TL;DR: Lewer and Williams as mentioned in this paper discuss how word and image point to the risk and the promise involved in words about wordless works of art and how such an interaction can be extended when a painting is responded to by another medium, such as a poem.
Abstract: Dr Deborah Lewer introduces this conversation between herself and Dr Rowan Williams by reflecting on how word and image point to the risk and the promise involved in words about wordless works of art. As a theologian, poet, and former Archbishop of Canterbury, Williams highlights the ongoing, responsive, and dynamic relationship that human beings can develop with particular pieces of visual art. Such an interaction can be extended when a painting is responded to by another medium – for instance, that of a poem. It is in the transcendence and indeterminacy of a piece of art that Williams locates imagination’s link to faith.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) to study the relationship between race and leisure experiences of Black recreational runners, focusing on their experiences running and race.
Abstract: Abstract:The perspectives and experiences of individuals with marginalized identities, including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), are infrequently represented within empirical research. Inquiry using frameworks such as Critical Race Theory (CRT) allows for deeper investigation into phenomena such as racism and discrimination, acknowledged as a threat to public health. This study utilized the contemporary methodological research approach interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA), an approach originating in psychology and increasingly being used by researchers in the realm of human behavior and well-being (Smith et al., 2009). The research consisted of in-depth interviews with four Black recreational runners regarding their recreational experiences, focusing predominantly on their experiences running and race per recommendations of the specific six-step research approach recommended by the methodological approach used. A complex relationship between racial and leisure identity was presented by analyzing interview transcripts, constituting two themes, "Be safe, stay safe" and "Tough situations and the growing process." Although the assumption that by not noticing and addressing race is taking a morally correct position, the position also served to evade the role of power, politics, and race in the lives of the runners and the impact discrimination has on everyday leisure experience.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the impact of a campers' outcomes of independence and perceived competence and familial impact during COVID-19 and found that over half the participants were at their first diabetes camp and 71% of the campers felt their perceived competence "increased a little bit" because of camp.
Abstract: Studies have found that youth are experiencing higher anxiety levels than prior to COVID-19, and youth with type 1 diabetes are at higher risk. Medical specialty camps are a type of camp that provide opportunities for youth with chronic illnesses to share common goals, increase socialization, improve camper well-being, and increase knowledge of diabetes management. The program evaluation sought to determine the impact of a campers’ outcomes of independence and perceived competence and familial impact during COVID-19. Over half the participants were at their first diabetes camp and 71% of the campers felt their perceived competence “increased a little bit” because of camp. Over 95% of parents felt that their participation in camp had increased their diabetes knowledge. Qualitative data from parents revealed 2 themes, camp as a meeting place and learning from others. The findings from this study demonstrate that medical specialty camps influence campers’ perceptions of independence and competence and that families play an important role in creating a community of practice.
