This study seeks to understand how public health leaders and more fully take into account the influence of American Individualism on public health practice. The values and ethics of public health as a discipline is at odds with the powerful and prominent cultural narrative of American Individualism. This misalignment is weakens the population level aim of public health and prioritizes individual freedom and ideas above the needs of the whole public. But American Individualism is normalized and permanent part of how Americans understand the world. Public health leaders must better engage, communicate, and act within the context of American Individualism, even though it does not align with there approach to health and health improvement.
Students' preconceptions about Black Holes (BHs) have yet to be rigorously documented in an academic capacity, and as such there is currently no universal resource available to inform instructors as to how to best lead instruction on BH's and BH related topics. We hope to create a BH concept survey in order to collect data concerning student preconceptions about BHs and Relativity. This data will be analyzed to determine what topics are most important to address in University level Intro Astronomy courses. This will allow for construction of a BH/Relativity lesson plan that could then be applied at multiple Universities.
