Recognition as a Pedagogical Formation: Re-tracing Black Rhetors’ Care-Work in the Field of Writing Studies

This project addresses the absence of literacy pedagogies produced by Black rhetors mostly in the mid-20thcentury South from the field of Writing Studies. One of the aims of this project is to center the rhetorical work of teachers and organizers like SNCC (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee) facilitator Ella Baker, educator Septima Clark, and activist Stokely Carmichael, among others, as a major reference point for instructors and administrators in the field who are invested in practicing literacy pedagogies rooted in social justice. This project also seeks to invite folks in the field as well as other interested parties to develop responsive literacy pedagogies guided by principles of receptivity, reflection and reflexivity, ritual work, and crafthood (each chapter in this work addresses one of these four principles). It is my hope that readers recognize my acknowledgement of Black rhetorical work throughout this dissertation as a larger pedagogical imperative that can be implemented in their own learning spaces. I examine both primary and secondary accounts of the work of Black mid-20th century rhetors throughout this project, use relevant and current Writing Studies scholarship to support my arguments, and contribute my own pedagogical theory and practice in the third and fourth chapters of this work. My key contentions are as follows: Black mid-20th century teachers and organizers involved in the Sea Island Citizenship Schools and Mississippi Freedom Summer practiced, as well as ritualized, care work, which I contend can help to support the social justice pedagogies we practice now, as these pedagogies tend to be inspired and informed by issues of policing of Black and brown bodies, incarceration, and food and housing insecurity, among other things; Black rhetorical practices have always, by necessity, been ambulatory (to contend with, among other things, racist state repression, historically)—and this fact can help us to imagine pedagogical formations (like workshops, which I discuss in chapter four of this work) that can occupy different spaces and by extension, be more responsive to our students. This project offers scholars in Writing Studies as well as those invested in social justice pedagogies a framework to grapple with the current political and social forces that both instructors and their students engage—with, I hope, room to make even more room for what our students wish to develop and create in our college writing courses

Route of drug administration in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A protocol for a randomised controlled trial (PARAMEDIC-3)

© 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).AIMS: The PARAMEDIC-3 trial evaluates the clinical and cost-effectiveness of an intraosseous first strategy, compared with an intravenous first strategy, for drug administration in adults who have sustained an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS: PARAMEDIC-3 is a pragmatic, allocation concealed, open-label, multi-centre, superiority randomised controlled trial. It will recruit 15,000 patients across English and Welsh ambulance services. Adults who have sustained an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are individually randomised to an intraosseous access first strategy or intravenous access first strategy in a 1:1 ratio through an opaque, sealed envelope system. The randomised allocation determines the route used for the first two attempts at vascular access. Participants are initially enrolled under a deferred consent model.The primary clinical-effectiveness outcome is survival at 30-days. Secondary outcomes include return of spontaneous circulation, neurological functional outcome, and health-related quality of life. Participants are followed-up to six-months following cardiac arrest. The primary health economic outcome is incremental cost per quality-adjusted life year gained. CONCLUSION: The PARAMEDIC-3 trial will provide key information on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of drug route in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Trial registration: ISRCTN14223494, registered 16/08/2021, prospectively registered.Peer reviewe

Interviewee: Louise Swoyer Interviewer: Tristan Luccari, Julie Becker, Jasmine Sprauve Date: October 12, 2017 Location: Old Main, SUNY Cortland, Cortland, New York Length: 1 audio file, 00:41:46 Louise Swoyer grew up in Cortland along with her parents and two brothers. She has traveled across the United States, visiting and living in different places. While growing up in Cortland, her father would take the family on road trips, through upstate New York and even up into New England. She remembers the great time she had in school with her teachers and friends, and at home with her family. She specifically remembered her grandfather, tending his garden. Her Grandfather John, J.W. Evans, used to work at the Wickwire Factory in Cortland, N.Y, but doesn’t recall him working while she was young. Louise attended Cayuga College, in New York, and after that traveled a bit, before finally settling down in Columbus, Ohio, where her husband had taught at Ohio State University. She eventually would go onto teach at the University as well, after introducing the ‘Adopt a School program’ in the city. The impact that Louise has not only had on the people she came in contact with, but even children that benefitted from the actions that she had taken to encourage a better education, is remarkable. Louise currently lives in Phoenix, A.Z, but has recently returned to visit Cortland a few years ago. She explained how it looked awfully different, other than Main Street, which continues to look very similar
