  • A Framework for Integrating Arts, Science, and Social Justice Into Culturally Responsive Public Health Communication and Innovation Designs
Title: A Framework for Integrating Arts, Science, and Social Justice Into Culturally Responsive Public Health Communication and Innovation Designs
Objectives. To increase the scale and efficacy of health promotion practice, culturally responsive approaches to well-being are needed in both communication and practice innovation. This mixed-methods evaluation sought to identify specific mechanisms used in a promising practice model and offers a potential theoretical framework to support public health programs in integrating culture and social justice into communication and intervention programs. Study Design. Rooted at the intersection of ethnographic and phenomenological worldviews, this mixed-methods, retrospective process evaluation used publicly available empirical and experiential data centered on the arts, science, and social justice to identify critical mechanisms used and incorporate them into an emergent theoretical framework. Method. The retrospective process evaluation used an ethnography-informed approach combined with scientific literature reviews. To integrate adjacent ideas into the emergent theoretical framework, a phenomenologically informed theme development approach was used. Results. The evaluation resulted in a five-step framework, called MOTIF, with the potential to be utilized in diverse situational and geographic contexts. Data that surfaced from related literature reviews revealed adjacent mechanisms from positive psychology, critical consciousness theory, and innovation design that were incorporated into the emergent framework. Conclusion. MOTIF may offer a culturally responsive public health communication and innovation process capable of promoting health equity through the cultivation of relationships between artists, community participants, and public health agencies and researchers who collectively endeavor to craft innovative solutions for population health and well-being.  more » « less

    Community-centered projects on health and the environment are vital for inclusive and equitable student learning. One of the ways to engage STEM and humanities undergraduates on public and global health and environmental justice topics is using a framework called community-based participatory research (CBPR). CBPR provides a framework for culturally relevant and responsive environmental or health topics through community engagement. In our feature article, we provide background on public and global health perspectives related to heart disease, and showcase how CBPR can be woven into the introduction to biology class and lab as a pathways to engage and empower students from all disciplines on developing a community awareness project.

    Research has established that effective cross-cultural mentoring relationships impact minority student success in higher education and further career; however, a scarcity of studies focus on culturally responsive practices in mentoring relationships in STEM programs. This paper describes experiences and perceptions on culturally responsive mentoring of faculty in STEM programs, and thus, has a significant contribution to the existing body of literature on mentoring in STEM education. The theoretical framework for this research study was grounded in the ideas posited by sociocultural theory and culturally responsive pedagogy, and the research question that guided this study is as follows: How do STEM doctoral faculty mentors engage in culturally responsive mentoring? A case study research design was used to aid in providing in-depth insights into the dynamic nature of the culturally responsive mentoring journey. The findings reveal three themes that relate to mentoring journeys that mentor and underrepresented minority mentees experience: academic journey, intentional journey, and subliminal journey. This study offers several implications for mentoring and leadership in cross-cultural educational contexts.
