Community and Therapeutic Recreation faculty, students win awards
Faculty, students and alumni from UNCG’s Department of Community and Therapeutic Recreation received multiple awards at the 2012 North Carolina Recreation and Park Association – Therapeutic Recreation (TR) Section Annual Conference. These awards recognize the achievements of people who teach, advocate for, and design therapeutic recreation and inclusive practices on behalf of people from underrepresented groups.
Recipients and their awards are:st
Dr. Leandra Bedini – TR Instructor of the Year Award
Kathryn Giampa – TR Scholarship Award
Kimberly Epley MS ’05 – Individual TR Service Award
Dr. Stuart J. Schleien, Ginger Walton and Lindsey Brake – Best New TR Program for their Photovoice initiative. Schleien and Walton were project co-directors; Brake served as project coordinator.
Photovoice is a creative form of research that has placed individuals with intellectual or other developmental disabilities in charge of documenting their lives and creating a ‘voice’ through photography. Throughout this participatory and community-based journey, photographers from The Arc of Greensboro, Beyond Academics and their peers without disabilities share perspectives on access, participation and social inclusion. They discuss their photos through individual and group meetings in order to generate critical dialogue about inclusion within our community. The photographs and accompanying narratives with participant quotes are creatively displayed at community-wide exhibitions in order to increase awareness, influence perspectives and instigate change toward a more inclusive community.
The next Photovoice exhibition will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 5 at the Friendly Center Caribou Coffee, 3109 Northline Avenue.
