Anti Oppressive Practice

By Academic Wizard Blog

Anti Oppressive Practice

This is a professionally written, concise, and thorough examination and application of ideas and knowledge gained through your reading, discussion, and research in this course.

Your final paper will be approximately four to six pages in length, will adhere to APA formatting and standards for academic writing and presentation, and will be the culmination of your own reflection, research, and writing.

In this paper please address the following:

What is anti-oppressive practice (AOP)?,
- In your definition/explanation of AOP consider key concepts such as privilege power and oppression.,
- discuss AOP as a response to privilege and power.,
- Bring in course content in your discussion of AOP.,
- DO not rely solidly on someone else’s definition – show that you understand this as an idea central to SW practice.,
Why is it important for our profession to move forward understanding not only what AOP is but how to engage in it.,
- Here it would be pertinent to provide definitions and to connect ideas with professional ethics and values.,
- You should also include some discussion/understanding of the history/legacy of our profession that has not always/does not always mirror anti-oppressive practices:, How has social work engaged in system oppression?
Select one area of practice that is important to you and examine how practice in this area has been complicit in oppression and injustice. TIP: Choose a population/practice space that is important to you professionally.
Anti Oppressive Practice
- you should use scholarly research/peer reviewed sources to comprise this section of your paper
- you will likely have to infer from history and prior “best practices” to discuss what has been complicit in oppression and injustice – this may not be evident in the literature.
Provide a discussion of what anti-oppression would look like in this same space. Be creative and specific here. This is an opportunity for you to re-imagine facets of social work practice. Explain why this is anti-oppressive.
Identify three ways in which you will engage in anti-oppressive practice; connect this to learning in the course/readings/modules and, when appropriate, to the specific population/area of practice you have identified.

Your paper should utilize a minimum of seven sources inclusive of those found within the course and those you’ve researched on your own. A mix of journal articles, reflections, opinion essays, books, etc. is appropriate for this paper.

Anti Oppressive Practice

YOUR WORKS CITED PAGE MUST INCLUDE AN ACCURATE WEB LINK TO EACH SOURCE OR YOU MUST UPLOAD A PDF OF THE SOURCE. THIS PROTECTS YOU AS A STUDENT AS IT CUTS DOWN ON USE OF AI GENERATED SOURCES.

NOTE: For this paper you need to hone in on one specific area of practice – this could be child welfare, working with older adults, sport social work, hospice and palliative care, clinical practice with teens, addictions/recovery, housing and homelessness, etc. Your module 10 assignment will serve as an ‘approval’ of a topic.

Technology Transfer Research Paper

By Academic Wizard Blog

Technology Transfer Research Paper

Objective

The purpose of this Technology Transfer Research Paper is to gather and summarize authoritative information about how technologies are transitioned from the Research & Development (R&D) lab to the product development organizations which incorporate leading and emerging technologies into new products and services.

Overview

Your task is to research, analyze, and discuss the processes involved in helping technologies emerge (“transition”) from the R&D environment to product development organizations so that the technologies can be incorporated into products and services which meet the needs of the consumers, businesses, and government agencies. Your research should include technology transfer processes and initiatives along with funding sources, i.e. venture capital, government grants, etc. You should also address the technology development lifecycle and the role of funding availability at each of the lifecycle stages (See NIST GCR 02-841). Address what happens when adequate funding is not readily available and what impacts that deficiency has upon the development and transitioning of technologies from labs to products.

To begin, review the following documents and resources about technology transfer processes and initiatives. Continue your research by investigating the availability (or lack) of federal funding for innovations in the cybersecurity area.

What is a technology?
http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Engineering_Technology/What_is_technology
Between Invention and Innovation: An Analysis of Funding for Early-Stage Technology Development (NIST GCR 02–841)
https://www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/2017/05/09/gcr02-841.pdf (you must use this exact version)

Technology Transfer @ DHS
- https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-technology/technology-transfer-program
- https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/t2c_factsheet-final.pdf

Next, research the role that private funding (venture capital) plays in providing money and resources to innovators who are developing cybersecurity technologies and products. How does the availability of venture capital impact the development of technology? How do venture capitalists influence the emergence or death of technology developments? Provide specific examples from your research.
