  Health literacy skills have been linked with desirable health outcomes. The pedagogical approach of Paulo Freire provides a framework for improving health literacy among underserved communities and for raising consciousness within communities about the social

  material

  and economic factors that affect health status. This article provides a framework for improving health literacy based on the pedagogy of Freire. The authors provide suggestions for how health literacy interventions can be based on collaboration between educators and the communities they serve. The model emphasizes reducing health disparities through raising consciousness about the contexts that affect a community’s health status and through encouraging community actions to address contextual factors.\n\n

  Adapting Paulo Freire's Pedagogy for Health Literacy Interventions

  Like many small island developing states

  Cape Verde faces a challenge with secondary school completion. The lack of global development goals for secondary education results in the lack of government policies to promote secondary education

  which may in effect be partially responsible for the drop in primary school completion The purpose of this paper is to identify the student populations who leave secondary school prior to completion based on Cape Verde’s Ministry of Education data

  which is disaggregated by municipality and school. In addition we link these student populations to socioeconomic factors in order to examine possible causes for their abandonment of schooling. This paper intends to draw attention to the issues facing secondary education in a small

  developing island nation and highlight policies that have proven effective in similar contexts. The case study of Cabo Verde can be used to generate secondary education policy discussions in other small island developing states (SIDS)

  as well as other sub-Saharan African nations.

  The Problem of Secondary Education Completion: The Case Study of Cape Verde

  A Small Island Developing State

  This study is intended to advance the application of an inter-sectional approach that focuses on the simultaneous operation of gender

  race/ethnicity

  and sexuality to the analysis of visual media

  such as advertisements. Despite the growing advocacy to systematically include intersectionality in our analyses of people’s experiences and identities

  on the one hand

  and their images/representations

  on the other

  sociologists still tend to analyze only one of these identities at a time. In this article

  we argue that the application of the intersectional approach leads to more complex and adequate understandings of how identities and power relations are constructed in visual media. Towards this end

  we conduct an intersectional analysis of Diesel advertisements using the concepts of racialized gender and gendered race

  and demonstrate the advantages of an intersectional analysis. In doing so

  we hope to provide an illustration of an intersectional analysis of visual media

  such as advertisements

  which could inform the work of others interested in conducting similar analyses.

  Teaching Issues of Inequality Through a Critical Pedagogy of Place

  There are over 7 billion people on the planet and of those about half live in situations of urban poverty. One seventh of the world’s population lives in favelas

  slums

  barrios

  and shantytowns. As the mass of humanity finds itself in urban poverty

  questions of how do we live become more pressing. We must re-imagine previous world views and how we conceive of global processes in light of where people are located. These centers of informal urban housing are not unique to any particular place in the world but are most commonly found throughout the developing world. The purpose of this paper is to theorize the future of cities and urban poverty. In this paper

  I describe the global situation of the urban poor and then locate this within the specifics of race and class by focusing on the case study of Brazil and the United States. I then explore the impact of global finance capital and the possibilities for a united working people’s movement.
