Health is a human right!

“The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that’s wrong with the world.”

This statement from physician and anthropologist Paul Farmer serves as shorthand for the mission statement of Partners In Health (PIH), the organization he helped found three decades ago to advance the belief that health is a human right.

(Washington University in St. Louis, Assembly Series: Paul Farmer (n.d. [retrieved 2022.03.24])

The Great Art Explained YouTube channel

Over the weekend, based on recent web searches I suppose, YouTube suggested a video about Vincent van Gogh from the Great Art Explained channel.

Image source: https://www.youtube.com/c/GreatArtExplained

​Another video that I noticed in the channel, after viewing the one suggested, was about Hokusai's Great Wave:

• The Great Wave [of Kanagawa] by Hokusai (2021.05.17, 17:00)

​That particular woodblock print had been a student's choice of favorite artwork for a short in-class presentation last week.

The clear, deliberate explanations in videos on the Great Art Explained channel, with closed captions available, would make excellent resource choices​ for extensive out-of-class listening, reading-along, and shadowing practice.

  "Virtual work demands everyone’s commitment to communicating – listening and speaking up. How else will the team ensure everyone is working on the right track? This isn’t optional. The team depends on each other. Individually and collectively, the “virtual job” creates outputs that come from coordinating work, managing each other, negotiating competing priorities, and delivering team outcomes through coordinated efforts" (How do we work together if we're working apart?)
