POD + College Crusade Photo Journaling 2020

Participating artists: Jaylyn B., Jeremy R., Karlim T., Kelssy B., Kenneth B., Maria L., Maria-Camila M., Maria R., Sanilda V., Andrea G., Astrid C., Christiana V., Edgar N., Fredy G., Genesis M., Ilanis R., Jeffri P., Larissa P., and Toluwani A. Photography is a tool that can help us to “SEE.” What does this mean? If we are not visually impaired, we can, of course, physically see. But how much do we miss seeing? How much do we take for granted unless we take the time to look? With assignments that hope to inspire careful observation, we can use the camera to observe things in our familiar surroundings in quite extraordinary ways. Photography can help us become more observant and help us have a fulfilling visual life. During this time of limited mobility due to the Covid-19 pandemic, finding creativity close to home is an essential part of a healthy balanced life. In this online workshop, students were given daily photo challenges to create portraits and still life photographs. They found textures, shapes, colors, numbers, and letters through photographic explorations of their familiar surroundings. In doing so, students created an individual photo journal over the week.

RISD POD 2011 Evaluation & 2012 - 2015 Strategic Plan

This evaluation report and strategic plan documents key findings of an external review of Project Open Door and agreement and the 2012-2017 Project Open Door Strategic Plan. The plan represents consensus among Project Open Door faculty, staff, and Dean of Graduate Studies, Research and Engagement, and Advisory Committee members to strengthen and institutionalize the program. Dean Phillips asked that the review “...evaluate the current condition of the program, confirm its scope, scale, and feasible and fruitful staffing scenarios, explore ways to successfully institutionalize it both within and outside of RISD, and identify pathways for the future, including greater visibility for this replicable model, both regionally and nationally.” Evaluation and plannig supported by a grant from The Rhode Island Foundation.https://digitalcommons.risd.edu/projectopendoor_publicationsdocuments/1000/thumbnail.jp

THE EXPLORATION OF CLINICIANS’ LIVED EXPERIENCES IN CULTURALLY ADAPTING EMPIRICALLY SUPPORTED TREATMENTS FOR AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE POPULATIONS

This study investigated the lived experiences of clinicians who have culturally adapted Empirically Supported Treatments (EST) for American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) populations. The central research question for this investigation was: What is the experience of mental health providers in culturally adapting empirically supported treatments for American Indian and Alaska Native populations? A guided semi-structured interview protocol was used to interview eight participants. Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological psychological method was used to develop a general psychological structure representing eight essential constituents. They are: developing an understanding of cultural adaptation, focusing on building and maintaining therapeutic relationships, immersion and engagement with community, experiencing conflict between Western and Indigenous epistemology, navigating the use of empirically supported treatments, supporting traditional and culturally developed ways of healing, clinicians’ ability to embody cultural humility and increase cultural competency, and coping with external factors. Implications for practitioners, treatment developers, funders, academic programs, clients, and the counseling field are provided. Lastly, recommendations derived directly from the data, arising from limitations of the study, based on delimitations, and those relevant to the research problem are discussed

Creation of a Novel Collaborative Resource for Sharing Scholarship

The growing number of teaching and scholarship positions in academia encourages staff to formalize their scholarship practice. Such creative practices do not easily fit within the rigid structure of traditional journal articles and therefore the sharing of this practice is often limited to conference presentations and posters. This time-limited format for sharing scholarship allows little opportunity for an on-going dialogue and the formation of collaborative networks. The Anatomy Teacher is a YouTube Channel that offers a permanent collaborative library of educational scholarship. The channel provides an internationally accessible space for scholarship with automatically generated transcripts and no financial restrictions ensuring that everybody has the opportunity to share their scholarship
