of 1927 despite their successful literary careers. This creative piece brings together persona studies and homage to study how performances of prestige by writers and literary historians reveal the gendered, classed, and sexualised ways that the literary history of the Generation of 1927 has been constructed. My proposed theory of homage uncovers the closeted and undocumented sapphic and sororal relationships between women, and imagines queer feminist futures where women’s work is central to understanding the cultural milieux of the Generation of 1927. These poetic tributes are what I call “life-making homages” that celebrate and grant prestige to recuperated knowledge of writers’ queer, undocumented lives. The paper and accompanying poems demonstrate how, through life-making homages, scholars can propose alternate paradigms for tracing the development of the Generation of 1927 as part of Spain’s cultural heritage

In pursuit of healing-centered education: a case study of a racial literacy and healing professional development workshop series

In an attempt to tackle issues of racism in the U.S. public education system, school districts throughout the country are paying particular attention to how teachers and educational leaders are trained and supported to address issues of racial disparities. As a result of this, there has been a diffusion of various anti-bias and racial literacy-based trainings in some of the largest school systems. This dissertation explored a case study of a unique racial literacy and healing professional development (PD) workshop series within the New York City Department of Education, which was offered to a group composed predominantly of educators of Color. This inquiry was primarily concerned with how the educator of the PD workshop series designed and enacted a healing-centered pedagogy and what were the affordances of such an approach. A number of qualitative research methods—including contemplative inquiry—worked together to understand how this professional learning experience enabled participants to engage in a healing praxis. The PD curriculum structured opportunities for participants to deploy a two-pronged healing praxis, which combined racial literacy and critical consciousness on one side, and healing and self-care on the other. Through the combination of a transformative activist stance, a healing-centered engagement, and an indigenist stance, this study drew on a unique conceptual framework to examine how the PD series enabled participants to: (a) surface feelings of racialized stress and trauma; (b) potentiate their own healing journey; (c) articulate gratitude and cultivate empathy; and (d) explore conflict and cultural fault lines. This work finds a home in the coming wave of scholarship and a canon that considers healing within the context of education as an urgent matter

Automedicação e termos relacionados: uma reflexão conceitual

Introducción: la automedicación se ha convertido en una práctica creciente en la población mundial. Este fenómeno ha sido promovido como una forma de autocuidado, con impacto positivo en la reducción del gasto dentro de los sistemas de salud; sin embargo, también se ve con preocupación, por los potenciales efectos negativos relacionados con diagnósticos y manejos inadecuados, que pueden afectar la salud de los individuos. Esta doble percepción del fenómeno se relaciona, en parte, con una gran diversidad de términos y conceptos relacionados, que hacen difícil su abordaje teórico-empírico. Para hacer comparaciones epidemiológicas adecuadas se requiere armonizar las definiciones implicadas. Objetivo: analizar el concepto de automedicación y términos relacionados a partir de las definiciones que aparecen en la literatura especializada del tema. Conclusiones: en las últimas cuatro décadas ha habido una evolución tanto de los términos como de las definiciones relacionadas con automedicación, desde un concepto muy simple que implica la ausencia de prescripción médica, hasta conceptos más complejos que abarcan conductas de muy diversa índole; aun aquellas en las que media un acto de prescripción no seguido o no cumplido por el paciente. Adicionalmente se aprecia una proliferación conceptual que justifica el ordenamiento de los términos relacionados con automedicación. Este artículo presenta una propuesta de clasificación en cuatro grupos: a. automedicación, b. autocuidado, c. preparaciones farmacéuticas y medicamentos, y d. prescripción. Esta propuesta puede facilitar la exploración y análisis del fenómeno y permitir futuras aproximaciones teóricas.Introduction: self-medication has become a growing practice in the world population. This phenomenon has been promoted as a form of self-care, with a positive impact on reducing spending in health systems, however there is concern about the potential negative effects related to inadequate diagnosis and treatment, which can affect health of individuals. This dual perception of the phenomenon is partly related to a variety of terms and concepts used, that make difficult its theoretical and empirical approach. Harmonization of the definitions involved is required in order to make adequate epidemiological comparisons. Objectives: analyze the concept of self medication and related terms from the definitions in the literature of the subject. Conclusions: in the last four decades it has been an evolution of both the wording and the definitions related to self-medication, from a very simple concept that implies the absence of prescription, to more complex ones that encompass very diverse behaviors, even those mediated by an act of prescription but not followed or not completed by the patient. Additionally the conceptual proliferation seen, justify the ordering of the terms related to self-medication. This paper presents a proposal for classification in four groups: a. self-medication, b. self care, c. pharmaceutical preparations and medicines, and d. prescription. This proposal should facilitate the exploration and analysis of the phenomenon and allow future theoretical approaches.Introdução: A automedicação tem se convertido em uma prática crescente na população mundial.
