Research in the Name of Justice: Race and Revisiting the Purpose of Scholarly Inquiry
No full textThis session seeks to highlight challenges made to the research community regarding the realities of racism. As researchers and faculty members nationwide have dared to shift their approaches to scholarly inquiry, many of the attempts to address diversity, equity and inclusion concerns have been met with vitriol and retribution. Complicating notions of objective and value-free research, the presentation highlights tangible examples of research that are intentional and explicit in resisting the racist, colonial project of traditional academic inquiry

The Grave Barrier Reef
Get PDFThe Great Barrier Reef, located off the Northern East coast of Australia, has been experiencing significant levels of coral bleaching since 1998 when it experienced its first major bleaching. When water temperatures rise due to climate change, corals lose their bright colors and turn white. Once a coral is bleached, it becomes more vulnerable to other factors, increasing its chance of mortality. Greenhouse gas emissions have been seen to be one of the major factors that lead to climate change. The Australian and Queensland governments have put many different acts and policies into place to protect the Great Barrier Reef from dying at such a fast rate, and to try and decrease the greenhouse gas emissions that are released into the atmosphere.https://digitalcommons.salve.edu/glo100/1000/thumbnail.jp
Teamwork: The Strongest Virtue in Hospice
No full textProblem Statement: Teamwork within the end-of-life care team is vital to a patient experiencing a peaceful death. Limited information exists to help organizational leadership assess teamwork within this specialty. Purpose: Teamwork: The Strongest Virtue in Hospice aims to provide organizational leadership with a method to assess teamwork within the end-of-life care specialty. Methods: Quantitative information was gathered from surveying 70 end-of-life care nurses using the Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) Teamwork Perception Questionnaire (T-TPQ) (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ] 2010). Data collection occurred over six weeks and included demographic information on the primary work setting, time working as a nurse, and time working in the end-of-life care specialty. Descriptive statistics with the calculation of the central tendency of each of the five components in the T-TPQ survey and T-score analysis are used to analyze the results. Inclusion Criteria: Registered and licensed practical nurses on the end-of-life care team. Exclusion criteria included having worked less than sixteen hours a week for the last four weeks before taking the survey. Results: The T-TPQ survey is a valuable tool to assess teamwork within the end-of-life care specialty team. The end-of-life care team agrees that teamwork within the team is adequate to meet patient needs, rating leadership and mutual support stronger than situational monitoring and communication. Conclusion: This research provides organizational leadership with valuable information on the assessment of an end-of-life care team and a pathway to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the team

A Handbook for Overwhelmed Educators in a Post-trauma World: The Case for Incorporating the Expressive Arts into the High School ELA and Undergraduate College Writing Classrooms
No full textThe purpose of this study is to explain why trauma-informed expressive arts activities are an essential component of the English Language Arts (ELA) high school and undergraduate college writing classrooms, particularly in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to provide ELA teachers and undergraduate college writing instructors with practical, trauma-informed handbooks necessary to implement expressive arts in the classroom. Existing handbooks were examined, and a four-pronged criteria was developed to include: trauma-informed, adolescent, expressive art-based, and a handbook format. A meta-analysis was then conducted on four sample handbooks fitting this criteria utilizing the Constructivist Self-Development Theory (CSDT) as the defining lens. Knowledge generated from this study is expected to inform high school ELA teachers and undergraduate college writing instructors, as well as administrators at the high school and university levels

This session will explore these issues and includes a student’s perspective to help faculty learn how they can partner with students in this process
