Download or read book Multiperspectival Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of the Rural HIV Care Continuum written by Christopher Robert Owens and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV is one of the ten significant public health issues in the United States, with more than 1 million Americans living with HIV. People living with HIV (PLWH) are expected to go through the HIV care continuum to manage their HIV. HIV social workers are the primary workforce to deliver HIV care continuum services. HIV care continuum research has three limitations. First, it overwhelmingly collects data on PLWH and HIV social workers who live in metropolitan cities rather than rural areas. Second, it examines one step in the continuum process rather than all the steps. Third, it collects data on either PLWH or HIV social workers rather than comparing these groups' experiences. Given these gaps and in collaboration with an AIDS service organization community partner, the purpose of this dissertation was to explore the lived experiences of the rural HIV care continuum among gay and bisexual men (GBM) living with HIV and HIV social workers who live in South Central and Southern Indiana. Data presented in this dissertation reflects three manuscripts. Manuscript I is an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) study of 15 rural HIV service providers' lived experiences working in the rural HIV care continuum. Manuscript II is an IPA study of the lived experiences of going through the rural HIV care continuum among 15 rural GBM living with HIV. Manuscript III is a multi-perspectival IPA study comparing the rural HIV care continuum experiences of HIV service providers and GBM living with HIV. Manuscripts provide future directions in research and programming for rural HIV care continuum.

Download or read book Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy written by Joe L. Kincheloe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-06-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a globalized neo-colonial world an insidious and often debilitating crisis of knowledge not only continues to undermine the quality of research produced by scholars but to also perpetuate a neo-colonial and oppressive socio-cultural, political economic, and educational system. The lack of attention such issues receive in pedagogical institutions around the world undermines the value of education and its role as a force of social justice. In this context these knowledge issues become a central concern of critical pedagogy. As a mode of education that is dedicated to a rigorous form of knowledge work, teachers and students as knowledge producers, anti-oppressive educational and social practices, and diverse perspectives from multiple social locations, critical pedagogy views dominant knowledge policies as a direct assault on its goals. Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction takes scholars through a critical review of the issues facing researchers and educators in the last years of the first decade of the twenty-first century. Refusing to assume the reader’s familiarity with such issues but concurrently rebuffing the tendency to dumb down such complex issues, the book serves as an excellent introduction to one of the most important and complicated issues of our time.

Download or read book Fundamental Concepts of Architecture written by Alban Janson and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture is an experience – with the intellect and with all our senses, in motion, and in use. But in order to actually discuss and assess it with relevance, a clarification of terms is essential in order to avoid the vagueness that often prevails when talking about architecture. This dictionary provides a vocabulary that allows the architecture discourse to go beyond the declaration of constructive relationships or the description of architectonic forms in familiar terms like “roof,” “base,” “wall,” and “axis” or “proportion”. The point is to describe the experience of architecture: how exactly does it contribute to the experience of a situation? For instance, the staging of an entrance situation, or the layout and visitor routes through a museum. From “context,” through “guidance,” “readability,” “patina,” “spatial structure,” “symmetry” and “tectonics,” to “width” (and “narrowness”) or “window,” the most important terms in architectural language are explained precisely and in detail.
Download or read book Borderscapes written by Prem Kumar Rajaram and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connecting critical issues of state sovereignty with empirical concerns, Borderscapes interrogates the limits of political space. The essays in this volume analyze everyday procedures, such as the classifying of migrants and refugees, security in European and American detention centers, and the DNA sampling of migrants in Thailand, showing the border as a moral construct rich with panic, danger, and patriotism. Conceptualizing such places as immigration detention camps and refugee camps as areas of political contestation, this work forcefully argues that borders and migration are, ultimately, inextricable from questions of justice and its limits.

Download or read book Teacher Education for Diversity written by Elizabeth Walton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foregrounding the diversity that characterises various educational settings, this book discusses how histories and geographies of oppression, exclusion and marginalisation have impacted on teacher education. Contributors draw on first-hand experiences of living and working in countries including Brazil, China, South Africa, New Zealand and Malawi. Positioned in a geographical and metaphorical ‘Global South’, the book draws critical attention to debates which have been otherwise marginalised in relation to those conducted in the ‘Global North’. Chapters address difference and diversity on both a conceptual and empirical level, acknowledging the significance of various global trends including increased migration and urbanisation; and broadening understandings of race, religion, gender, sexuality and dis/ability. Taken together, these chapters reveal the extent of the work which still remains to be done in the field of teacher education for diversity. The issues discussed are of global significance, making this text key reading for teachers, teacher educators, and those concerned with the advancement of social justice and reduction of inequality through education.

Download or read book Law Unlimited written by Margaret Davies and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book engages with a traditional yet persistent question of legal theory – what is law? However, instead of attempting to define and limit law, the aim of the book is to unlimit law, to take the idea of law beyond its conventionally accepted boundaries into the material and plural domains of an interconnected human and nonhuman world. Against the backdrop of analytical jurisprudence, the book draws theoretical connections and continuities between different experiences, spheres, and modalities of law. Taking up the many forms of critical and socio-legal thought, it presents a broad challenge to legal essentialism and abstraction, as well as an important contribution to more general normative theory. Reading, crystallising, and extending themes that have emerged in legal thought over the past century, this book is the culmination of the author’s 25 years of engagement with legal theory. Its bold attempt to forge a thoroughly contemporary approach to law will be of enormous value to those with interests in legal and socio-legal theory.
Download or read book International Handbook of Internet Research written by Jeremy Hunsinger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-17 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internet research spans many disciplines. From the computer or information s- ences, through engineering, and to social sciences, humanities and the arts, almost all of our disciplines have made contributions to internet research, whether in the effort to understand the effect of the internet on their area of study, or to investigate the social and political changes related to the internet, or to design and develop so- ware and hardware for the network. The possibility and extent of contributions of internet research vary across disciplines, as do the purposes, methods, and outcomes. Even the epistemological underpinnings differ widely. The internet, then, does not have a discipline of study for itself: It is a ?eld for research (Baym, 2005), an open environment that simultaneously supports many approaches and techniques not otherwise commensurable with each other. There are, of course, some inhibitions that limit explorations in this ?eld: research ethics, disciplinary conventions, local and national norms, customs, laws, borders, and so on. Yet these limits on the int- net as a ?eld for research have not prevented the rapid expansion and exploration of the internet. After nearly two decades of research and scholarship, the limits are a positive contribution, providing bases for discussion and interrogation of the contexts of our research, making internet research better for all. These ‘limits,’ challenges that constrain the theoretically limitless space for internet research, create boundaries that give de?nition to the ?eld and provide us with a particular topography that enables research and investigation.
