The Problem With Health Measurement., Stefan J. Cano, Jeremy C. Hobart Jan 2011

The Problem With Health Measurement., Stefan J. Cano, Jeremy C. Hobart

Peninsula Medical School

In this review we discuss health measurement with a focus on psychometric methods and methodology. In particular, we examine some of the key issues currently facing the use of clinician and patient rating scales to measure the health outcomes of disease and treatment.

Applied Anthropology And Anti-Hate Activism, Jennifer Schlegel Jan 2011

Applied Anthropology And Anti-Hate Activism, Jennifer Schlegel

Journal of Hate Studies

This paper examines my journey from activist, to educator, to researcher, and back, and the implications the journey has for developing effective anti-hate collaborations and educational practices. After being notified that my name and contact information had been posted on a white supremacist’s website, I re-considered my role as an anti-hate activist and turned to teaching. Combining my activist experience with my anthropology background, I developed a course, “Hate Across Cultures.” Using multi-disciplinary academic resources and featuring guest lectures from representatives of various government agencies, this class provides a space for students to learn and talk about the origins of …
