Additionally, the Appendix includes a “suite of patients” with suggested prompts for classroom discussion to assist students in applying concepts from the book to real patient-care situations.14282023-05-18T18:50:20Z2023-12-21T18:47:56ZNursing Advanced Skills<img alt="Read more about Nursing Advanced Skills" title="Nursing Advanced Skills cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="457" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjczNiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--d12c26b5f48d3f83c9cba747f14d253653d5368f/adv-skills-1-350x457.png" />This textbook is an open educational resource with CC-BY licensing developed specifically for prelicensure nursing students. The e-book and downloadable versions are free. Affordable print versions are published in collaboration with XanEdu and available on Amazon and in college bookstores.

The metaphor of a lens is used intentionally–as the glasses one wears can have a profound effect on what one sees. The book encourages further inspection of the ways in which data is collected, interpreted, and analyzed on a variety of social justice issues, such as health disparities, hunger and food insecurity, homelessness, behavioral health (mental health and substance use), and incarceration of males of color. It also attempts to reveal how the misuse of data can reinforce inequities, for example, by stigmatizing people and labeling neighborhoods as high poverty, violent, and having poor educational opportunities. Whether an intended or unintended consequence, irresponsible data use can contribute to racist impressions of people and communities.16242024-03-17T02:16:21Z2024-03-18T16:57:08ZSocial Work Practice and Disability Communities: An Intersectional Anti-Oppressive Approach<img alt="Read more about Social Work Practice and Disability Communities: An Intersectional Anti-Oppressive Approach" title="Social Work Practice and Disability Communities: An Intersectional Anti-Oppressive Approach cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="501" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMzYsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--4ec4eae574e52abd5210d6f05378ba512e8638d1/081622_RotelProject_Socialwork-Opt2-350x501.png" />Designed as a main textbook for social work courses at the bachelor’s and master’s level or for social work practitioners in the field, this work moves beyond a traditional medicalized and segregated approach (i.e., chapters organized around impairments) to the exploration of disability-specific populations, instead taking a more intersectional approach in discussing specific service areas and practice issues while weaving in stories about the lived experiences of disabled people with a range of social identities. These issues include parenting, mass incarceration, ableism, aging, and employment, among many others. A key goal of this book is to introduce an intersectionality-informed and critically culturally competent approach to anti-oppressive social work practice with disabled people, primarily in the United States. To do this, we present an innovative practice model for social workers to use in their work with disabled people and communities, which is incorporated throughout the book in a variety of practice considerations. The main themes woven throughout our practice model are intersectionality theory, critical cultural competence, and anti-oppressive practice.16222024-03-17T01:45:12Z2024-03-18T16:57:08Z"Overweight" Bodies, Real and Imagined<img alt="Read more about "Overweight" Bodies, Real and Imagined" title=""Overweight" Bodies, Real and Imagined cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMzAsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--3f861dcca8636383ea7f9f5497fd3d48332ed620/Overweight-book-cover-final-350x453.png" />This compilation gathers OER sources on body weight, nutrition, and movement, and it also problematizes the cultural meaning of these readings. Roughly, this anthology is divided into two parts--informational and theoretical--in depicting how medical research and journalism influence and are influenced by social stereotypes, constructed ideas about bodies, food, and individual choices within social systems.16192024-03-17T00:05:48Z2024-03-18T16:57:08ZShared Voices: An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology<img alt="Read more about Shared Voices: An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology" title="Shared Voices: An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMjEsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--70366f075447a864a3cf1568db1060173c47e133/081622_RotelProject_Cultural-Anthropology-Demetrios-Brellas-350x453.jpg" />Shared Voices is a student-centered cultural anthropology mini textbook built with an equity lens. We are excited to share this with you all. This book attempts to address the lack of current, reliable, and relevant resources for introductory anthropology courses that center equity and anti-racism. We set out to create a culturally responsive and inclusive textbook with an anti-racist and global citizenry perspective. We center marginalized voices, stories, and community. This text is a starting point for any introductory anthropology course recognizing that cultural change is constant and the familiar is cousin to the weird and unusual. A work in progress, this text aims to provide students an opportunity to build content as they explore the topics within.
