Culturally Relevant Leadership and Emancipatory Leadership: Linking Black Education and Social Justice Struggles Going Forward

In January 2020, in response to the criticism that New York City schools don’t reflect the experiences of students of color, the New York State Education Department (2020) released the Culturally responsive and sustaining Education Framework. While the culturally responsive and sustaining education (CR-SE) initiative in New York City schools aims to bring a well-rounded curriculum that centers on many cultures into the classroom, there is still a lack of diverse curriculum and reading material (Gooden, 2019). Discussion of how CR-SE can serve as an emancipatory approach in Black education has been lacking since its creation. To get a better understanding of the liberating and emancipatory practices CR-SE offers, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Sonya Douglass

Diverse Ways of Learning about Protest and Social Movements Through Student Dialogue

This educator guide presents culturally relevant and multicultural resources and activities that support teaching about protest. With its focus on contemporary art about protest, students in grades six through twelve will develop visual thinking skills that can be applied more broadly to recognize how meaning is constructed in images. This guide also offers interactive teaching strategies for advancing conversations about how peaceful protests can pave the way for structural changes in society and social accountability in the fight against racial injustices. Keywords: culturally relevant and multicultural curriculum, student dialogue, educator guide, contemporary art and social movements, ELA, humanitie

Lesiones de la mano y el pie (autopodium) en caballos utilizados para la práctica de actividades ecuestres

El trabajo tuvo como objetivos determinar las principales regiones anatómicas del autopodium afectadas por lesiones osteo-mio-articulares en caballos utilizados en la práctica de actividades ecuestres y evaluar la efectividad de la técnica quirúrgica artroscópica y el tratamiento conservativo para su recuperación. Se realizó en los centros equinos Springhead Farms, Waterhall Polo y Bixie’s en la isla de Barbados, donde se evaluaron 130 equinos con afecciones músculoesqueléticas del autopodium, y se determinó la subregión o miembro que resultó más afectado, así como la posible vinculación entre la ocurrencia de estas alteraciones y las características anatómicas de la región. Se observó que en los caballos de carrera, la región anatómica con mayor cantidad de lesiones fue el carpo (carpus) de la extremidad derecha, con valores que difieren significativamente (P < 0,05) cuando se les compara con el miembro izquierdo. Por su parte, en los equinos destinados a la práctica de polo y los saltos con obstáculos no se observan diferencias significativas sobre el miembro más propenso a lesionarse. Las respuestas de recuperación de los animales lesionados alcanzan, en todos los casos, buenos resultados, y no se aprecian diferencias significativas a favor de uno u otro tratamiento, por lo que ambos pueden ser utilizados indistintamente.ABSTRACTThe objectives of this research were to determine the autopodium principal anatomic regions affected by osteo-myo-articular lesions in horses involved in equestrian sports and evaluate the effectiveness of two treatments for lesion recovery, i.e., the arthrostropic surgical treatment and a conservative treatment. The study was carried out at the horse breeding stations Springhead Farms, Waterhall Polo, and Bixie’s in Barbados. One hundred thirty horses suffering from autopodium muscu-loskeletal disorders were examined to determine the most affected limb and the possible association of these disorders with anatomical region features. Concerning racing horses, the high prevalence of lesions on the right limb carpus significantly differed (P < 0,05) from the number of lesions observed on the left limb carpus. On the other hand, horses involved in polo and jumping with obstacles did not show significant differences regarding a tendency toward lesions on either limb. No significant differences favoring a treatment of choice were found; in all cases, lesioned horses were positively responsive to recovery. Therefore, both treatments can be equally applied

The construction of masculinities and femininities in the Church of England:the case of the male clergy spouse

The ordination of women to the priesthood in the Church of England in 1994 signified great change. The impact of the new priests was well documented, and their integration became the focus of much research in the following years. One important area of change was the altered dynamics of gender identity. New roles had opened up for women, but new identities had also emerged for men. While women priests were a new historical emergence, so too were clergy husbands. This paper will consider the historical construction of masculinities and femininities within the church and will go on to look at this in the context of clergy spouses, specifically focusing on men occupying this role. Some provisional findings, acting as work in progress, will be considered

Knowledge, attitudes and practice of healthcare ethics and law among doctors and nurses in Barbados

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices among healthcare professionals in Barbados in relation to healthcare ethics and law in an attempt to assist in guiding their professional conduct and aid in curriculum development. METHODS: A self-administered structured questionnaire about knowledge of healthcare ethics, law and the role of an Ethics Committee in the healthcare system was devised, tested and distributed to all levels of staff at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Barbados (a tertiary care teaching hospital) during April and May 2003. RESULTS: The paper analyses 159 responses from doctors and nurses comprising junior doctors, consultants, staff nurses and sisters-in-charge. The frequency with which the respondents encountered ethical or legal problems varied widely from 'daily' to 'yearly'. 52% of senior medical staff and 20% of senior nursing staff knew little of the law pertinent to their work. 11% of the doctors did not know the contents of the Hippocratic Oath whilst a quarter of nurses did not know the Nurses Code. Nuremberg Code and Helsinki Code were known only to a few individuals. 29% of doctors and 37% of nurses had no knowledge of an existing hospital ethics committee. Physicians had a stronger opinion than nurses regarding practice of ethics such as adherence to patients' wishes, confidentiality, paternalism, consent for procedures and treating violent/non-compliant patients (p = 0.01) CONCLUSION: The study highlights the need to identify professionals in the workforce who appear to be indifferent to ethical and legal issues, to devise means to sensitize them to these issues and appropriately training them
