In Class Activity 2/22

 

  1. I am interested in where race, oppression, and  public health bump into each other.
  2. Here are some of the search terms I’m finding productive in this quest: Race, class, oppression, public health, and death are some of them.
  3. Here is an article I’ve found at this intersection (include title, author, place of publication, not just a url): Critical Race Theory, Race Equity, and Public Health: Toward Antiracism Praxis, by Ford, Chandra L, PhD; Airhihenbuwa, Collins O, PhD, published in the American Journal of Public Health.
  4. In this article, research is constantly working through it to explain their theories by using sources through borrowing and extending. Many of their sources used in the beginning of the piece comes from sources of research that go against their argument. They then put their own spin to the source and drags it right back around to their personal research and thoughts by extending the source with their own theories. By the end of the piece, they authorize and borrow from research to further prove their chosen theory for the piece.

In-Class Activity 2/22

  1. I am interested in how end-of-life care is viewed by family members. Once their loved one is gone are they happy with how they were taken care of? Was it hospice care or in a hospital or both? What factors lead them to decide if it was a “good” death or “bad” death?
  2. Search Terms: end-of-life care, hospice care, public health, good death, bad death
  3. Here is an article titled Family Perspectives on Aggressive Cancer Care Near the End of Life. It was published in Boston, MA in the Journal of the American Medical Association and has multiple authors.
  4. The authors use many testimonials where they interviewed a close friend of family member of the deceased patient about their experiences. This has a few different purposes depending on what was said in the interview. This is an example of both illustrating and contextualizing. If you compile all of the results you get statistics on end-of-life care, but if you look at it individually and use certain stories the person’s experience is being illustrated to the reader.

  1. I’m interested in where these issues/conversations bump into each other: [name those conversations–i.e. public health and social class and end-of-life]
  • I am interested in how public health and hospice care go hand in hand. After going to Francis House two weeks ago, I wanted to learn more about hospice care/ end of life treatment for patients. I noticed the environment was very different from a typical hospital. It would be interesting to know reasons why people end up in hospice care and why end of life treatment is important for both the patients and families. Additionally, because I am an econ major, I am interested to see if hospice care is better off economically compared to the other methods of dealing with end of life care.
