Question 2. What are the strengths and weaknesses of intersectional feminism?
QUESTION ADVICE:
Question 2. What are the strengths and weaknesses of intersectional feminism?
There are two distinct routes you could take to answering this question but both will start the same.
First, you need a brief definition of feminism. You do not need a history of feminist thought!
What problem(s) did feminism aim to address? Presumably you will talk about forms of oppression. So you’ll need a definition of oppression too. Use a philosophical source, not a dictionary.
Why was intersectional feminism introduced? What problem(s) does intersectional feminism address that previous theories of justice (feminist or otherwise) missed?
Try to give your own examples to explain what is meant by ‘single-axis oppression’ and ‘muti-dimensional oppression’. Use authors such as Crenshaw/Nash for your definitions.
Route 1 – Thinking about Crenshaw and her critics/supporters
What objections must intersectional feminism overcome?
For evaluation, assess whether the benefits of intersectional feminism are greater than the weaknesses.
To strengthen your assessment, tell your reader why you make that judgement.
Route 2 – Thinking about multiculturalism, traditional feminist responses, and intersectional responses.
Start as before. Next…
What is the goal of multiculturalism?
Explain the early feminist objections to multiculturalism (think Okin, Shachar)
What might these objections ignore?
Look at the writing from Mookherjee and the response to her on the reading list (it’s a practical rather than a critical response, I would suggest).
Readings for both routes:
Again, see the reading list. In addition, try this:
Section 3.4 of Allen’s SEP: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/feminist-power/ (understanding 3.3 will give you a more rounded understanding of 3.4).
MARKING ADVICE:
Choose one title from the questions below. Your essay should be between 1700 and 2000 words. This limit includes your title (do give a title!), your footnotes and your essay. Your bibliography is not included. Words over 2000 will not count towards your grade.
Citations take this format: (Newey, 2020, 211).
Note: this is an argumentative, critical essay. You must display the following skills and qualities to do well:
Scholarship. This means you should provide accurate referencing, with page numbers. I will deduct serious marks for failing to include page numbers, since everyone has been advised on this many times. Also, write well. Edit carefully. Eliminate typos.
Knowledge and understanding of academic texts: This means you must have accurate descriptive content from philosophical sources: this means journal articles and books. Don’t use blogs, newspapers, disctionaries, thesaurus.
Critical thinking: This means you must evaluate what you read. Compare responses from authors who disagree with the main view. Offer your answers and reasons for accepting one view over another.
Originality: use your own examples to explain a point or a view. Give your own opinion about the strengths and weaknesses of a view or theory.
Integrity: your work must be your own research. Give credit to any texts you use. IF you take a point from a lecture slide, go and read the original (best) or at the least, credit the slide.

American Red Cross – Service to Armed Forces Services (Research Case Analysis)
Research Case Analysis – Each student will prepare an individual written research-case analysis. The case data should be collected from a primary case study (field placement) and may be supplemented by other materials. The case is to be illustrative of some challenge the person is facing or has faced and resolved or continuing to work.
The analysis of the case should be organized around a conceptual frame of reference, including a synthesis of the thoughts of others (Literature Review Integration) about the presenting problem, (Be specific in defining the problem drawing from any assessments or case records, observations of the client by yourself and your colleagues, and the perspective of your client and/or any significant others/family members) underlying assumptions and theoretical perspectives of the problem. Elaborate on at least two theoretical models of change (one must be a developmental theory) that are plausible given the nature of your client’s problems/key issues even if they do not form the basis of the intervention, you have been using (you must draw upon the theories we have covered in class, but you are not limited to these theories). How would each theoretical perspective point to a different path of intervention for clients experiencing this problem?
In your conclusion include an intervention plan for your client, including goals and the specific methods to be used to attain these goals. Importantly, your goals and interventions must be written with enough specificity to enable others to be able to implement the interventions in your absence and to evaluate their success.
A process recording should be attached to the paper to reflect an aspect of your clinical skills.
The Paper must adhere to APA guidelines, 10-15 pages, minimum of ten (10) references date range 2012-present, double-space, one-inch margin & 12 font size, Times New Roman. Proofread your paper before processing your paper through Grammarly Premium and include the Grammarly Premium score with each paper submission.

Child Mortality and Advancements
This is a good example of using an environmental scan to make decisions regarding an organizational mission and vision statement. And, while this likely helped the organization to refine these statements it really didn’t involve the type of decision-making necessary for strategic planning for a healthcare organization. In my experience, healthcare scanning supportive of strategic planning decision-making is comprehensive and evaluates the community, and usually involves conducting both a SWOT and PEST analysis for the organization.
Why would you think that healthcare organizations would need to conduct both of these analyses in order to support organizational strategic planning decision-making?

Education lesson plan
bjective: To create a lesson plan with UDL components and to evaluate that lesson plan.
Scenario: Eleven-year-old Liam is in your sixth-grade classroom and has been diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, combined type. Liam has difficulty paying attention, remaining motivated, and completing academic tasks and is frequently disruptive in the classroom. You want to address Liam’s unique challenges and, at the same time, make the same learning opportunities available to all of your students. Therefore, you focus on integrating UDL components into a new lesson plan that you are implementing for your next reading unit. To organize your thoughts, you outline the elements of your lesson plan with a UDL approach in mind.
Assignment
Create a lesson plan using UDL components that address Liam’s possible barriers to learning. First, identify one UDL method for each stage of the lesson plan: introducing the lesson, teacher input, guided practice, independent practice, and evaluation. First, identify one UDL method for each stage of the lesson plan: introducing the lesson, teacher input, guided practice, independent practice, and evaluation.
