- Jakob: Framework
- Unsure of notes, specific words
- Narrowed: Focus on using PA and nutrition to serve underserved populations.
- One to two terms.
- Using the "right" terms and works...
- Not deficit-framing or perspective - shift framing
- Stephanie: What product are we looking to outline?
- Jakob: Yes, having statement down.
- Mission statement - lengthy
- Inclusive, yet specific
- Karen: Come up from the faculty, rather than down from the top.
- Jakob: Not everyone necessarily "has" to fit, some people might need to move a bit to fit.
- Needs to be broad, but not so specific.
- Stephanie found: "I will start with presenting the suggestion that I have been developing for some time now: “physical activity and health” with an emphasis on ”addressing health disparities in underserved populations”. I will provide more details and rational at the meeting. This is only one possible focus for us to consider." From January message.
- Karen: another message, "Emphasis on serving underserved populations."
- Austin: start with ideas: use main terms, as starting point.
- Stephanie: using population health, then narrow.
- Jakob: Clear task?
- Austin: Take sentence, wordsmith it, send back to Jakob & Karen
- Jakob: Exactly; shouldn't take a long time.
- Could do "what means to you?"
STARTING POINT: The focus of the Dept of KHPR is physical activity and health with an emphasis on addressing disparities in underserved populations.
- Stephanie: Does fit with RESM folks?
- Austin: General enough? But not a catch-all.
- Autsin: "physical activity" potential limiting
- Holistically inclusive
- "underserved" ⇒ in diverse populations
- Stephanie: Looking through one's lens, describing "ethnic minority" within "underserved"→ focal enough to standout
- Mitigate difference
- Austin: Statement a goal, rather than real-time description
- How can we work, together in this direction?
- Stephanie: "focus is to optimize health through PA, recreation, etc. with an emphasis on underserved populations."
- "Underserved" broad enough; will people be comfortable answering questions regarding this area?
- "physical activity" → broader, helps "laymen" catch up to "what is kinesiology"
FINAL DRAFT: The departmental focus of the faculty of Kinesiology, Health Promotion, & Recreation is to address the disparities in physical activity and holistic well being among underserved populations.
