Description: Program Technical Representative Dr. Roger Hofmeister, Director of the “Malawi XIV” Child Health “Under-Fives’ Baby Clinic Project” (1968-1970) and the “Malawi XIV” Tuberculosis Control Project (1968-1970). Back in the United States, he became an early leader of Family Medicine at the University of Missouri. Twenty years later, in 1991, he returned to Malawi to provide medical care for three months at Likuni Mission Hospital, in Lilongwe. He found that the Peace Corps’ investment in child health in the 1960s had paid off handsomely: The Under-Fives’ Baby Clinics were still operating in most districts, coordinated by Malawi health assistants. Since retiring, he volunteers for the PET (Personal Energy Transportation) cart project (now called Mobility Worldwide), which has helped victims of polio, land mines, birth defects, and animal attacks in over 100 countries.

Title: Frances Reed Interview, October 26, 2019
Date: October 26, 2019
Creator: Cameron Sandlin; Frances Reed
Description: Whitman-Walker Health board member Frances Reed discusses their experiences learning about safe sex and AIDS. As a queer trans person growing up in Texas in the 1980s, they remember learning that sex was basically death. They reflect on learning about sex in college as a "rapid absorption" of information and sex positivity. Frances sees safe sex as a dicsussion between sexual partners at the beginning of a relationship. They remember first learning about AIDS when two close friends of her family were diagnosed, and they reflect on being personally compelled to fight the disease. They talk about why it's important to view AIDS as an ongoing problem, especially in underserved communities. Frances hopes the next generation will learn their history, understand the loss the LGBTQ+ community has suffered, and see sex not as death but as something that is pleasurable and liberating.

Title: Jess Dawson Interview, December 2, 2021
Date: December 2, 2021
Creator: Jess Dawson; Maddie Tinsley
Description: This interview was conducted on December 2, 2021 using the Their Story platform. The interview was intended to get Jess Dawson’s perspective on the topic of medical school applications and how the criteria of those applications affect medical students from minority communities. In this interview, Dawson discusses her perspective on the judgment of medical school applications and describes how most of the emphasis is placed on applicant’s work and volunteer experiences. Dawson describes how her personal work and research experiences prior to medical school set her application apart but also how the pressure to get so many experiences was ultimately damaging to her mental health. In an academic context, Dawson discusses her experiences taking the MCAT, the impact these tests have on medical students, and how recent changes to the STEP One exam have altered the medical school experience. Dawson describes how the importance of previous experience often disadvantages applicants from minority communities who don't have as many connections. She also described the privilege experienced by medical students who are children of doctors and thus have more connections and less barriers. She also discusses how she feels medical schools favor individuals from economically privileged backgrounds. She concludes the interview by describing her experience working to get some new questions on her medical school application and her perspective on how medical schools are pursuing a limited form of diversity.

Title: Kanie Pendarvis III Interview, March 24, 2015
Date: March 24, 2015
Creator: Person responsible unknown; Person responsible unknown
Description: SUMMARY: Kanie Pendarvis gives detailed history of his experiences with employment, mental health, housing, and the military. Born in DC 1954, Mr. Pendarvis was raised by foster parents; his foster father was employed as a printer. Mr. Pendarvis has had extensive education in college programs, the US Marine Corps, and health work certification. He sees himself as a people person and would like to work in home health aide. Mr. Pendarvis sees his criminal record as his biggest challenge to employment; he explains mandatory sentencing for drug possession and how his convictions impact him. Mr. Pendarvis discusses his time in the US Marine Corps and his travels through Europe. Mr. Pendarvis discusses recognizing and dealing with depression, and how complicated peoples’ experiences with homelessness are. Mr. Pendarvis describes training programs available in prisons. Mr. Pendarvis recalls his work experience from his first job to the present. Death of foster parents, mental health, and drug use made housing difficult. Mr. Pendarvis was a part of black empowerment movements in college. He recounts experiences with racism while in North Carolina during his time in the service, and how his international and military experience gave him a different perspective on issues of race. Mr. Pendarvis worked day labor and explains how that system worked in the 80s, and how it’s changed. He currently stays at Central Union Mission and gives an overview of their approach to aide. Mr. Pendarvis discusses the difference between unions and collegiate training programs. PROJECT’S OBJECTIVES: The Homeless Voices Amplification Co-op (HVAC) works to amplify stories of unhoused individuals’ past and present work experiences. Recognizing that unhoused individuals are the most valuable source of knowledge on the realities of their employment, HVAC partners with the unhoused to create space for strategic community reflection as a means to further activism for economic justice. HVAC believes stories have the power to humanize individuals and undermine stigmas and stereotypes in ways statistics cannot. HVAC intends to draw upon the power of these stories to create a powerful, multi-dimensional online platform that can enhance efforts to mobilize the community.

Title: Melissa Hawkins Interview, October 3, 2020
Date: October 3, 2020
Creator: Melissa Hawkins; Laura Sislen
Description: From the American University Department of Health Studies and Humanities Truck Fellow, Melissa Hawkins discusses the evolving impact of COVID-19. In some ways 7 months feels like a lifetime ago. The impact has been different for each member of her family including her 4 children such as adjusting to online schooling. She reflects on how fortunate the family has been to not be afflicted by job loss or illness; the day-to-day adjustments have been more impactful. Some silver-linings include: the amount of time spent together, re-evaluating what's important, who's important, and reaching out to loved ones. What keeps them going? Their pets! As there are many revealing lessons about the fragmentation of the health care and public health systems, Melissa, who works in public health, reflects on the mistrust of science and scientists that became apparent through this and hopes to build that trust to rely on science in times of uncertainty.
