Queering Futures with Data-Driven Speculation: The design of an expanded mixed methods research framework integrating quantitative, qualitative, and practice-based modes
Get PDFQueering’ questions, unlearns, disrupts, and transforms approaches, expectations, and realities. Futures are time and change. The approach I have designed to operationalize Queering and futures, or Queering futures, is the Queering Futures Framework (QFF). The Queering Futures Framework (QFF) is a brand-new transdisciplinary research framework intersecting values, positionality, complexity, Queerness themes, and futures praxis. This framework expands traditional mixed methods research conventions by integrating quantitative, qualitative, and practice-based research modes and mindsets. The Queering Futures Framework (QFF) prototype presented in this dissertation functions as a test case and proof of concept. The prototype quantitative mode measures attitudes towards AI, and a qualitative mode explores impressions of mental time travel, AI, and futures. Within the culminating practice-based mode, signals identified in the quantitative results and qualitative findings are integrated and inform a new practice-based method, called data-driven speculation. I created data-driven speculation method to connect data and imagination. Readers are invited to adapt and iterate
How Vincent de Paul Celebrated Mass
Get PDFVincent de Paul had great concern for the celebration of Mass, so much so that it was mentioned specifically in the bull of establishment of the Congregation of the Mission. This concern existed especially because during his time not every priest had been trained to do it properly. This article describes the elements of Mass that were uniquely French and what we know of how Vincent himself celebrated it using descriptions from his biographers and information from a series of engravings published in Le Tableau de la Croix in 1651

Random Drug Testing of Physicians: A Question of Safety
Get PDFThe prospect of mandatory random drug testing of physicians in the U.S. has been the subject of active discussion for well over three decades.1 To this day, however, such programs remain the exception rather than the rule.2 In this paper, we examine the state of mandatory random drug testing of physicians in the U.S. and explore the future prospects thereof. It was a 1986 Executive Order (Drug-Free Federal Workplace) of President Reagan that saw to it that physicians in the employ of the federal government were to be subjected to mandatory random drug testing.3 This development was attributable to the edict that “the head of each Executive agency shall establish a program to test for the use of illegal drugs by employees in sensitive positions.”4 The aforementioned initiative was further expanded by the enactment of the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (DFWA) which required some federal contractors and all federal grantees to maintain drug-free workplaces as a precondition to receiving a federal grant or a contract. 5 Health care enterprises, many of which are federal grantees, were inevitably affected. It follows that the lion’s share of the federal physician workforce that is required to submit to mandatory random drug testing is deployed by the U.S. Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Health and Human Services (HHS)
