This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal people comprise a large percentage of admissions to the Health Sciences Centre, an 850-bed tertiary care teaching hospital in Winnipeg. Issues such as the perception of systemic and individual discrimination have come up at the hospital in the past decades. The objective of this study was to develop an in-depth understanding of the current urban hospitalization experience of Aboriginal patients on medical, surgical and rehabilitation wards. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were done, both in English and in Ojibway with patients who self-identified as Aboriginal. As directed by key informants, the areas explored included communication, family involvement, discharge planning, and racism. Interview data was analyzed, coded and categorized and emerging themes were corroborated with the key informants. A case study of Aboriginal people's involvement at the hospital was done also, in particular looking at the outcome of a 1992 report on Aboriginal services. Important themes to emerge from the interviews were control, and endurance. Racism, separation from both family and community, and communication problems were frequent concerns. Many patients lacked knowledge about the Aboriginal Services Department, with few interpreter-caseworkers involved with patients. Increased utilization of the Aboriginal Service Department's interpreter-caseworkers as patient advocates and promotion of the hospital's cultural awareness workshops could contribute to resolving some of the problems described by patients. The partial fulfillment of the 1992 'Report of the Aboriginal Services Review Committee' recommendations, including increased Aboriginal representation in employment and governance at the hospital may point to inherent difficulties in resolving such issues or to systemic discrimination towards Aboriginal people. Leadership at the highest corporate levels will be needed to ensure they are implemented so that Aboriginal people can feel well served in the Winnipeg health care system.

Download or read book Conflict Transformation Peacebuilding and Storytelling written by Laura E. Reimer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves as an important link between conflict resolution practice and education by providing research from the unique perspective and approach of the Arthur V. Mauro Centre for Peace and Justice, one of the world’s leading academic programs for PACS research: storytelling, peacebuilding, and conflict transformation. Each chapter presents original research in critical issues in the field of PACS, and provides recent research for the future development of the field and the education of its practitioners and academics. The book has a wide audience targeting students at the undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate levels. It also extends to those working in and leading community conflict resolution efforts as well as humanitarian aid workers. Exploring the issues facing the field provides a means by which academics, students, and practitioners can develop theory, practice, pedagogy, and methodology to confront the complexity of contemporary conflicts while expanding opportunities for future research and practice. Contributors to the book are recognized scholars and practitioners in their respective fields. The authors’ take a holistic approach to the study, analysis, and resolution of conflict at the personal, interpersonal, societal and cultural levels. The book is a retrospective of the Mauro Centre and through its content, explores the roots of a major contributor to PACS scholarship. The scholarship represents those who come to the PACS field with a diversity of ideas, approaches, disciplinary roots, and topic areas, which speaks to the complexity, breadth, and depth needed to apply and take account of conflict dynamics and the goal of peace. This book reflects the unique model and approach of the Arthur V. Mauro Centre for Peace and Justice at the University of Manitoba in central Canada: conflict transformation, peacebuilding, and storytelling. Based in the doctoral theses and in celebration of the first decade of Canada’s only doctoral program in PACS, this volume, co-edited by three of the graduates of the program and written by colleagues, presents and explores a number of these issues while presenting new and leading research across the broad spectrum of Peace and Conflict Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking Our Place tells the story of Aboriginal education and the Koori Centre at the University of Sydney. Within its short history, the university has embodied both the virtues and vices of Australia's public attitudes to Indigenous people. The university's early teaching and research focused on Aboriginal people as ethnographical specimens, a race frozen in time. This is the first account of struggles and outcomes arising from the engagement of Indigenous people with a tertiary institution in Australia.

Download or read book Unhealthy Health Policy written by Merrill Singer and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2004-09-17 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection turns a critical anthropological eye on the nature of health policy internationally. The authors reveal that in light of prevailing social inequalities, health policies may intend to protect public health, but in fact they often represent significant structural threats to the health and well being of the poor, ethnic minorities, women, and other subordinate groups. The volume focuses on the 'anthropology of policy,' which is concerned with the process of decision-making, the influences on decision-makers, and the impact of policy on human lives. This collaboration will be a critical resource for researchers and practitioners in medical anthropology, applied anthropology, medical sociology, minority issues, public policy, and health care issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The women's health movement shocked and scandalised when it burst into Australian politics in the early 1970s. It cast the light of day onto taboo subjects such as sexual assault, abortion and domestic violence, provoking outrage and condemnation. Some of the services women created for themselves were subjected to police raids; sex education material was branded 'indecent'. Moreover, women dared to criticise revered institutions, such as the medical system. Yet for all its perceived radicalism, the movement was part of a much broader and relatively conventional international health reform push, which included the 'new' public health movement, the community health centre movement and, in Australia, the Aboriginal health movement, all of which were critical of the way medical systems had been organised during the 20th century. The women who joined the movement came from diverse backgrounds and included immigrant and refugee women, Aboriginal women and Anglo women. Initially, groups worked separately for the most part but as time went on, they found ways to cooperate and collaborate. This book presents an account of the ideas, the diverse and shared efforts and the enduring hard work of women's health activists, drawn together in one volume for the first time. This relentless activism gradually had an impact on public policy and slowly brought forth major attitudinal changes. The book also identifies the opportunities for health reform that were created along the way, opportunities which deserve to be more fully embraced.
