Discuss the ways in which ableism and sexual violence against disabled women are critiqued in Kim’s chapter.

Discuss the ways in which ableism and sexual violence against disabled women are critiqued in Kim’s chapter. Consider the following issues: 1) how does ableism produce sexual violence against disabled women in the literary and cinematic works that she discusses? Or put another way, how do ableist notions understand disabled women and their sexuality or disabled women as sexual beings?; 2) what does she mean by “curative violence”?

What is the nature of the problem being targeted by the policy?

You will work as a policy analyst to provide a thorough analysis of a public policy (state, local, or federal level).
HINT: You are more likely to find more reference/research materials on federal or state policies. This project will require significant research; I highly suggest that you begin as soon as possible. This paper is worth 350 points and 50% of your grade.
You will work on this paper throughout the semester, turning in sections for my review before the final paper is due.
Requirements:
* At least 20 pages, not including references (the page numbers are suggestions, you may spend more or less time based on your research).
* At least 20 references: five books, 10 articles, five websites (no Wikipedia); I suspect you will need more than 20 to do a good job.
* Must use correct APA format.
* Using the outline below, each heading and subheading should be a separately titled paragraph that is addressed in the paper. If you think a specific heading has no bearing in your analysis you should provide a rationale as to why you do not include it in your work.
* DO NOT USE FIRST PERSON PRONOUNS IN THIS PAPER (I, me, mine, we, us, etc.); if you must talk about yourself, refer to yourself as “the/this author.”

***If you do not think you can write 20 pages, then you have not gathered enough materials.***

Discuss the categories that organisms can be grouped in based on their nutritional requirements.

Discuss the categories that organisms can be grouped in based on their nutritional requirements. Find one microorganism, either a prokaryote or eukaryote, and describe the environment in which it lives. (Does it live underwater? On skin? In soil? Give as many details as possible!) To complete your initial post, you will then use the vocabulary we discussed to classify it based on its nutritional needs and environmental requirements. (Is it a halophile? A chemoheterotroph? Use as many terms as you can!)

4.: Imagine you are teaching a class on controlling microbial growth in the environment. To test your students, you will present them with a scenario including a site and some probably microbes present. They must design a strategy to eliminate harmful microbes from the area.

In this discussion, each student should present a scenario for analysis by his or her classmates, and propose an answer to another classmate’s scenario. Be as creative as you can!
