About half of states have, on a temporary or emergency basis, authorized professionals like dentists and paramedics to administer COVID-19 vaccines.

A team of Milken Institute School of Public Health researchers compiled an interactive map late last month showing which health professionals in each state are allowed to administer COVID-19 vaccines.
The map reveals that 24 states have implemented emergency legislation to expand authorization to groups of professionals, like dentists and paramedics, who aren’t typically responsible for dispensing vaccines. Julia Strasser, a senior research scientist at the public health school and the lead researcher on the project, said the map could inform public health leaders on neighboring states’ policies to guide their own state’s distribution guidelines and influence their rollout plans.

The new faces of Florida s MBA professors bring eclectic mix of talent and knowledge | 3/1/2021
DAVID L. MAJOR, 50 University of Miami, Miami
When Major joined the faculty of the University of Miami in 2019, it was a homecoming for the associate professor of professional practice. Major was born and raised in Miami, and his late mother worked in child care at the university, where he would head when his school day finished. “When I would get out of elementary school, I would spend my time running around that campus,” he says.
Now he’s teaching management and strategy classes in UM’s MBA program, where he takes an interactive approach in the classroom. “I make participation a huge part of my classes,” he says. “When it comes to strategy, it’s not black and white. There is so much in terms of gray areas, so talking through that is hugely important.”

New Book: “All the Rage”
All the Rage (Nightboat Books, 2021) is a new collection of poems by Lambda Award winner, Rosamond S. King, “conceptualizing state violence, racism, and the persistence of Black desire, resistance, and joy.”
Description:
All the Rage addresses everyday pleasure as well as the present condition of racism in the United States a time marked both by recurring police violence and intense artistic creativity from a variety of perspectives: being Black, an immigrant, a woman, and queer. At its core dwells “Living in the Abattoir,” a series in which people of color live out their days as both workers and meat. All the Rage simultaneously invokes both anger at ongoing systemic violence and the frivolity of something that is, perhaps temporarily, “trending.”
