Effective communication strategies are important for sustaining advocacy goals and the creative use of social media has become relevant to the discussion of human rights activities particularly issues of LGBTQ+. This paper aims to present a research study that investigates the <b>social media’s utilization by human rights activists</b>, in this context, <b>LGBTQ+ activists</b> use social media for LGBTQ+ rights advocacy in Ghana. Using a <b>thematic analysi</b>s grounded in a co-cultural communication theory, the study investigates how human rights activists utilize social media platforms like <b>WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter</b> (now X) for advocacy, community building, and countering discrimination and misinformation. However, activists face problems such as online harassment, doxing, and cyberbullying. The study broadens the applicability of <b>Co-Cultural Communication Theory</b> (CCT) by establishing its relevance in digital settings, where underrepresented groups negotiate identity while simultaneously proactively managing risks and communication in a hostile environment.</p> Communication studies Journalism studies Human Rights Advocacy Communication Channels Communication Social Media LGBTQ+ co-cultural communication Co-cultural theory co-cultural communication theory Advocacy Strategies LGBTQ+ activists Digital Advocacy Marginalized Groups WhatsApp Twitter Facebook Instagram
133	The Monster In My Closet Neves, Mariana January 2024 (has links) In waking life, in dreams. As Leonor attends the last year of catholic school in Leiria, Portugal, a new girl joins the class, and Rita is plagued by visions of a dragon following her relentlessly. The Monster in My Closet is a graphic novel about confronting one’s inner demons against the backdrop of a wider belief system. It depicts a journey of acceptance and realization of one’s queerness while living in a conservative, Catholic city; wrestling with lack of references, teenage insecurities, internalized homophobia, compulsive heterosexuality, and religious upbringing. The comics draw inspiration from medieval illuminations and marginalia, subverting Christian aesthetics by exploring the tension between the Word of God and the margins, insiders and outsiders, heteronormativity and queerness, and the process of othering. / <p>Mariana Neves</p><p>Artist Name: <strong>Mariana Sou</strong></p> queer queerness Catholic catholic catholicism Catholicism Religion religion mural risoprinting Queer Gay Lesbian Comics comics medieval art Medieval Art illuminations historiated initial marginalia medieval lettering bookbinding margins edge marginalized portugal Portugal dragons dragon monsters monster christianity graphic novel risograph RISO riso gilding queer comics queer graphic novel St. George St. Michael St. George and the Dragon Design Design Visual Arts Bildkonst Art History Konstvetenskap
134	Close to the Pain: Alternative Education and the Unheard Voices of Young Adults’ Transformative Learning Experiences Lock, Vicki Lynn 01 January 2024 (has links) (PDF) This dissertation focuses on amplifying the voices of marginalized students in alternative education, with an emphasis on the positive impact of resilience on their outcomes. The study addresses the challenges these students face, particularly those from BIPOC communities, in navigating educational systems that have historically marginalized them. The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore the experiences of BIPOC students in a Central Valley alternative education program, highlighting how nurturing relationships, resilience, and the fulfillment of basic needs contribute to their academic success and personal growth. Utilizing a framework that incorporates theories of resilience, educational equity, and transformative leadership, the study situates the students' experiences within a broader context of systemic challenges and potential reform. Through in-depth interviews with five graduates from marginalized backgrounds, the research identified several key themes: (a) the power of resilience in overcoming adversity; (b) the significance of positive relationships with educators and peers; (c) the importance of addressing mental and emotional well-being; (d) the transformative potential of inclusive educational environments; and (e) the role of supportive communities in fostering success. The findings underscore the importance of resilience and relational strategies in helping marginalized students thrive in alternative educational settings. This study contributes to the ongoing conversation on educational equity by advocating for approaches that empower students to achieve their full potential, ensuring that their voices are heard, and their successes are celebrated.

135	Venezuela's Medical Revolution: Can the Cuban Medical Model be Applied in Other Countries? Walker, Christopher 03 December 2013 (has links) This thesis analyzes the Cuban medical adaptation in Venezuela called Misión Barrio Adentro (MBA) and seeks to answer the question of whether MBA shows promise as a health system that improves medical accessibility for impoverished and marginalized populations. In many cases MBA succeeds by: utilizing a free universal health care system; locating health centres in previously underserved areas; providing medical education scholarships to populations from non-traditional backgrounds; creating a catchment system based on medical accessibility; scaling up the medical workforce to 60,000 community doctors by 2019; and broadening the very praxis of what health means in a Latin American social medicine approach. However, some challenges remain including issues of corruption, fragmentation, and polarization. Issues regarding internal and external migration of Misión Sucre-trained physicians remain to be comprehensively evaluated. However, the capacitation of non-traditional medical personnel, imbued with conciencia, is significant and could well become an important example for other countries. international development human development health care as a human right Venezuela Cuba South-South cooperation Mission Barrio Adentro Mission Sucre Latin American social medicine Hugo Chávez medical internationalism structural violence health care as a human right medical education preventive and proactive care medical accessibility community-oriented primary care rural-urban health disparity health in all policies political will transnationalization of policy learning capacitation soft policy tools polarization non-traditional medical backgrounds marginalized populations poverty conciencia bio-psycho-social spheres of health
