Digital Landscape

The sharing of existing linguistic resources through online platforms has become an increasingly important aspect in revitalization projects for Indigenous languages. This contribution addresses the urgency of such work through the lens of a partnership in support of one language, Haíɫzaqvḷa (Heiltsuk), a critically endangered Wakashan language spoken in and around the traditional Heiltsuk territory of Bella Bella, British Columbia. Alongside immediate community needs for language preservation and reclamation—informed and guided by Heiltsuk values and goals—lie important ethical and practical questions about how best to activate historic recordings of Elders and knowledge holders who have now passed. Our partnership was explicitly structured around the objective of helping to mobilize the large body of existing languagedocumentation and revitalization materials created in and by the community to support broader community access through digital technologies. Working within the fast-changing digital environment requires agility in order to respond to time-sensitive goals and the strategic needs of the community. Ensuring that such work is grounded in respectful collaboration requires ongoing care, consultation and consideration. The digital landscape is still a new and exciting space, and the opportunities to use online tools and technologies in service of language revitalization are ever increasing. We believe that the strategies, approaches and modest successes of the Heiltsuk Language and Culture Mobilization Partnership may be informative for other community-based language reclamation projects. We hope that outlining ourexperiences and being transparent about the challenges such partnerships face may help others engaged in this urgent and timely work.

Communities Of Color

UNSTRUCTURED The rate and scale of transmission of COVID-19 overwhelmed healthcare systems worldwide, particularly in under-resourced communities of color that already faced a high prevalence of pre-existing health conditions. One way the health ecosystem has tried to address the pandemic is by creating mobile apps for telemedicine, dissemination of medical information, and disease tracking. As these new mobile health tools continue to be a primary format for healthcare, more attention needs to be given to their equitable distribution, usage, and accessibility. In this viewpoint collaboratively written by a community-based organization and a health app development research team, we present results of our systematic search and analysis of community engagement in mobile apps released between February and December 2020 to address the COVID-19 pandemic. We provide an overview of apps’ features and functionalities but could not find any publicly available information regarding whether these apps incorporated participation from communities of color disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. We argue that while mobile health technologies are a form of intellectual property, app developers should make public the steps taken to include community participation in app development. These steps could include community needs assessment, community feedback solicited and incorporated, and community participation in evaluation. These are factors that community-based organizations look for when assessing whether to promote digital health tools among the communities they serve. Transparency about the participation of community organizations in the process of app development would increase buy-in, trust, and usage of mobile health apps in communities where they are needed most.

This research was conducted by observing the location to see how the community looks for alternative policies that can help solve the problem of limited development funds in the surrounding environment, and finally to explore and understand sewu-sewu activities as a way to generate community-based development funds. This study used a survey method with direct observation, structured interviews and tested the validity of the data using source triangulation. The results showed that the provision of public goods (public facilities) can be realized through mutual cooperation which is reflected in sewu-sewu activities. This activity includes regulation and management in which there is a money collection process, distribution process and a process of managing sewu-sewu collection. The implementation of this activity is carried out in RW. 4 villages of Karang Asem, Luwemunding District, Majalengka Regency. Through the implementation of this activity, it can increase the independence of a community to be able to provide community needs, one of which is in the form of physical development through community self-help. Abstrak Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pengamatan ke lokasi untuk melihat bagaimana cara masyarakat dalam mencari alternatif kebijakan yang dapat membantu memecahkan masalah keterbatasan dana pembangunan di lingkungan sekitar, dan akhirnya menggali serta memahami kegiatan sewu-sewu sebagai suatu cara untuk menghasilkan dana pembangunan yang berbasis komunitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan observasi langsung, wawancara terstruktur dan menguji keabsahan data menggunakan triangulasi sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyediaan barang publik (fasilitas umum) dapat di wujudkan melalui gotong royong yang tercermindalam kegiatan sewu-sewu.

People labelled/with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) participate in community-based studio programming across the United States, yet their experiences and preferences for studio programming are not well known. The goal of this research was to learn what artists in a community-based studio think is important about their studio and what they want to change in the future. Using art-based appreciative inquiry and online methods, the artists were prompted to talk and create artwork about ‘what is most important’ in the studio and ‘what we want for the future’. The artists reported that the most important aspects of the studio are the staff and their friends at the studio and the opportunity to make art that is motivated by their interests. The wishes expressed by the artists included increased opportunities to be social, to make more money, to have more community access and more choice and control in the studio.

Teaching Implications

This chapter describes a series of integrated curricular invitations that sought to unsettle hierarchies of power by creating hybrid spaces that leverage students' cultural and linguistic resources in the form of multilingual community-based knowledge. The project involved participation from a total of 138 bilingual first graders in two dual language public elementary schools and was implemented, investigated, and revised over a two-year period. The curricular invitations were informed by a conceptual framework that brought together Nieto's (2009) elements of culture with theories of Expansive Learning. This dual framework assists us in articulating the theoretical underpinnings of each step of the proposed sequence. Teaching implications and future research directions are presented.

Australian students come from a wide range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds with each context providing unique challenges. Tensions however exist between the intentions to address diversity and the competing influence of a high-stakes context that prioritizes monolingual classroom practices and diminishes teachers’ use of engaging pedagogy. Viewed through the lens of socio-spatial theory, these tensions highlight how the ideal of education for diversity is re-shaped by the everyday practices in schools and systems. This can result in monolingual ‘firstspace’ practices that do little to develop the knowledge of language and culture that is central to students’ engagement with learning. This article reports ethnographic research in which secondary subject English teachers challenged routinized monolingual practices and re-imagined their classroom practices. The use of translanguaging and the reading and writing of poetry – translanguaging poetry pedagogy – created ‘space’ to support a dynamic process in which students could use all their linguistic resources to produce identity texts. The use of translanguaging and identity texts disrupts a transmission pedagogy that positions the student as a blank slate. Teachers reported how translanguaging poetry pedagogy moved from a ‘thirdspace’ practice to a ‘what we do’ or ‘firstspace’ practice as they came to see that using students’ full language repertoire is a way to return the power of language to their students. The resultant translanguaging space and the symbolic propensity of poetry helped students to develop powerful personal representations and reinforces the need for pedagogies that acknowledge students’ diverse backgrounds, and honor the languages and identity of all students.

Teresa L. McCarty takes us to Rough Rock in the center of the Navajo Reservation, and to a bold experiment in Native American ownership of education. As the first school to be run by a locally elected, all-Indian governing board, and the first to incorporate systematically the native language and culture, it proved to be an influential demonstration of community-based transformation. McCarty describes the changes in Rough Rock's social,economic, and political structures, and examines the relation of these changes to educational outcomes for children. Further, she critiques the irony created by the larger institutional structure of federal funding, which both "enables and constrains genuine control over education by Native American communities."

Abstrak Pemberdayaan     ekonomi masyarakat di pedesaan menjadi hal yang penting mengingat potensi yang ada di masyarakat sangat banyak khususnya di Desa Payung Kec. Rajagaluh Kab. Majalengka Jawa Barat. Secara administrative desa payung terbagi menjadi empat dusun, dan setiap dusun kurang lebih memiliki jumlah penduduk 1.000. sehingga jumlah total pendududk desa payung ± 4.000 jiwa. Lembaga masyarakat yang ada di desa payung yaitu remaja masjid, kelompok tani, pengajian ibu-ibu dan rebana. Potensi pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarkat desa payung dari sisi petani salah satunya yaitu perkebunan teh dan wisata Cikadongdong River Tubing (CRT). Teh petani desa payung saat ini sedang vakum/tidak menghasilkan uang bagi masyarakat karena keterbatasn kemampuan dalam mengolah hasil panen teh. Sedangkan obyek wisata CRT dikelola/diperdayakan oleh masayrakat desa payung secara porfesional. Oleh karena itu penulis mengharapkan adanya perpaduan antara perkebunan hasi teh dan obyek wisata sehingga akan sama-sama berjalan dalam meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, dengan cara kerja filed Research ini akan memudahkan menemukan data-data yang ada di lapangan. skripsi ini akan mendiskripsikan dan menguraikan data-data yang diperoleh dari lapangan dengan metode observasi, wawancara, serta dokumentasi yang kemudian dilakukan analisis data melalui proses reduksi data, penyajian data dan verivikasi.  Dari proses penelitian tersebut diperoleh kesimpulan sebagai berikut:  mengingat saat ini pabrik di desa payung tidak beroperasi lagi. Maka untuk memanfaatkan hasil panen teh, untuk meningkatkan pemberdaaan ekonomi masyarakat dibidang teh diperlukan adanya upaya peatihan kepada para petani agar dapat mengelola secara mandiri. Sedangkan untuk pemberdayaan ekonomi melalui wisata CRT secara umum sudah berjalan dengan baik, hanya saja perlu adanya penambahan fasilitas yakni tempat ibadah/mushala. Konsep pemberdayaan yang terintegrasi antara hasil teh dengan obyek wisata yaitu hasil pengolahan teh yang siap untuk disajikan baik itu teh tradisional (tubruk) maupun teh clup disalurkan melalui obyek wisata yang ada di desa payung. Sehingga petani teh tidak bergantung kepada orang lain (pabrik) melainkan obyek wisata yang ada di desa setempat. Dengan demikian teh dapat termanfaatkan dengan baik, bahkan bisa menjadi oleh-oleh wisatawan yang berkunjung ke desa payung. Bahkan tidak hanya sebegai oleh-oleh tapi menjadi minuman teh khas desa payung.

Social isolation and nonparticipation in the community are chronic issues for adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders that can lead to poorer health outcomes. The Independence through Community Access and Navigation (I-CAN) intervention was developed as a theoretically grounded intervention that uses motivational interviewing to understand the interests and motivations of clients for participation. The intervention is designed to support participation in community-based activities by providing access and skill acquisition in a community environment. Participation between the recreational therapist and the participant decreases over time to encourage the individual to begin to independently access his or her community. This article presents the treatment planning steps and the implementation protocol for the I-CAN intervention.

This study aims to determine community participation in the Community-Based Total Sanitation Program (STBM) in changing healthy living behavior in the Kasunyatan Village, Serang City, Banten Province. The qualitative research method is the approach used in this study, namely by collecting data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study found that the community-based total sanitation program had the benefit of changing people's behavior from the aspect of clean environmental awareness and disposing of water not indiscriminately. Community involvement is a necessary aspect to be able to control locally in realizing a quality environment. Community involvement in sanitation development, starting from planning, implementation to utilization. The community-based total sanitation program is welcomed by the community, but in terms of the amount of assistance, it still does not meet all community needs.

Introduction: Non-professional interpreting warrants further study, particularly in environments where professional interpreters are scarce. Method: The lead researcher (a qualified interpreter and counsellor) joined 32 group sessions as a participant observer, and 12 individual sessions as an observer. Additional data sources were 30 semi-structured interviews with counsellors, clients and interpreters, and two halfday forums organised for community interpreters to discuss their concerns. Results: The positive value of engaging non-professional interpreters is highlighted within the specific context of non-medical, community-based, holistic counselling. In this context, formal accuracy of translation is less important than empathy and trust. Non-professional interpreters may be more likely than professionals to share clients’ life experiences, and working with them in counselling has positive psychosocial value for all participants. This is because it entails inclusive, non-hierarchical practices in the client-counsellor-interpreter triad: mutual sharing of linguistic resources and translingual communication, and a more relaxing dynamic with fluid roles. In group sessions, a strong sense of a crosslinguistic community is created as women interpret for one another, an expression of mutual support. In the context of this study, counsellors, clients and interpreters alike all regard non-professionals as being more appropriate than professionals in most counselling situations.
