“Linguistic relativism” leads people of different cultures to define, explain, and even see reality in images framed by their diverse languages. The most readily available and commonly used online educational materials are often scaffolded in unyielding structures shrouded in American standards and expectations. These Americano-centric course management and learning management systems render subject matter design and delivery, as well as assignment formulation, scheduling, and grading, difficult for educators who understand the importance of imbuing their materials with atypical alternative views of reality expressed in the worldviews of languages and cultures beyond the borders of the United States.

Spanish émigré guitarist Celedonio Romero gave his American debut performance on a June evening in 1958. In the sixty years since, the Romero family—Celedonio, his wife Angelita, sons Celín, Pepe, and Angel, as well as grandsons Celino and Lito—has become preeminent in the world of Spanish flamenco and classical guitar in the United States. Walter Aaron Clark’s in-depth research and unprecedented access to his subjects have produced the consummate biography of the Romero family. Clark examines the full story of their genius for making music, from their outsider's struggle to gain respect for the Spanish guitar to the ins and outs of making a living as musicians. As he shows, their concerts and recordings, behind-the-scenes musical careers, and teaching have reshaped their instrument’s very history. At the same time, the Romeros have organized festivals and encouraged leading composers to write works for guitar as part of a tireless, lifelong effort to promote the guitar and expand its repertoire. Entertaining and intimate, Los Romeros opens up the personal world and unfettered artistry of one family and its tremendous influence on American musical culture. It features a gallery of forty photographs as well as appendices providing a chronology, genealogy, list of albums, and a summary of Romero publications, editions, and educational materials.

Abstract The introduction of commercialized disposable pads and tampons during the twentieth century changed the experience of the menstrual body in many (but not all) countries of the world. From a Latin-American perspective, this new way to menstruate was also understood to be a sign of modernization. In this chapter, Tarzibachi describes and analyzes how the dissemination and proliferation of disposable pads and tampons have unfolded first in the United States and later in Latin America, with a particular focus on Argentina. She pays particular attention to how the Femcare industry shaped the meanings of the menstrual body through discourses circulated in advertisements and educational materials. Tarzibachi explores how the contemporary meanings of menstruation are contested globally, as the traditional Femcare industry shifts its rhetoric in response to challenges from new menstrual management technologies, new forms of menstrual activism, and the increasing visibility of menstruation in mainstream culture.

This article reviews images of people of Asian descent wearing masks in popular press articles discussing mask shortages and argues that visual framing had the potential of fueling racial antagonism during the initial months of COVID-19’s spread across the United States. Technical communicators need to include globalized perspectives in educational materials about masks as an advocacy strategy that can help communities and individuals to navigate the crisis situation and better protect themselves and those around them.

Abstract Introduction Racial and gender disparities in health care have been well described. The Association of American Medical Colleges states they are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in preparing medical trainees. Increasing attention is paid to representative diversity in the images and educational resources utilized during medical training. One recent example of this is the Instagram account, “Brown Skin Matters,” that focuses on the representation of dermatologic diseases in the skin of people of color. Nearly 40% of the population of the United States identifies as a person of color, and patients of color reflect 41% of the total burn population seen in the United States. In comparison, national data on providers suggests about 5% of the Burn Team would be people of color. As representation matters, a better understanding of the diversity represented by burn related medical literature could affect management of patients with diverse backgrounds and recruitment into this field. The goal of this study is to investigate the representation of diverse skin tones in the leading medical textbook of burn care. Methods The 5th edition of “Total Burn Care (TBC)”, 5th ed, DN Herndon editor, was reviewed from cover to cover. All photographs that contained people were evaluated for the number of people present and the depicted role of person present (i.e.: provider, patient or other). Each picture was considered as an isolated image, regardless of whether it was part of a series. Diversity count was assessed in a binary fashion - was the individual represented a person of color or not? Additional information was collected on the gender of providers present. Results 690 total individuals were identified in images in TBC. There were 3 providers of color identified in TBC images out of a total of 63(5%); 24 providers were women (38%), of whom none were women providers of color. People of color were represented in 107 of 627 non-providers shown in TBC (17%). There were 29 patients whose skin color was unable to be evaluated due to the nature of the injury, the quality of the image or the surface area of dressings visualized in the image (5%). Conclusions Both patients and providers of color are underrepresented in the leading textbook of burn care. Proper representation must be included in modern educational materials to better prepare providers for a diverse population of burn injured patients and appropriately address injury identification, wound healing properties, and scar outcomes. Diverse and proportional representation of potential outcomes needs to be a component of educational materials. to ensure effective and thoughtful care.
