This writing assignment asks that you answer a question that will pertain to the relationship between body, politics, and space/place. Please review the course’s core questions and topics and choose something that interests you. This paper must reflect a sophisticated grasp of the relevant course texts but will be primarily an argumentative paper.

Approx. 5-7 pages double-spaced. 12-point font, Times New Roman, Chicago style formatting (citations). A clear thesis and ‘roadmap’ explaining how you will address the question. You must include a bibliography. For the final paper, the goal is not to do a close reading of one particular text.

Instead, you will be analyzing your chosen theme in relation to the broader social, historical, and economic conditions of feminism today, i.e., examining and applying its major concepts. Keep in mind the broad concepts that we have been addressing across the readings (beyond sex and gender): embodiment (race/ ability), space/location, institutions/sentiment, ideas/material reality, power/love, etc.
Paper topics are organized under course theme headings. Drawing on both scientific, journalistic, literary, and artistic sources, discuss and analyze the questions below making sure to comment on the dynamic between embodiment (the body, the skin, the appearance) and structure (the society, the institutions, the language).

TOPIC:

The Project of Universal Womanhood: The old search for a universal position, a universal experience from which to build a feminist politics and ethics has largely fallen out of fashion. Discuss the promises and pitfalls of a universalist approach to gender oppression. Given the many criticisms and feminism’s championing of difference, can a universal approach still be desirable?

Research: SOURCES (VERY IMPORTANT)

While I expect that you will consult many, many more sources, you must incorporate a minimum of 6 secondary sources in your research project (this is in addition to any primary source from the course material you should be using at least one article/text from the syllabus). Make sure that you use a variety of resources, and try to have sources from the following categories (and use current/up-to-date information when relevant):

Recent scholarly books in print: chapters and/or excerpts are acceptable
Recent scholarly articles found in online journals through the OCAD Library databases
Recent texts (articles, essays, editorials, interviews, etc.) from other non-book print sources (newspapers, magazines, etc.)
Texts (articles, essays, editorials, interviews) from reliable online sources (this means you must know where the information is coming from and if it is accurate/reliable!)
Media (advertisements, comics, artwork, TV shows, films, music, etc.)
Other (ex: fiction, interviews, surveys, etc.)

NOTE: THIS MEANS THAT THERE HAS TO BE A MINIMUM OF 6 SECONDARY SOURCES OF YOUR CHOOSING FROM THE LIST ABOVE. AS WELL AS AT LEAST ONE FROM THE SOURCES THAT I PROVIDE.
7 SOURCES MINIMUM
I HAVE A PREWRITTEN ESSAY THAT IS IN ROUGHER SHAPE BUT CAN BE USED TO CONSOLIDATE AND REWRITE.

Pagett v Dalton

Alex Dalton and his wife Fran live in Glascock County, Georgia, about 45 miles southwest of Augusta with a population of fewer than 4,000 people. Now in their late 60s, they recently moved from the Dalton family farm to live in Gibson, the largest town in the county. The Dalton Farm has been in the family for years; when Alex inherited it, the farm was more than 350 acres. None of their children are interested in farming or living in Gibson, and in the past five years, Alex and Fran have sold all but the farmhouse and adjacent 50 acres.

Phil Pagett and his wife Pam own and live on a farm that borders the Dalton Farm. The two couples have been friends for more than 20 years and Phil has offered to buy it from Alex many times in the past decade to increase his acreage. Several years ago, Alex told Phil that when he and Fran were ready to sell the farm, they hoped they’d be able to work out a deal so Phil and Pam could purchase the additional acreage they sought.

In late October, the Pagetts and Daltons had dinner together at the Heritage House Restaurant in Gibson. After a few drinks, Phil raised the issue again, but tried a different approach, telling Alex, “I bet you wouldn’t take $150,000 for the farm.” Alex responded, “Yes, I would too. But, you’re so miserly, you wouldn’t even offer me one-fifty.” Throughout the evening, both men continued to drink whiskey and engage in light conversation, and about 10:30, the conversation returned to the sale of the Dalton Farm for $150,000.

Eventually, Phil enticed Alex to sell the farm to the Pagetts for $150,000 cash to include the farmhouse; barn, other buildings, and all farm tools and implements, and the complete 50 acres. For more than 40 minutes, they discussed what was to be included in the sale, including a provision for the examination of title to the property. When Alex drafted a sale contract that was written in the singular, Phil asked him to rewrite it to include Fran and Pam in the sale. Alex complied, and the second draft identified Fran as a seller and Pam as a buyer, included the address for the farm, identified what was included in the sale, and specified a closing date to transfer ownership that would be no later than December 31. All four friends signed the document and celebrated the deal with another toast. At the end of the evening, Phil and Pam left with the contract and promised to contact the Daltons the next day after they talked to their realtor to arrange and handle the closing.

When Phil contacted Alex the next day, Alex said he hadn’t sold the Pagetts the Dalton Farm. Alex described the transaction “as just two doggoned drunks bluffing to see who could talk the biggest and say the most.” He claimed that the offer had been made in jest and did not create a contract.

Phil and Pam Pagett have now sued to enforce the contract and compel the Daltons to sell the family farm.

You work in a diabetes treatment center. The first patient you meet is KW, 35-year-old female, who presented 2 years ago with symptoms of severe fatigue and blurred vision. She thought this was due to long hours of working at a computer. The doctor who examined her told her she had “borderline diabetes”, gave her a 1200 calorie ADA diet, and told her to lose weight. Her medical record from that visit indicates the following: Wt 190 lbs, ht 5’5”, bp 140/90, urine normal, random blood glucose 155 mg/dL.

— KW did not think she had a problem and ignored the doctor’s advice. Three days ago, KW went to see the doctor after a month of severe fatigue, headaches, nocturia, thirst, and some burning and tingling in her feet. She smokes and does not exercise. She states she does not have time to cook, so most of her meals are at fast-food restaurants.

— Labs: random glucose 205, fasting glucose 140, HbA1c 9.5, chol 310, trig 700, HDL 30, LDL 140,

— Other: wt 204 lbs, BP 160/96

Leadership Interview Guide
You must identify and meet in-person with someone who is in a high level healthcare leadership position. The leader you select should not be a friend or family member. Select someone who is at least five years older than you and experienced in health care management at a high administrative level. For example, a CEO, a Vice President or C-Suite executive (CFO, chief nursing officer, COO, etc.) is preferred. A person who is a senior manager or administrator is also acceptable if they have strategic management oversight. They can also be a director of a health care clinic, agency or other organization. If you work in a large healthcare organization, you can interview key leadership there. Otherwise, you will have to make arrangements in your community. For your interview, you need to structure questions to gain this insight on their role and their leadership styles.
It is preferable that you schedule this several weeks in advance and do the interview in person. Your dress should be professional when you meet for the interview. Professional dress means no jeans, tee shirts or ball caps pointing front or backward, no hoodies, no wrinkled clothes, no low cut clothing, etc. A dress shirt and tie for guys and business appropriate dress (e.g., not what you’d wear to a party or social gathering) for girls are suggested. You must plan ahead… most people in leadership positions are busy. Call and schedule a meeting time. Be prompt and don’t waste their time. It should not take more than 30 minutes if they ask. When you make an initial contact, explain that you are conducting an interview with people in leadership positions as part of your MHA 536 Strategic Healthcare Management Course at Southern Illinois University. Remember—you are representing the university when you meet for the interview… be sharp. You should plan to take notes (do not record the interview) and be attentive. Ask for any collateral material they may be willing to share.
Here are a few questions to ask after you introduce yourself and thank the person for taking time out of a busy schedule to meet with you:
1) Ask the correct spelling of the name and the title of their position.
2) Ask them to discuss their educational background.
3) As them to think about their position today. Who has influenced them as a leader?
4) Ask how they would characterize their leadership style.
5) Ask why or how they think strategically in managing operations. Ask if they utilize an annual business plan or marketing plan and how it is developed and approved.
6) Ask their opinion about teamwork or how they select committees for projects.
7) How effective are those teams? Ask them to describe what an effective leader must do when building a team to make sure everyone participates or does the job.
8) Current research indicates that the use of teams has led to greater productivity, more effective use of resources, better decisions & problem solving, better-quality products & services, increased innovation & creativity—does this work in their administrative role?
9) Ask them to comment on the role of strategic management and challenges that a leader faces in healthcare.
10) Ask what they look for when they hire someone in terms of management potential.
11) Ask for any suggestions to graduate students or early careerists on pursuing leadership positions.
12) Ask anything else you feel would be germane to the subject of being a healthcare leader.
Then thank him/her for their time. After the interview, organize your notes and write your paper on what you have learned. In addition, use at least 3 citations on effective strategic management. Your paper will have six key areas.
1. Introduction
2. Description of the Organization
3. Background of the Executive
4. Role of Strategic Management
5. Recommendations for Early Careerists
6. Summary
There is no mandated length for this paper, but most are in the 8-10 page range in previously classes.
