We will be talking in class about the kinds of advocacy that you might do, and brainstorming issues in your future field that your research and voice could address. Most importantly, you need to choose the appropriate audience and employ rhetorical skills to convince them to create the necessary change. Again, we will be workshopping your projects in class to ensure actionable, appropriate, and research-guided projects.
Requirements:
- 5-8 slide PowerPoint, with cited information
- Completion of 5-7 minute presentation in which you advocate for direct, actionable change toward a specific audience [hint: it won’t be us!]
- Notes / talk is clearly practiced and fits into the time frame given here
- Uses research from the semester to help support and make claims for change
***The topic is about tactical military medicine. Specifically the change of mindset needed to transition from Global war on terror to large scale combat operations in a medical sense. Specifically having personnel train in things such as prolonged casualty field care, austere medicine, and unconventional medicine. A good example is the medicine being practice in Ukraine currently. Think about who the audience would be for the call to action. It should be appealing to military leadership and medical professionals in the department of defense. We should be giving the audience to do physically different outside of themselves. The goal is to identify the problem, appeal to the appropriate audience, steps to get there, the appropriate outcome and the steps to get there, and finally interconnectedness with all the above. Please reach out if there are any questions.
