Get PDFStudent partnership in creating an event: Benefits, challenges, and outcomes
Get PDFThis case study explores a partnership within an events management topic. Students were encouraged to take ownership over the creation and operation of an event held on the university campus. The topic lecturer provided guidance throughout the process and liaised with the students to define the assessment and the marking rubric for the event project. Research data was captured through two surveys—one during the event project and one after the event project was completed. The surveys captured quantitative and qualitative data about students’ perceptions on the benefits, challenges, and outcomes of this experiential learning experience. Survey findings indicated that communication and teamwork were key aspects that needed to be managed to effectively collaborate on the project. Classroom discussion and online communication tools were used to share ideas and information, and work towards the common goals of the event. Through this project, students developed their relationships with their peers and university staff and felt that they had a valuable learning experience that helped to connect theory with practice
Hicks on Sellars, Price, and the Myth of the Given
Get PDFIn a previous issue of this journal, Michael Hicks challenges my critique of Wilfrid Sellars’s arguments against the given and against the foundationalist epistemology that relies on the idea of a sensory given. I had argued that Sellars’s well-known claim that the given is a myth does not succeed because at a critical juncture he misconstrued sense-datum theorists such as Bertrand Russell and H. H. Price. In his response to my argument, Hicks makes the striking claim that Sellars was not targeting foundationalism at all in his discussion of the myth of the given. Hicks reconstructs a key argument in “Empiricism and thePhilosophy of Mind” (EPM) in a way intended both to avoid any reference to foundationalism and to do a more effective job than does Sellars’s original argument in uncovering a dilemma for traditional empiricism. The present paper challenges Hicks on two fronts. First, it argues that Hicks’s reconstruction is not more successful than Sellars’s original argument. Second, a review of relevant passages in makes clear that the critique of foundationalism is a prominent aspect of Sellars’s multi-faceted attack on the given. The conclusion reasserts the significance of Sellars’s place in the history of twentieth-century analytic philosophy

The Restoration House COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic: Challenging Systemic Racism and Ableism through Community Solidarity and Action
Get PDFThis paper reviews the advocacy efforts, community organizing, establishment, operation, and lessons learned from a project in Hamilton, Ontario to build the first-ever COVID-19 clinic for Black and other racialized people, people with disabilities, and those experiencing barriers to access COVID-19 vaccinations. Community advocates, academics, and health leaders who are from and serve Black and other racialized and marginalized groups in Hamilton responded to the overwhelming impacts of COVID-19 on marginalized Black and other racialized groups in Hamilton through relational solidarities that allowed for community members to lead the advocacy, design, and operation of a clinic to serve those most in need with the knowledge and expertise most capable of such an intervention. Amidst resistance of municipal and provincial officials to act for healthy equity, racist backlash, and problematic organizational and institutional responses to the needs of Black and other racialized community leaders, Restoration House clinic advocates and community leaders responded to the demand by maintaining focus on community through collective solidarities. The Restoration House example offers several contributions to how we think about community and public health advocacy, organizing, and operational interventions through crises and beyond.
Cet article passe en revue la campagne de revendication, les efforts d’organisation communautaire, la mise en place, le fonctionnement et les leçons tirées d’un projet mené à Hamilton, en Ontario, et visant à établir la toute première clinique COVID-19 pour les personnes Noires et racialisées, les personnes handicapées et celles qui rencontrent des obstacles à l’accès aux vaccinations COVID-19. Les défenseurs de la communauté, les universitaires et les dirigeants du secteur de la santé issus et au service des personnes Noires, racialisées ou marginalisées de Hamilton voulaient trouver une réponse adéquate aux effets disproportionnés de la COVID-19 sur les personnes Noires, racialisées ou marginalisées de Hamilton en utilisant les solidarités relationnelles qui ont permis aux membres de la communauté de diriger la revendication, la conception et les activités d’une clinique pour servir les personnes qui en ont le plus besoin avec les connaissances et l’expertise les plus à même de mener une telle intervention. Dans un contexte d’hésitation des autorités municipales et provinciales à agir résolument pour l’équité en santé, de réactions racistes et de réponses organisationnelles et institutionnelles défaillantes aux besoins des leaders de la communauté Noire et d’autres communautés racialisées, les défenseurs de la clinique Restoration House et les dirigeants communautaires ont répondu à la demande en maintenant l’accent sur la communauté par le biais de solidarités collectives. L’exemple de la Restoration House apporte plusieurs contributions à notre réflexion sur la défense des intérêts de la communauté et de la santé publique, l’organisation et les interventions opérationnelles en cas de crise et au-delà
