  • Black Music, Gender & Sexuality
    WGSS 391: Black Music, Gender & Sexuality Fumi Okiji [email protected] Tu/Th 10-11:15am Hasbrouck Laboratory, Room 130 Office hours: Tuesdays, 12-1:30pm, South College, W473 This course explores how black popular music cultures are shaped by performances and representations of gender and sexuality. The course will touch upon a number of themes including hip hop feminism, sex radicalism and camp, gender performativity and black masculinity. We will read music and film/video by artists such as Meshell Ndegeocello, Prince, Nicki Minaj, Bessie Smith and Beyonce as socio-historical texts that allow us access to an alternative source of knowledge supplementing the more theoretical. Students will be expected to build on their appreciation of black music to develop tools with which to critically engage with the expression, and with which to attend to the social, historical, performative and artistic complexes at play. This course fulfills critical race feminisms for UMass WGSS majors and minors. Offensive language and images You will be required to view, listen, think and talk about language, images and sounds that you might find offensive. This may include words and imagery that is sexist, homo- or transphobic, racist or obscene. It should go without saying that, I do not share or condone these words and actions. I do, however, believe that our engagement with these expressions is essential to an elucidation of the themes that underpin the course. It is important for each student to understand that by signing up to this course, you are agreeing to view and to listen to all material pertaining to it, regardless of its potentially offensive nature.

  • Informed Consent and Shared Decision Making in EBM
    3 Informed Consent and shared decision making in EBM 3.1 ‘Informed consent’ in regular medical practice ‘Consent’ as it is understood in the medical context has to be asked from the pa- tient and is the explicit agreement to waive a right to certain rules and norms which are normally expected in the treatment of other people and of ourselves as patients. Every surgical procedure would, without consent from the patient, be legally un- derstood as assault and battery and the physician could be prosecuted for perform- ing it. ‘Informed consent’ therefore in its most simple form means that the patient has received a good explanation about a medical procedure, understands what is happening to him or her and then can make an informed choice to accept or refuse, in the latter case the so called ‘informed refusal.167 In order to give ‘informed con- sent the patient has to be capable of understanding the information given by the physician. He or she must be competent to decide and to give consent voluntarily without being coerced by any means into giving consent.168 ‘Autonomy’ of the patient, hereby equated with ‘person’ plays the overarching role in ‘informed con- sent.’ A competent person who exercises autonomy will have the final say about their own life. ‘Autonomy’ itself is a contested term in the philosophy of science and interpretations therefore vary. According to Dworkin, “Liberty (positive or negative) ... dignity, integrity, individuality, independence, responsibility and self knowledge ... self assertion ... critical reflection ... freedom from obligation ... ab- sence of external causation ... and knowledge of one’s own interests.”169 all fall under the definition of autonomy.

    Eighth Annual Western Michigan University Medical Humanities Conference Conference Abstracts Hosted by the WMU Medical Humanities Workgroup and the Program in Medical Ethics, Humanities, and Law, Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine September 13-14, 2018 Our Sponsors: Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine, WMU Center for the Study of Ethics in Society, WMU Department of Philosophy Ethics After Error: Malpractice, Mistrust, and the Limits of Medical Moral Repair Ben Almassi, PhD Division of Arts & Letters Governors State University Abstract: One limitation of medical ethics modelled on ideal moral theory is its relative silence on the aftermath of medical error – that is, not just on the recognition and avoidance of injustice, wrongdoing, or other such failures of medical ethics, but how to respond given medical injustice or wrongdoing. Ideally, we would never do each other wrong; but given that inevitably we do, as fallible and imperfect agents we require non-ideal ethical guidance. For such non-ideal moral contexts, I suggest, Margaret Walker’s account of moral repair and reparative justice presents powerful hermeneutical and practical tools toward understanding and enacting what is needed to restore moral relationships and moral standing in the aftermath of injustice or wrongdoing, tools that might be usefully extended to medical ethics and error specifically. Where retributive justice aims to make injured parties whole and retributive justice aims to mete out punishment, reparative justice “involves the restoration or reconstruction of confidence, trust, and hope in the reality of shared moral standards and of our reliability in meeting and enforcing them.” Medical moral repair is not without its challenges, however, in both theory and practice: standard ways of holding medical professionals and institutions responsible for medical error and malpractice function retributively and/or restitutively, either giving benign inattention to patient-practitioner relational repair or impeding it.

  • Devil in the Grove Review
    CLSC BOOK REVIEW DEVIL IN THE GROVE BY GILBERT KING REPORTED BY MICHAEL J. GELFAND MONDAY JULY 6, 2015 How could this happen in America? It could not happen again, thank God? Two years ago, those were initial reactions to Gilbert King’s Pulitzer Prize winning history entitled Devil in the Grove. Why? Gilbert King writes of crimes in Groveland, Florida. These are in large part capital crimes. Accusations of rape that led to the death penalty. I could rhetorically state: what’s new? Before I proceed, please allow me a diversion, to shout: IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK AT CHAUTAUQUA! I have spoken from podiums, pulpits, bimas, risers, sidewalks and couches. The bucolic venues at Chautauqua are the most magnificent. The CLSC tradition on the Alumni Hall porch and lawn is splendid. Your consistent attention is amazing and appreciated, giving up your lunch hour on this busy day, between other lecturers who are truly outstanding. Thus, it is a special honor to return to this porch of literary and scientific renown yet another time, for which I extend my gratitude and appreciation to Jeff Miller. Jeff should be congratulated not just for his choice of speakers, but also for every year painstakingly dedication to the core principles of the CLSC, ensuring that our summers will challenge our minds and souls. Publication The CLSC teaches us to undertake critical analysis of the world around us and our communal and individual roles which are core Chautauquan values. As a side note, if literary criticism is an interest, then I urge you to seek out Mark Altshuler, and participate in his 16 year running Saturday Morning Short Story Discussion Course, a gem because it provides an intellectual tool, and charge to examine our roles, forcing us to forsake the witticisms of cable television’s talking heads, and to utilize the well tested tool of textual analysis, on Shabbat morning a secular typeFor of Torah study.

I opened my mouth, but instead of giving you words my throat was sealed by a dam of speechlessness while my eyes wept out all the emotions and heartache that I wanted to share with you. The others in my group were able to express their admiration, so I wanted to do the same.
