Over the next few weeks your group will participate in an Intersectional Community Health Forum Series and have a chance to connect and ask questions to a local connection (individual or agency) that addresses your health issue. You will have also reviewed your health issue on a global stage and determined a website link to a global resource for your topic. This assignment has 4 objectives: 1) to work together as a group, 2) to explore a health issue on both local and global stages outlining similarities and differences, 3) to determine a change agent who is addressing this issue, 4) to review this individual in terms of attributes of Agent of Change, and 5) present your information in a scholarly paper. This is an individual assignment. Although your research work may have been as part of the group, each person must write and submit their own paper – not shared material from others. There will obviously be similar sections but the writing must be unique to each group member. The paper has many parts to it: • Describe your health issue using appropriate scholarly sources. • Discuss how this issue is addressed locally – provide context and describe what you found out through your participation in the Intersectional Community Health Forum, Series and the answer to your group question. Discuss how this issue is addressed globally – provide a webpage site you have found which addresses this issue on a global stage. • Address the similarities and differences you have determined between a local and global approach to the same health issue. • Who is addressing this issue? Determine a “change agent” who is working on this issue (either local or global). Who is he/she? Background? How is he/she making a difference? • Outline how your chosen Agent of Change depicts the attributes outlined in our Agents of Change program at York. • Reflect on what you have learned from this assignment. • Paper must use APA format for reference citation, page setup, title page, etc. This paper will include marks for formatting and proper citations. • Paper length: 10 pages maximum, inclusive of in-text references, bibliography is separate but optional. • Due on February 24, 2019 – 23h59. Papers (Word .doc or .docx files ONLY) should be submitted on Moodle, and those received late will be subject to the late penalty. Don’t forget to hit the SUBMIT button. •
