WEBSITES, VIDEOS AND OTHER FORMS OF SCHOLARSHIP

Short video: “Transforming Data Systems to Achieve Health Equity for LGBTQ+ Communities” (2022)

I imagined, scripted, and recruited speakers for the video with a youth leader as part of Robert Wood
Foundations’ project, Transforming Public health Data Systems.

Short video: “What LGBTQ Students Want from their Faculty” (2019)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1TPJoYKw5E&feature=youtu.be
15 LGBTQ-identified Penn students tell faculty what they need in order to fully participate and learn
in the classroom: (1) Recognize LGBTQ students in your classroom; (2) Respect pronouns; (3)
Integrate LGBTQ content and voices; (4) Be brave in managing your classroom; and (5) Practice
humility and be open to learning. This video was produced by faculty, staff and students at the
University of Pennsylvania with support from Penn Futures Project and the Provost's Excellence
Through Diversity program.

Short video: “252: The School District of Philadelphia’s Policy on Love and Respect” (2016)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTbifbMwSIU. This short video introduces the team of youth
who helped create Policy 252, the School District of Philadelphia's Policy for transgender and gender
non-conforming youth and highlights some of the key themes--including love and respect--that are
central to the policy.

Documentary: “A Legacy of Courage: W.E.B. Du Bois and The Philadelphia Negro” (2011)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQX_0uyDgGw 19-minute documentary filmed and edited by
high school and undergraduate students; focuses on Du Bois’ research in Philadelphia and its meaning
for us, today; tells story of chance meeting between black woman whose grandmother was born in the
Seventh Ward and the white man who now lives in her grandmother’s old house.

Website: The Ward: Race and Class in Du Bois’ Seventh Ward (2012-present) www.dubois-theward.org.
This website replaced www.mappingdubois (2006). Created for teaching, research, and public history
project about Du Bois’ book, The Philadelphia Negro (1899) about Philadelphia’s historic Seventh Ward;
includes materials for 5-day high school curriculum teaching about Du Bois, race and racism, social
science methods and mapping, interpretation of primary sources and involving two documentaries, a
board game, role-playing exercises, walking tour, and mural.

Web-based mapping application: Seventh Ward GIS on ArcGIS.com (2022). Because of web-based
mapping software changes, this is the fourth iteration of the Seventh Ward GIS, developed in
partnership with Dr. Stephanie Boddie and colleagues at Baylor University. Interactive online GIS
with individual-level census data for 28,000 residents of Seventh Ward in 1900; allows visitors to
search by address or map, query database, and make thematic maps.

Board game: The Ward (2012). Intended for high school students; game board is based on Du Bois’ map
of social class structure of black residents in the Seventh Ward; features real black residents of
Philadelphia as characters; players choose a character and have to complete missions consistent with
class of character; features historic Seventh Ward institutions; players move along streets, answering
questions and acting out and drawing key concepts from The Philadelphia Negro.
