How can designers help to create more equitable communities? Introduction to Design Equity, an open access book for students and professionals, maps design processes and products against equity research to highlight the pitfalls and potentials of design as a tool for building social justice.9302020-11-30T20:29:10Z2024-01-22T14:52:14ZContemporary Families: An Equity Lens<img alt="Read more about Contemporary Families: An Equity Lens" title="Contemporary Families: An Equity Lens 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/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTc4NCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--f15974cfab8b74f24df1a599cce7c4c8c3985166/Contemporary-Families-Cover-Final-Draft-350x453.jpg" />This openly licensed text, created with students, approaches contemporary families from an equity lens. It asks two questions relevant to the Difference, Power, and Discrimination outcomes at Linn-Benton Community College and Oregon State University: “What do families need?” and “How do society and institutions support or get in the way of families getting what they need?"

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.16332024-03-20T00:00:00Z2024-03-20T14:18:54ZMaking Open Educational Resources with and for PreK12: A Collaboration Toolkit for Higher Education<img alt="Read more about Making Open Educational Resources with and for PreK12: A Collaboration Toolkit for Higher Education" title="Making Open Educational Resources with and for PreK12: A Collaboration Toolkit for Higher Education cover image" class="cover " width="538" height="710" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzNzcsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--859684c466f2f12a82ed344c24af80e469fe98c5/Cover-PreK12.PNG" />Higher education and PreK12 are vastly different domains. As such, well-intended, collaborative efforts between higher education and PreK12 do not always result in creation of useful and reusable learning materials for PreK12 classrooms or effective, productive partnerships. Making Open Educational Resources with and for PreK12: A Collaboration Toolkit for Higher Education is a toolkit of instructional resources designed to support higher education personnel who wish to improve or build strong and generative collaborations between higher education and PreK12 educators. The toolkit aims to expand use and re-usability of PreK12-centric learning resources through informed practices regarding copyright, open-licensing, and accessibility and includes a variety of resources: videos, presentations, transcripts, activities, guides, assignments, and assessment tools.16292024-03-17T03:14:54Z2024-03-18T16:57:08ZCreative Translation for Real-World Contexts: English ↔ Spanish<img alt="Read more about Creative Translation for Real-World Contexts: English ↔ Spanish" title="Creative Translation for Real-World Contexts: English ↔ Spanish cover image" class="cover " width="733" height="1107" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzNTEsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--1e950cb38063ba7c17bd7ecac911ecd07b7dd6b5/crea.jpg" />Creative Translation for Real-World Contexts is one of the first translation textbooks designed for Spanish/English speakers at an intermediate-high (B2) level. This book introduces students to the basic ideas of translation while addressing frequent pain points that recur when working bidirectionally. Additionally, a focus is placed on fostering metacognitive skills by encouraging creative translation from real-world environments such as narration, business, advertising, specialized contexts (including inclusive and queer language), and in situations when there are no clear translations available, such as sci-fi and fantasy works. Chapters alternate between Spanish and English as the languages of discussion, thus providing an equitable challenge for native speakers of both languages.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.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.15992024-03-03T22:54:32Z2024-03-03T22:54:32ZAction Research<img alt="Read more about Action Research" title="Action Research cover image" class="cover " width="410" height="615" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEyMDIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--4538ce13298b73c99b75773276d8f2cbce1e25c5/act.jpg" />Action research is a common journey for graduate students in education and other human science fields. This book attempts to meet the needs of graduate students, in-service teachers, and any other educators interested in action research and/or self-study. The chapters of this book draw on our collective experiences as educators in a variety of educational contexts, and our roles guiding educator/researchers in various settings. All of our experiences have enabled us to question and refine our own understanding of action research as a process and means for pedagogical improvement. The primary purpose of this book is to offer clear steps and practical guidance to those who intend to carry out action research for the first time. As educators begin their action research journey, we feel it is vital to pose four questions: 1) What is action research, and how is it distinct from other educational research?; 2) When is it appropriate for an educator to conduct an action research project in their context?; 3) How does an educator conduct an action research project?; 4) What does an educator do with the data once the action research project has been conducted? We have attempted to address all four questions in the chapters of this book.15872023-10-01T00:00:00Z2024-03-01T18:05:11ZHealth Sciences Collection Development: An Overview of Fundamental Knowledge and Practices - 2nd Edition<img alt="Read more about Health Sciences Collection Development: An Overview of Fundamental Knowledge and Practices - 2nd Edition" title="Health Sciences Collection Development: An Overview of Fundamental Knowledge and Practices - 2nd Edition cover image" class="cover " width="679" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTExNTgsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--76d561bf6e6bdcd0d0776229f22672928c603cb5/Cov-Dev-2-option-1-679x1024.png" />This work was created by members of the Medical Library Association’s Collection Development Caucus to provide librarians with key concepts about health sciences collection development. The chapters provide an overview of the responsibilities and tasks involved in the development and management of health sciences collections; it is recommended that readers refer to the references and further reading sections in each chapter for a more detailed look at each topic. The first edition was published in 2019 and was updated with a second edition in 2023. This updated edition has a new section on unique collection genres; addresses Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in collections; incorporates significant updates to and expansion of previous content; and includes a glossary. New additions to each chapter, as applicable, include key communities and online courses for professional development.
