  • LGBTQIAP+ ETIQUETTE GUIDE and GLOSSARY of TERMS Co-Authored by Luca Pax, Queer Asterisk and the Vibrant Staff (2016, 2017)
    LGBTQIAP+ ETIQUETTE GUIDE and GLOSSARY OF TERMS Co-authored by Luca Pax, Queer Asterisk and The Vibrant Staff (2016, 2017). www.queerasterisk.com www.bevibrant.com Sex, gender, and sexuality can be complicated subjects, and are deeply personal. Sex is comprised of our primary and secondary sex characteristics, anatomy, and chromosomes, and is separate from gender identity or expression. Gender identity can be described as an innermost understanding of self, and gender expression is how we embody or communicate who we are to the world. Sexual orientation is who we choose to be close with, and how. Sex does not always inform gender, and gender does not always inform sexuality. None of these categories exists solely on a continuum of male to female, or masculine to feminine, and people have non-binary genders and sexualities, as well as intersex, agender, and asexual identities. People with sex, gender, or sexuality identities that dominant society regards as “normative,” i.e. male or female, cisgender, or heterosexual, may have not actively thought much about how they define or claim their identities, because they have not had to. Many people whose identities are marginalized by society experience erasure and invisibility because they are seen as non- normative. This glossary of terms related to sex, gender, and sexuality is neither exhaustive nor absolute. Language and concepts of identity are constantly evolving, and often differ amongst intersections of race, class, age, etc. Many of these terms, as well as the communities that use them are White-centered. Everyone has a right to self-define their identities and have access to validating terminology that others will use to respect who they are.

  • Medical Ethics in Peacetime and Wartime: the Case for a Better Understanding
    International Review of the Red Cross (2013), 95 (889), 189–213. Violence against health care doi:10.1017/S1816383113000775 Medical ethics in peacetime and wartime: the case for a better understanding Vivienne Nathanson Vivienne Nathanson qualified in medicine at the University of London in 1978. She is Director of Professional Activities at the British Medical Association, and is responsible for public health, human rights, medical ethics, international affairs, medical education, and many other areas. She writes and lectures extensively on ethics, human rights, and public health, contributing chapters to books and e-learning resources on the same areas. She is currently an honorary Professor in the School for Health at the University of Durham. She was recently called as an expert witness to the public enquiry into the death in UK custody of Baha Mousa, and to the public enquiry into the use of contaminated blood products in Scotland (the Penrose Enquiry). Abstract Health-care workers face ethical dilemmas in their decision-making in every clinical intervention they make. In times of armed conflict the decisions may be different, and the circumstances can combine to raise ethical tensions. This article looks at the tensions in peacetime and in times of armed conflict and examines the types of cases that doctors and other health-care workers will face. It also discusses the common ethical decision-making framework and the role of communication within both clinical care and ethical analysis. © icrc 2014 189 V. Nathanson Keywords: ethical dilemma, ethical analysis, decision making, consent, confidentiality, communication, trust. Health-care workers worldwide follow the same ethical codes and principles, developed to protect patients from abuse and to make clear the limits that those professionals will apply to their decision-making.

Criteria for approval of research studies within the district include the following: The research study should: a. Have the potential of immediate or ultimate value to the district. Research which offers no apparent benefit to the district at some level cannot be supported. b. Not disrupt or significantly interfere with student instructional duties and teaching or other staff duties. c. Be devoid of any procedure or element that might cause confusion, or interfere with student learning. d. Avoid duplication of existing data or literature and address relevant educational problems or issues. 2. In addition, the following guidelines must be met: a. Proposed research should be acceptable to the local community. Research which may be perceived as infringing on privacy, wasteful of money or resources, destructive or inhumane, or detrimental to community values would be unacceptable. b. The researcher must agree in writing to follow district procedures in conducting research. c. The district reserves the right to withhold permission to conduct research within the district. Further, the district may at any time terminate, disallow, or disapprove of any research or research procedure involving district personnel, students, or other district resources. d.

This unprecedented rapid adjustment has come with many unexpected difficulties as neither faculty nor students were prepared to teach or learn virtually, respectively. Beyond the obvious challenges of converting course material and accessing resources, an invisible difficulty lies in the lack of social expectations for this unfamiliar environment.

  • Gender Diversity and Pronouns
    Gender Diversity and Pronouns Overview The following content and linked resources have been curated as a primer for instructors to better meet the needs of transgender and non-binary students. This resource is broken into three sections: 1) Why Pronouns Matter 2) Making Mistakes 3) Making Your Classroom More Inclusive of Trans Students Potentially unfamiliar vocabulary is in bold text. Goals 1) To explain why respecting your students’ gender identities matters. 2) To familiarize instructors with trans-inclusive language and appropriate comportment to model for their students. 3) To assist instructors in creating a safe and inclusive environment for transgender students. 4) To provide concrete resources for instructors to implement in their course and syllabus design. Implementation These resources are best reviewed before the planning phase of course design, so the instructor has ample time to consider how they will implement trans inclusive pedagogy in addition to working through any discomfort they may have in advance. Some of the resources can be used as content in class. Challenges 1) Because we have grown up learning to gender people based on internalized visual and cultural norms, it takes a great deal of intentional practice to stop relying on norms in the ways we gender the people we encounter. You will make mistakes along the way, but you will make fewer mistakes with practice. 2) While mistakes are a normal part of the process, those mistakes can still cause harm. Spend time thinking through how to respond when you make mistakes that will best limit the harm to misgendered students. 3) It is common to get defensive when we are asked to change the way we speak, act, or think, especially when it is something as foundational to our worldview and self-view as gender often is.

    theFrumiGroup 27 Powers of Persuasion Simple Strategies to Seduce Audiences & Win Allies Notes by Frumi Rachel Barr, MBA, PhD. Author: Chris St. Hilaire with Lynette Padwa Publisher: Prentice Hall Copyright year: 2010 ISBN: 978-0-7352-0451-5 Authors’ Bios: Chris St. Hilaire is an award-winning message strategist who has developed communication programs for some of the nation’s most powerful corporations, legal teams, and politicians. The first marketer in the courtroom, Chris is the founder of Jury Impact, a national jury consulting firm, and M4 Strategies, a California-based messaging firm that specializes in influencing public policy. Lynette Padwa is a bestselling author with more than 20 years' experience in publishing. In addition to writing her own books, she has collaborated with experts from the fields of business, entertainment, motivational speaking, psychology, the law, health, parenting, hospitality, and more. Author’s big thought: This book offers an entirely new philosophy of communication. True persuasion is not about arm-twisting or out-maneuvering your adversary. True persuasion is the creation of consensus from conflict or indifference. It’s about taking an idea or a course of action and creating unity of purpose. Using current examples ranging from the Obama campaign to KFC, from Starbucks to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim—each chapter of the book offers clear, actionable ways to position your viewpoint as the winning one while also respecting the other side. Rather than turning the situation into “us versus them,” the book offers tactful ways to make the opposition feel valued, not threatened. Running counter to conventional wisdom about power in the workplace, the strategies are insightful, inclusive, and extraordinarily effective.
