The Potential Impact of the Removal of a Middle Grades Licensure Band on Ohio’s Teacher Education Majors
No full textIn 1998 Ohio replaced a comprehensive Grades 1–8 teacher license with separate licenses for grades PreK-3 (comprehensive) and 4-9 (dual subject). This change allowed teacher candidates to develop a deeper understanding of the content, curriculum, instructional strategies, and assessment techniques specific to the grade levels and contents included in their licensures. Recent legislation (Ohio House Bill 33) contained a provision to replace the early and middle grade bands with a comprehensive PreK-8 license. In this article, we examine the potential impact of this legislative change through a detailed survey of preservice teachers, highlighting their concerns and the broader implications for teacher preparation in Ohio
Expanding Environmental Care Competencies for Future and Current Healthcare Providers
No full textThe multiple impacts of the environment on the health of populations can oftentimes be clouded by the daily care practices of healthcare providers. This case study describes an innovative graduate level elective course that uses a problem-based approach to apply evidence-based principles of environmental health to the care of populations. Initial implementation of the course, over two cohorts in 2023, had primarily second-degree undergraduate nursing students. Lessons learned included the necessity to provide peer-to-peer support for several of the graduate level assignments. Positive student outcomes included an expanded understanding of the three main content areas of the course: (1) how soil, air, and water must be considered in individual and population-centered care; (2) the impact of the design of the built and healthcare built environment; and (3) considerations of planetary health for sustainability and mitigation. Faculty outcomes included coaching of undergraduate students in this graduate course and the development of peer-to-peer mentoring activities
Implementing An Innovative Design Charrette: Creating Healing Environments for Clinicians and Patients’ Well-being
No full textClinicians, staff, patients, and visitors use the healthcare environment, and a deeper understanding of spatial elements that promote their well-being is necessary. However, clinical and academic nursing does not naturally fit within the field of architectural design and planning. A design charrette, an interactive and innovative approach for faculty, staff, and clinicians, offers participants a chance to be creative in merging evidence-based practice with evidence-based design principles to aid in well-being. This educational brief outlines the process and outcomes of spaces that promote well-being and restoration. The design example presented is a restorative space in a clinical unit. We describe the methods of this teaching experience and highlight the application of a design charrette for a clinical unit

Gender and Rural Policing: Lack of Opportunities for Male Police Constables in Rural Police Departments in Trinidad and Tobago
No full textWithin the past two decades, there has been increased research interest in rural policing on a global level. While most of those studies were oriented in the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia, there is a slowly growing corpus of literature on rural policing in the Global South, including the Caribbean. Most of the studies on rural policing have examined rural policing in the context of domestic violence, mental health, administration of justice, conditions of employment, and female issues. Unfortunately, most of these scholarly efforts have not examined male police officers as a distinct group. As conjecture and media reports suggest that male police officers in rural locales in Trinidad and Tobago are treated indifferently, the current research effort presents data gathered from thirteen male police constables attached to rural police stations on the island. This research aims to understand whether this group of police officers suffer from lack of opportunities due to the rural location of their police stations. Three themes: (1) lack of access, (2) fathering/parenting challenges, and (3) favouritism, emanated from the data. Several forms of opportunities that are for male police officers attached to rural police stations in Trinidad and Tobago also emanated from the data and these are presented and discussed

The Darker Side of Rural Masculinity: Second and Third Order Impacts of Low Help-Seeking Behavior Following the Trauma of Victimisation
No full textIt is recognised by researchers globally that crime in the rural space is lower than the urban equivalent. This is not always the lived experience of rural communities, despite the reporting of crime being low. The issue of rural masculinity potentially plays a key role in the likelihood of rural victims reporting a crime to the police. However, it is argued that the same factor influences the failure of rural victims to seek help for the trauma of victimisation, leading to second and third impacts associated with becoming a victim of rural crime. This exploration of the issue of rural masculinity delves into the wider impact it has on crime experiences, crime reporting, and help-seeking post-victimisation. This discussion goes further to suggest that the persistence of rural masculinity could be creating a darker, more toxic rural masculinity that has a much broader impact on the wider rural communities. The question of whether this toxic rural masculinity is more widespread than initially thought is explored, as is the idea that those who exhibit this toxic machismo may be more likely to exhibit the control lost through victimisation in other ways. Recommendations are made for further research to address the questions raised
Deafness, Kinship, and Formal Possibility in Bollywood
No full textThis article focuses on two films in popular Hindi cinema (Bollywood) – Koshish and Barfi! – that put Deaf protagonists at the center of romantic comedies. It moves beyond typical studies of disability as a device of characterization and locates meaning instead in under-analyzed elements of filmic production. These include sound production, plot structure, and their unique entanglement in Bollywood through the picturized song-sequence. Songs pose a special challenge for stories about Deaf protagonists, one which Koshish treats as a problem requiring "accommodation," and Barfi addresses as an opportunity for "Deaf gain." At a deeper level, Bollywood "provincializes" some key assumptions within the primarily Eurocentric field of disability studies and its frequent association with another Eurocentric field, queer theory. While crip theory follows queer theory's opposition to the "reproductive" time of conjugality, this stance flattens differences between the two communities, and depends on a misunderstanding of what "reproduction" entails. Bollywood romantic comedies, by contrast, create a space to rethink disabled kinmaking. Here the films are reversed: Koshish, though older, offers a more radical negotiation of social reproduction, while Barfi! is somewhat more conventional in its imagined future for disabled families
