Ethical considerations in LGBTQI+ clinical care
Get PDFMuch recent attention has focused on the emerging area of LGBTQI+ health care and evidence-based best practices for professionals providing physical and mental health services to clients from this community. Advocacy and politics have also received a great deal of press attention that might impact the delivery of much needed professional health care services. Issues related to non-binary, transgender, and gender affirming health care have received perhaps the most attention and can be polarizing in some communities with politicians and state legislators weighing in and micromanaging access to available treatment as well. Psychologists and other health care professionals must be able to provide evidence-based best practices for those with whom they work that are always ethically grounded. Providing quality and ethically sound clinical health services in a rapidly changing and sometimes controversial area of work can be challenging. The purpose of this article is to highlight the primary ethical issues associated with psychological treatment of LGBTQI+ clients that highlight the need for vigilant attention to matters involving informed consent, avoiding harm, maintaining competence, offering respect, and being mindful of justice issues in providing quality health care services to LGBTQI+ clients and their loved ones
Mosaicos de la Comunidad (Mosaics of the Community): Community-Engaged Participatory Muraling with Madres Emprendedoras
Get PDFIn this paper, we describe a collaborative community-based research project that centered on community members’ lived experiences, which led to the identification of key community issues that resulted in a representative art project in the form of a public mural. Eleven mothers who were long-time residents of the community were the drivers of the issue identification and mural creation. The issues identified, and subsequently depicted in the mural, revealed the importance of the environment in neighborhoods, with residents dealing with encampments, illegal dumping, prostitution, eviction, and gentrification. In the mural Mosaicos de la Comunidad (Mosaics of the Community), a group of madres (mothers) sought to emphasize their shared admiration of art as a form of remembrance of ample food, clean air, and beautiful spaces to live and raise their children. Drawing from the madres’ reflections and written testimonials, this paper describes the collective mural-making process; moving from research-based issues identified by the madres into the mural design stage, including the identification of symbols and their meanings, to the creation and painting, and the culmination with a mural-unveiling celebration. The paper ends with a description of the value of community-based art as a form of resistance and as a reminder to concretize the environmental justice issues and values that are central to community members
Phipps, Charles, English, interviewed by
No full textOrdained in 1961, Charley arrived at Santa Clara University in 1965 after earning his doctorate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He served as chair of the English Department for many years, leaving a lasting impact on students and faculty alike. He spent his three sabbaticals in London (twice) and Oxford. In the spring of 1991, he lectured and tutored in American literature at Donetsk State University in Ukraine through the SCU-DSU Exchange Program. While living with a non-English-speaking family in the industrial city, known for coal mining and steel production, during the final months of the Soviet Union, Charley discovered nonverbal communication skills he never knew he had. “It’s amazing how much you can communicate when you don’t know the language,” he recalled. Now retired, Charley resides at the Sacred Heart Jesuit Center, occasionally visited by family and friends. Being back where he was ordained brings a sense of life coming full circle
Yee, Atom, Chemistry and Biochemistry, interviewed by
No full textIn this captivating interview, Dr. Atom Yee—beloved chemistry professor, historian, and master storyteller—shares the deeply personal and powerful journey that shaped his life and career. From his early childhood in New Mexico to the complex history of his family in China, Dr. Yee sets the stage for a life defined by curiosity, conviction, and resilience. He explains the significance of his unique name, and it is not just scientific. Without giving too much away, his name has an amazing meaning rooted in the history of China’s struggles and eventual peace. It\u27s a symbol of his family’s history, which carries into Dr Yee’s identity and character. His journey in academia was not easy either. After graduating from Yale, Dr. Yee faced the Vietnam War draft, where he ultimately secured conscientious objector status in an unprecedented way before beginning his Ph.D. at UC Santa Cruz. At Santa Clara University, he dedicated himself to teaching chemistry in a way that made students care. He also participated as a guinea pig in the university’s pilot program for research (Junior Faculty Development), which led to SCU becoming a research university! Dr Yee transformed how chemistry was taught—placing learning, not just instruction, at the center. Known for his ability to make students feel truly seen, Dr. Yee’s presence in the classroom left a lasting mark on many, including me, Sadie Strelow (‘25), who was lucky enough to have him as my freshman year professor. His wisdom, humor, and heart shine through in every story—this is an interview you have to tune into
Nathan, Lawrence, Chemistry, interviewed by
No full textIn this insightful interview, Dr. Larry Nathan shares the story of his 33-year tenure at Santa Clara University, where he was not only a foundational member of the Chemistry Department but also a driving force behind major institutional change. When he was hired in 1970, he became just the fifth faculty member in the department, and over the years, he helped expand and modernize both the curriculum and the campus itself. He taught what may have been the largest class in SCU history—303 students in the late 1970s—led the $3.5 million renovation of Daly Science 100 in 1994, and published scientific research with nearly 20 undergraduate students. He also played a critical role in university governance, serving on numerous faculty committees and helping to oversee the merger of the College of Science with the College of Humanities to form the College of Arts & Sciences.Perhaps most notably, Dr. Nathan spearheaded a complete overhaul of the university’s undergraduate grading system—but for him, grades were never the point. He was deeply passionate about bringing academic integrity to Santa Clara and reminded his students, time and time again, that they were in the classroom not to chase perfect grades but to engage deeply with learning and prepare themselves for life beyond the university. His focus on student growth, honesty, and intellectual curiosity left a lasting impression on countless Broncos. As he reflects with humility, humor, and clarity, Dr. Nathan offers a unique perspective on decades of change at SCU and the enduring values that should guide higher education. This is an interview full of wisdom, history, and heart—well worth a listen
Towards a New Indian Christology: Chalcedon, Panikkar and the Challenge of Indian Liberation
No full textThis dissertation, Towards a New Indian Christology: Chalcedon, Panikkar and the Challenge of Indian Liberation, presents the liberative dimension of the Christology of the Council of Chalcedon (451) despite a general tendency to dismiss its relevance in the Indian context. The project critically correlates the teachings of Chalcedon with the existing socio-cultural conditions and religious traditions in India. To this purpose, it uses Sarah Coakley\u27s retrieval of Chalcedon\u27s analogical dimension while bringing it into conversation with Raimon Panikkar\u27s theological framework and his retrieval of the Dharmic tradition.
The rise of Hindu nationalism, posing a threat to India’s secular fabric, calls for an inclusive society. To this end, the project argues that Chalcedonian Christology can serve as a resource to develop a society marked by interreligious fraternity, something I could call a Dharmic civilization. It also serves as a corrective to the discriminatory caste-based social stratification that plagues India and endorse satyagraha (non-violent means) towards harmonious living.
The kind of spiritual practice implied by Chalcedonian Christology is geared to the deification of the individual through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, involving an embodied approach to prayer. This can correct the patriarchal epistemology currently characterizing the Church, as well as its attendant gender bias. Gayatri ii April 23, 2025 Chakravorty Spivak\u27s theory of epistemic violence rightly guides the way for women to find their own voice, rather than merely being passive, and therefore to actively receive and disseminate the spiritual riches of the Church.
I argue that the Chalcedonian acknowledgment of the irreducible value of individual subjectivity, the transformative participation of all individuals in the divine, and their ultimate deification echoes the Advaitic religious experience that is articulated in the theological concept of sat-chit-ananda (being, consciousness, and bliss). The reality of sat-chit-ananda, which is the core of Panikkar’s non-dual vision, can reintroduce us to the cosmological dimension of Chalcedonian theology and spirituality. Finally, I claim then that a dialogue between Chalcedonian Christology and the Dharmic tradition can enrich Indian Christology, fostering dialogue with different religious traditions and cultures, as well as with individuals who are marginalized because of their gender or social location
