"While Alperin characterizes the shift in support among HCPs as gradual, he points to the arrival of the Apple Watch - the most recent model adds a feature that measures the saturation of oxygen in the user's blood - as "the biggest point of inflection." He notes that he has confirmed the accuracy of the watch's readings against EKGs performed in his office. And while that firsthand experience may be anecdotal, he believes it offers "one more piece of validation.""

With her radically compassionate approach to medicine, Dr. Victoria Sweet calls us to slow down in a world that loves quick fixes. In today's conversation, Kate and Victoria give us more language about what helps us all stay connected to the people we serve."

"What is Slow Medicine? In our fast-paced world, we often look for quick-fix solutions to our health challenges, not realizing that these "solutions" in fact may contribute to our problems. Most health challenges are the result of an imbalance in our bodies and lives, and most quick-fix solutions actually exacerbate these imbalances. If, instead, we take a Slow Medicine approach - identifying the root cause of our health challenges, then creating a thoughtful, step-by-step, and long-term response to it - we effectively bring ourselves back into balance. In doing so, we not only can resolve our primary complaints, but we also can benefit elsewhere in our lives, often in unexpected ways."

"Now more than ever, it's important to look boldly at the reality of race and gender bias -- and understand how the two can combine to create even more harm. Kimberlé Crenshaw uses the term "intersectionality" to describe this phenomenon; as she says, if you're standing in the path of multiple forms of exclusion, you're likely to get hit by both. In this moving talk, she calls on us to bear witness to this reality and speak up for victims of prejudice."

diversity intersectionality

shared by Dennis OConnor on 25 Sep 20 - No Cached

The current debate over intersectionality is really three debates: one based on what academics like Crenshaw actually mean by the term, one based on how activists seeking to eliminate disparities between groups have interpreted the term, and a third on how some conservatives are responding to its use by those activists.
...

Cancel
the American legal and socioeconomic order was largely built on racism.
...

Cancel
Crenshaw argued that the court’s narrow view of discrimination was a prime example of the “conceptual limitations of ... single-issue analyses” regarding how the law considers both racism and sexism.

Cancel
Beginning in 2015 and escalating ever since, the conservative response to intersectionality has ranged from mild amusement to outright horror.
...

Cancel
When you talk to conservatives about the term itself, however, they’re more measured. They say the concept of intersectionality — the idea that people experience discrimination differently depending on their overlapping identities — isn’t the problem.
...

Cancel
the idea is more or less indisputable.

Cancel
What many conservatives object to is not the term but its application on college campuses and beyond.
...

Cancel
“Where the fight begins,” French said, “is when intersectionality moves from descriptive to prescriptive.”
...

Cancel
“There have always been people, from the very beginning of the civil rights movement, who had denounced the creation of equality rights on the grounds that it takes something away from them.”
...

Cancel
To Crenshaw, the most common critiques of intersectionality — that the theory represents a “new caste system” — are actually affirmations of the theory’s fundamental truth: that individuals have individual identities that intersect in ways that impact how they are viewed, understood, and treated.
...

Cancel
But Crenshaw said that contrary to her critics’ objections, intersectionality isn’t “an effort to create the world in an inverted image of what it is now.” Rather, she said, the point of intersectionality is to make room “for more advocacy and remedial practices” to create a more egalitarian system.
...

Cancel
She wants to get rid of those existing power dynamics altogether — changing the very structures that undergird our politics, law, and culture in order to level the playing field.
...

Cancel
efforts to eliminate gender disparities would require examining how women of color experience gender bias differently from white women (and how nonwhite men do too, compared to white men).
...

Cancel
Once we acknowledge the role of race and racism, what do we do about it? And who should be responsible for addressing racism, anyway?

I do that very intentionally at the beginning of the semester to signal: “I see you as a human being. I’m paying attention to what you say to me. You are a unique individual with skills and ideas that matter.”
...

Cancel
That’s important, because a lot of students have told me that no one’s ever actually read what they wrote. What they mean by that is that their writing has been graded, but it’s never been read.
...

Cancel
Then, at the end of the semester, I give them the introduction letter back. And the final exam is an essay where they have to reflect on their portfolio: all of the written pieces they produced in the course of the semester.

Cancel
they’re not used to measuring it in terms of actual skills and knowledge. They're always stunned at how far they’ve come.

Cancel
The students have been so used to having their grammar criticized that they over-censor themselves when they’re writing.

Cancel
The message was always, “When you go to college.” It was always, “You can do it.

“You get educated for the benefit of the community and the race.”

Cancel
Today we have wasted a generation, telling young people that the primary reason to pursue education is to get into a well-paying career. In rural or economically depressed areas like Delta, looking at education chiefly as a path to social mobility—rather than a path to full citizenship, one’s sense of agency and freedom—can actually depress achievement and increase hopelessness.

They congratulated me, because I was going to Washington, D.C., to receive the award. These women had taken up money among themselves, put it in a handkerchief, tied it, and handed it to me, as a way to celebrate that I was going to see the president—and represent Black people in a society that questions Black intelligence. I cried. They cried. It was the most touching thing.
