Aging Class

Abstract The presenter will discuss strategies for using intersectionality as a theoretical lens in her Perspectives on Aging class in order to support students to understand the relevance of aging studies—including health and social disparities in aging—for their contemporary lived lives, as well as for prior generations. With this relevance established, the class also examines the significance and justification for the development of policy, such as Social Security legislation, as well as the need for aging-related career areas. The presenter will discuss the application of key course resources, including research that looks at aging in historic contexts, as well as content highlighting the importance of Age Friendliness and the diversity of career areas to support Age Friendliness and more optimal aging experiences overall. Examining historic roots of aging-related experiences in social contexts creates an informative platform for understanding experiences of aging in society today.

Positivist Approach

This article engages in theoretical discussions of intersectionality on such issues as: how does Kimberle Crenshaw's intersectionality theory function in various forms of social divisions, and how do various scholars respond to it? Why is intersectionality theoretically and methodologically critical to examining Nepali political and social contexts, especially on women and Dalit's issues? This article examines the overview of intersectional theoretical standpoints explicitly based on Crenshaw's ideas and how it problematizes political practices of domination and discrimination against minority groups in societies today. Rather than providing an empirical and positivist approach to findings, this write-up offers a theoretical framework that helps conceptualize and utilize it in examining power exercise and politics in the Nepali context. It emphasizes discourse analysis to explore the systemic discrimination and the genealogy of structural violence to moot debates about central and marginal subjects concerning women and Dalit issues in Nepal.

This article examines recent aggregate statistical data generated by Scottish Government medical bodies concerning suicide rates and the social contexts of those who die by suicide. It compares rates and trends with international studies. Inherent in the data sets explored are indications suggesting that suicide is patterned by variables such as gender, employment, class and marital status. Neoliberalism increases social disparities that influence patterns of suicide, resulting in anomie and alienation, disproportionately impacting the already disenfranchised. Using recent statistical data (2011–2017), the article offers a theorization of suicide through the lens of Emile Durkheim’s social causation model of suicide. Suicide is associated with risk factors inherent in social structures and political processes.

The Mexican filmmaker Francisco del Villar (1920‐78) was hired by different government institutions such as the Ministry of Health and Assistance (SSA), National Railways (FNM), Petróleos Mexicanos (PM) and the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) to make documentaries on their work for propaganda and educational purposes. Between 1957 and 1972 del Villar filmed at least thirteen documentaries that represent the development of these institutions and their achievements, but also, the work of the Mexican state more broadly. This article rescues this documentary production from anonymity and analyses the political and social contexts of the period in which they were filmed, as well as the institutions’ various agendas. This article also seeks to contribute to the historiography of Mexican documentary in the second half of the twentieth century by analysing its representation of medical-sanitary issues and of technological modernity in 1960s Mexico.

Do So

Abstract Regularly and irregularly occurring events at which surprisingly high degrees of physical and mental energy as well as large quantities of goods and money are required, and need to be procured in forms hardly open to individual choice and deliberation, abound in Japan. The corresponding complex rules are especially conspicuous on the level of direct interpersonal exchange, where the uninterrupted balance between outgoing investment and incoming return on investment is considered essential to maintain the close-knit social order that constitutes not just tradition but quite specifically the normative basis for Japan’s self-image as a leading post-war economic power. In many ways this close-knit order contrasts with concepts we might hold about a modern, pluralistic society. Today we face a situation where the continued propagation of correct rules for supplying goods, money and personal energy stands in increasing conflict with the economic and structural means to do so, and with any calculated interest in specific social contexts thus to be maintained

Abstract To be successful, students who use AAC and attend general education classes require extensive supports and frequent practice with their communication systems. In this article, I explore the challenges faced by educational teams and discuss strategies for helping general education teachers, paraprofessionals, and others provide the AAC learning and practice opportunities these students need to maximize their communication skills and academic achievement.

Structural Language

Abstract Linguistic interaction models suggest that interrelationships arise between structural language components and between structural and pragmatic components when language is used in social contexts. The linguist, David Crystal (1986, 1987), has proposed that these relationships are central, not peripheral, to achieving desired clinical outcomes. For individuals with severe communication challenges, erratic or unpredictable relationships between structural and pragmatic components can result in atypical patterns of interaction between them and members of their social communities, which may create a perception of disablement. This paper presents a case study of a woman with fluent, Wernicke's aphasia that illustrates how attention to patterns of linguistic interaction may enhance AAC intervention for adults with aphasia.

Support Students

The number of English Language Learners (ELL) is increasing in all regions of the United States. Although the majority (71%) speak Spanish as their first language, the other 29% may speak one of as many as 100 or more different languages. In spite of an increasing number of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who can provide bilingual services, the likelihood of a match between a given student's primary language and an SLP's is rather minimal. The second best option is to work with a trained language interpreter in the student's language. However, very frequently, this interpreter may be bilingual but not trained to do the job.
