Representation in Healthcare Matters: Perspectives on Inadequate Physician Diversity and Its Potential Impact on Minority Patients
Get PDFDisparities in access to healthcare among U.S. racial and ethnic groups, including access to quality services, have existed for centuries (Gibbons, 2005), leading to inequality in health outcomes as race/ethnicity intersects with gender and socioeconomic status (Wellons et al., 2009; Yan et al., 2023). Patients from minority communities face disadvantages due to the lack of diversity amongst physicians, including communication barriers, lack of trust, lesser rapport, and lower level of comfort with doctors who are non-representative of patients’ demographics (Ha & Longnecker, 2010; Lopez et al., 2023; Maldonado et al., 2014; Weech-Maldonado et al., 2003). It is important, then, to explore in this context the patient-physician relationship as it relates to health outcomes from a mixed methods approach. This honors thesis will – (1) explore the racial/ethnic representation amongst physicians using a descriptive statistical analysis of secondary data, (2) explore healthcare providers’ perspectives on issues of racial/ethnic representations through a qualitative analysis of interview data, and (3) begin to identify the association between racial/ethnic representation and patient health outcomes using descriptive statistical analysis of survey data. More specifically, I coded a sample of physicians who work within two healthcare systems in the State of Connecticut for diversity in race, sex, and language spoken (n=134). I then interviewed Connecticut College alumni who hold positions within the healthcare system about their perspectives on diversity in healthcare (n=10). Lastly, I surveyed Connecticut College undergraduate students to gain insight into patients’ perspectives on representation and health outcomes (n=77). Ultimately, this research project aims to better understand both patients’ and healthcare providers’ perspectives in a healthcare system with racial/ethnic disparities. The results suggest the need for more equitable representation in healthcare. Healthcare providers acknowledge there are gaps in diversity and are supportive of change to improve care for diverse patients. Patient experiences demonstrate disparity in the level of quality care sought by under-represented patients

Hutchinson Modern & Contemporary Internship (NYC Art Gallery)
No full textHutchinson Modern & Contemporary is an art gallery located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York. The gallery specializes in modern and contemporary art of the Americas from the 20th and 21st century with a focus on Latin American, Latinx, and Caribbean art and artists. Over the summer, I was tasked with multiple different duties throughout the gallery. I researched artists and created artist pages for the website whether it was for the upcoming artist exhibitions or potential exhibitions. I went through the online archives/database and organized it in relation to the physical works in storage and in the gallery. I manned the gallery by letting in guests, offering them postcards, giving them information about the gallery and the most recent exhibition. I found images of both artists and art pieces for the social media pages and created posts with captions

Framing the Action: A Director Constructs the Opening of García Lorca’s Bodas de sangre
No full textEl artículo comienza examinando las complejidades de la escritura teatral como trasfondo de los desafíos planteados a la hora de construir la puesta en escena de la obra de Federico García Lorca, Bodas de sangre. Primero, las obras se componen en clave teatral, haciendo uso de palabras que cumplen una función similar a la de la notación en un texto musical. En la partitura las notas de un compositor comunican los límites de la interpretación, tanto al músico como al director. En el caso de la palabra en un texto dramático el signo escrito tiene que cubrir más de lo que su pura identidad léxica pueda comunicar. Por la simple razón de que en la escritura teatral las palabras también tienen que contener gran parte de la información necesaria para su representación sobre las tablas, ya que el dramaturgo las idea para tal fin. Las palabras en un texto dramático, y no solo las acotaciones, deben transmitir al actor la expresión, tanto vocal como facial, así como los movimientos físicos que deben acompañarlos. En segundo lugar, se hace referencia al concepto de «estado de ánimo» [mood] o el ambiente creado en el escenario, para señalar un parámetro analítico que mide el progreso de la acción a medida que va desarrollándose, así como el efecto que produce en el espectador. Ampliando esta idea, se podría decir que el ambiente tenso de la apertura en Bodas, por ejemplo, evoca una cierta emoción en el espectador que el lector podría fácilmente hacer caso omiso.
The article begins by examining the complexities of theatrical writing as background to the challenges posed when constructing the staging of Federico García Lorca’s play, Bodas de sangre. First, plays are composed in a theatrical key, making use of words that fulfill a function similar to that of notation in a musical text. In the score a composer’s notes communicate the limits of interpretation, both to the musician and to the conductor. In the case of the word in a dramatic text the written sign has to cover more than what its pure lexical identity may communicate. For the simple reason that in theatrical writing the words also have to contain a large part of the information necessary for their performance on stage, since the playwright devises them for that purpose. Words in a dramatic text, and not just stage directions, must convey to the actor expression, both vocal and facial, as well as the physical movements that must accompany them. Secondly, reference is made to the concept of “mood” or the atmosphere created on stage, to point out an analytical parameter that measures the progress of the action as it develops, as well as the effect it produces on a spectator. Elaborating on this idea, it could be said that the tense atmosphere of the opening in Bodas, for example, evokes a certain emotion in the spectator that the reader could easily ignore
