Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book Race Gender and Political Representation written by Beth Reingold and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2021 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who gets elected? Who do they represent? What issues do they prioritize? Does diversity in representation make a difference? Race, Gender, and Political Representation thinks differently about identity politics in the United States. It is not about women's representation or minority representation; it is about how race and gender interact to affect the election, behavior, and impact of all individuals - raced women and gendered minorities alike. By putting women of color at the center of the analysis and re-evaluating traditional, one-at-a-time approaches to studying the politics of race or gender, the authors demonstrate what an intersectional approach to identity politics can reveal. With a wealth of original data on the presence, policy leadership, and policy impact of Black women and men, Latinas and Latinos, and white women and men in state legislative office in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, each chapter shows how the politics of race, gender, and representation are far more complex than recurring "Year of the Woman" frameworks suggest. An array of race-gender similarities and differences are evident in the experiences, activities, and accomplishments of these state legislators. Yet one thing is clear: the representation of those marginalized by multiple, intersecting systems of power and inequality is intricately bound to the representation of women of color"--

This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black women’s marginalized experience has often superseded their impact at their respective workplaces.

Black Women’s Formal and Informal Ways of Leadership discusses how Black women’s pedagogies shape their navigation through life through formal and informal leadership roles. It empowers the various voices of Black women and challenges the idea of who we look at as leaders.

Download or read book Race Gender and Leadership written by Patricia S. Parker and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-09-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about a model of leadership that emphasizes women's values and experiences, that is in some ways distinct from male models of leadership. This book redirects the focus to a view of leadership as a multicultural phenomenon that moves beyond dualistic notions of "masculine" and "feminine" leadership, and focuses more specifically on leadership as the management of meaning, including the meanings of the notion of "organizational leader." This volume focuses on leadership "traditions" revealed in the history of Black women in America and exemplified in the leadership approaches of 15 African American women executives who came of age during the civil rights and feminist movements of the 1960's and 1970's and climbed to the top of major U.S. organizations. It advances a vision of organizational leadership that challenges traditional masculine and feminine notions of leadership development and practice, providing insights on organizational leadership in the era of post-industrialization and globalization. Additionally, by placing African American women at the center of analysis, this book provides insights into the ways in which race and gender structure key leadership processes in today's diverse and changing workplace. It is a must-read for scholars and researchers in organizational communication, management, leadership, African American studies, and related areas.
Download or read book Unequal Treatment written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-10-02 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior are analyzed. How to intervene? Unequal Treatment offers recommendations for improvements in medical care financing, allocation of care, availability of language translation, community-based care, and other arenas. The committee highlights the potential of cross-cultural education to improve providerâ€"patient communication and offers a detailed look at how to integrate cross-cultural learning within the health professions. The book concludes with recommendations for data collection and research initiatives. Unequal Treatment will be vitally important to health care policymakers, administrators, providers, educators, and students as well as advocates for people of color.

Download or read book Women of Color in STEM written by Julia Ballenger and published by IAP. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women of Color in STEM: Navigating the Workforce is an opportunity for making public the life stories of women of color who have persevered in STEM workplace settings. The authors used various critical theories to situate and make visible the lives of women of color in such disciplines and workplace contexts like mathematics, science, engineering, NASA, academia, government agencies, and others. They skillfully centered women and their experiences at the intersection of their identity dimensions of race, class, gender, and their respective discipline. While the disciplines and career contexts vary, the oppression, alienation, and social inequities were common realities for all. Despite the challenges, the women were resilient and persevered with tenacity, a strong sense of self as a person of color, and reliance on family, community, mentors, and spirituality. While we celebrated the successes, it is critical that organizational leaders, whether in education or other workplace settings, draw from narratives and counter?narratives of these women to improve the organizational climate where individuals can thrive, despite their racial, class and gender identity. This book will assist educational communities, professional communities, and families to understand their roles and responsibilities in increasing the number of women of color in STEM.

Download or read book The Intersectionality of Race and Gender on African American Women in Higher Education Leadership Positions written by Arlanda J. Williams and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, research suggests that African American women are disproportionately represented in higher education leadership positions. There have been few studies that provide insight into the actual barriers African American women face as they climb the leadership ladder to senior level positions in higher education. The purpose of this qualitative research was to document the lived experiences and identify barriers during their ascension to leadership positions in higher education. This research used purposeful sampling and recruited ten African American women in the states of Louisiana and Mississippi, who either hold/held positions as Chancellors/Presidents, Vice Chancellors/Vice Presidents, Provost/Associate Provost, and deans. Eight of these women were a part of a historical Black college or university, and the other two were in predominately Black serving institutions. The research utilized a phenomenological approach, incorporated the central research questions, and examined findings utilizing two theoretical frameworks: feminism and black feminism in two southern states, Louisiana and Mississippi, where the women obtained leadership positions in higher education. Data gathered in this research was examined utilizing thematic analysis to identify codes and themes in the responses of research respondents. The findings show that, although race and gender will remain an issue for African American women, professional development opportunities and mentorship are critical to attaining these positions. These findings contribute to past scholarly research acknowledging the experiences, professional development, professional association, and mentorship of African American women in their ascension to higher education leadership positions. The research should provoke change in policies that govern institutions of higher education by encouraging state officials in the Department of Education.
