Building the future healthcare workforce

Area Health Educations Centers (AHECs) aim to expand the healthcare workforce, especially in rural and underserved areas likely to experience workforce shortages. The AHEC Scholars Program, a component of all AHECs nationally, supports health professions learners interested in rural/underserved practice through didactic curricul…

How to create conversations between Indigenous peoples in order to craft a message/voice in relation to developers? This article summarizes lessons learned from ‘Aashukan’ an Indigenous exchange organized on James Bay Cree lands, …

Mindfulness training improves middle school teachers’ occupational health, well-being, and interactions with students in their most stressful classrooms
Mindfulness training (MT) for teachers has become popular, yet gaps remain in our understanding of the time-course of the impacts of MT on teacher and classroom-outcomes; the generalizability of MT impacts on elementary versus secondary teachers; and how characteristics of teachers and schools may moderate the impacts of MT. In this randomized-controlled trial, we examine the near and longer-term impacts of the Mindfulness-Based Emotional Balance…
Move
Richard Kent Evans's MOVE: An American Religion operates on several levels vital to today's social and political discourse, both inside and outside the academic community. First, Evans asks the questions: What is a religion? What is theology? Who determines the legitimacy of a religious movement and its theological assertions? Second, MOVE examines police and state violence, most critically around the issue of the U.S. government's abuse of power…
Findings Associated With a Novel Program Designed to Support Indigenous Faculty Members of U.S. Health Professions Schools
Purpose: Recent studies on programs designed to support Indigenous faculty are lacking. Expanding numbers of successful Indigenous health faculty could help to improve delivery of culturally appropriate/responsive health care for Indigenous people. Methods: We enrolled nine American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) faculty participants in 2017 and 53 in 2018 in an Indigenous Faculty Forum (IFF). We provided instruction on academic advancement, address…
Hard-Fighting Soldiers
Edward J. Robinson's history of the African American experience in the Churches of Christ religious tradition clearly illustrates that African American Churches of Christ exist today solely because of systemic racism in American society. From the “flames of revivalism [that blazed] across the Kentucky frontier” in the summer of 1801, fueling the Second Great Awakening, descendants of enslaved Africans enthusiastically embraced the spiritual messa…
Science Communication Demands a Critical Approach That Centers Inclusion, Equity, and Intersectionality
We live in an era of abundant scientific information, yet access to information and to opportunities for substantive public engagement with the processes and outcomes of science are still inequitably distributed. Even with increasing interest in science communication and public engagement with science, historically marginalized and minoritized individuals and communities are largely overlooked and undervalued in these efforts. To address this gap…
Marcia Walker-McWilliams. Reverend Addie Wyatt
Marcia Walker-McWilliams correctly asserts in her fine study of trade unionist Addie Wyatt that “the role of black women as trade unionists and active members of the labor movement and their communities ... remains woefully understudied” (6–7). Reverend Addie Wyatt makes a valuable contribution toward filling this critical gap in labor movement scholarship. Not only does this book shine a strong spotlight on black women workers at the very center…
The Anticolonial Front
As part the Cambridge University Press series on Critical Perspectives on Empire, which explores the connections between national and global histories, John Munro's The Anticolonial Front examines the years 1945–1960, when "an intergenerational group of mostly Black radicals who inhabited the overlapping identities of intellectual, cultural worker, and labor activist," emerged in the United States and produced an "original and generative vision t…
The New Abolition
Thank goodness someone has finally identified one of the most significant and influential religious movements of the last century: the black Social Gospel. But what is more surprising is how Gary Dorrien, in The New Abolition, identifies it with the great civil rights activist and philosopher W. E. B. Du Bois, who is often dismissed as secular and antireligious. As the author states, Du Bois was not a godless intellectual removed from the biblica…

Schooling Closer to Home
This article uses census data, information collected by health and police departments, and GIS mapping software to analyze the neighborhood contexts surrounding schools in one Southern school district. When courts lifted Nashville’s desegregation order in 1999, the district agreed to implement a new student assignment plan geared toward neighborhood attendance and shorter bus rides—in short, schooling closer to home. The return to neighborhood sc…
A. Philip Randolph
A. Philip Randolph, founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, was one of the most effective black trade unionists in America. Once known as "the most dangerous black man in America," he was a radical journalist, a labor leader, and a pioneer of civil rights strategies. His protegé Bayard Rustin noted that, "With the exception of W.E.B. Du Bois, he was probably the greatest civil rights leader of the twentieth century until Martin Luther…
On the Way to Teaching as Letting Learn
Heidegger (1968), according to translator Gray, was above all else a teacher. He regarded teaching as an exalted activity, a craft that can only take place when the teacher is more teachable than the students
The Relationship between the Size of Joint Stock Companies and the Yield of Their Shares
The financial problems of the small firm have been a source of longstanding interest to economists. Usually, however, these problems have been discussed in terms of the cost of issuing capital, and small has been interpreted in a rather strict sense, perhaps an initial capital of less than ?250,000. It seems plausible to suppose, however, that if small firms are at a disadvantage in the capital market, this would show not only in high costs of ma…
