The LASER PULSE consortium has developed a Guiding Questions Workbook to provide a concise process to develop a research translation strategy and plan for evidence utilization in international development. Academic researchers, development practitioners, and donors can use this workbook to strategize and plan for research impact.
LASER PULSE, which stands for Long-term Assistance and SErvices for Research (LASER) Partners for University-Led Solutions Engine (PULSE), is a $70 million cooperative agreement with USAID led by Purdue University with partners University of Notre Dame, Makerere University, Catholic Relief Services and IU.

A recent LASER Focused webinar introduced the resource and gave practical examples for how the workbook could be used to improve research translation. Additionally, two representatives from the LASER PULSE consortium attended the 2022 Social Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) Summit in Morocco to promote the LASER PULSE program and launch the new workbook.

Examples of my workbook agenda include, but not limited to, topics ranging from team productivity to feedback on hiring process, or from setting concrete goals for personal development to career aspirations discussion.
The workbook approach creates a central location to keep track of the ongoing thread of discussions. This eliminates the need for mentally tracking important topics throughout the week. Most importantly, it allows ease of following up on past discussion and actionable items. This drives accountability and ownership from both managers and their direct reports.
Since I started employing this technique, I feel a sense of calmness -- a more tranquil world with less internal chatters and stress from either remembering important-but-not-urgent conversations to be had or being a constant source of interruption for my team. This helps me to become more mindful, present and organized in my day-to-day life.
Sources I came across before Kate's book defined around 10-20 or so gender identities, most of them bearing some relation to the traditional male/female or in-between. However Kate considers age, race, class and other things to be part of gender identity. She has constructed a gender pyramid as shown below:
In the exercises in the book, Kate is asking about gender as she defines it. So it includes all these aspects. That makes it kind of confusing. for one thing, the "ideal gender" that society wants us to achieve is the top of the pyramid, which is rich white male. She also mentions an "ideal female" gender, but never says how it fits in exactly.
I think perhaps she is trying to encourage us to buck societal pressure and become "gender outlaws". That is all very well if that's what you want to do. But most people I have encountered online recently don't seem to want that. Most of us identify as either male or female, some gender fluid or bi-gender, and a few in other categories (trying not to exclude anyone here). But most of us very much want to fit in to whatever gender we personally have chosen.
Also if the society-driven notion of gender is just a kind of propaganda to reinforce the status quo, what sense is there in pursuing one particular gender? Isn't that kind of demoralizing for somebody who tries?
I recently had a conversation with my spouse about this. She is a feminist (and I also consider myself to be a feminist). She had trouble understanding my point of view after I had read Kate's book and tried to think in Kate's terms. My spouse thinks in terms of male and female. She is happy for people to choose which they are, or choose in-between or neither. But she has trouble thinking about it in terms other than male and female and in-beween. Perhaps I wasn't the best at explaining my point of view, and perhaps I don't fully understand Kate's point of view. It was a confusing conversation. I think maybe trying to understand Kate's book I confused myself to the point where I was difficult to make sense of.
First of all, Kate Bornstein's workbook there is nearly 40 years old, and yes at the time she was encouraging us to go deeper into the puzzle of what is called Gender. I have met Kate in person and have sat in on discussions where she has admitted that she would write things differently today than she did then. We have many newer writers today who have a different slant on things. "Aunt Kate" as she told my group we could address her in person is one of our early pioneers and deserves full respect and love for what she did observe back in her day, but is also a person who is happy to let you explore who you are as you wish.
That all depends on which Social Scientist you happen to hear at a given moment. Some do, some don't, some can't, and some won't. All races and classes do have their own views on what constitutes gender roles, which matches people with expected life actions and goals of what their cultures define gender to be. Look at various religious communities such as the Amish, and even some elements of Roman Catholic and Southern Baptists and you will see "gender roles written in stone so to speak. Believe it or not GRAND parents are separated from parents as to gender roles.
I would recommend Julia Serano's book Whipping Girl and its updates as a closer approach to Trans gender things in general, and while reading. or whenever, discuss your personal ideas with a Gender Therapist who will about 99% affirm you as YOU and you will be the right you. 1% error for personal safety reasons.
Thanks, Vicky. I'll add Whipping Girl to my list. Right now I'm working on Dara Hoffman-Fox's "You and your gender identity: a guide to discovery". I have been looking around for a GT, or at least a therapist with some background in gender.
Check with your LGBTQ Center up there for a recommendation is my best suggestion. If you are a Kaiser Health member they have good competent counselors. Planned Parenthood would be another source of Gender competent therapists.
Hi @Nicole D! The post is a touch dated, but I've read the book, using it as a workbook. After getting about halfway through, I felt I needed something different & found as you, You & Your Gender Identity. I found the second a lot more helpful for understanding me. I did find Kate Bernstein's book very helpful in opening my eyes to gender beyond the binary, she opened the door for me very well, she also helped me grasp gender is on a spectrum & can change. Both were very helpful to me in taking an honest, open look at my "dirty little secret".
@VickySGV, I just finished Julia Serano's Whipping Girl recently. Wow, she is well-read. That book is dense. I liked the way it was fairly informal and contained touching experiences from her own life. Julia really cuts to the core of all the -holy buckets- that is out there. I found myself at times saying "you go girl". Thanks for the recommendation.

Our life's rhythm is often borrowed from the pace of life around us. Humans have created such a loud, fast tempo of perfection and production that we often forget--if we ever knew it at all--the rhythms designed for our well-being. In The Sacred Pulse, pastor and author April Fiet invites us to examine the frantic patterns of our lives to reclaim the deeper, sacred pulses that pattern our days. Through stories, scripture, and practical guidance for daily living, she lays out twelve rhythms--including gardening, handcrafts, friendship, and holidays--that are both sustainable and sustaining. Everyday acts like mealtime and shopping, and sporadic rhythms like the occasional snow day: reclaiming these patterns can remind us of the holy movement of God in the world.
In a world of hustle and bravado, silencing the noise takes practice. The Sacred Pulse shows us how to strip away all of the competing beats we have settled for so we can tap into the joyful, holy rhythms of life.
"April Fiet welcomes readers into a space that is both contemplative and practical. The book draws on a wealth of spiritual insight to help readers retreat from the busyness of life and recenter their lives around rhythms that heal, restore, and sustain."
"I felt seen by this book, in a way that was uncomfortable at first. The unsettling insight into my frenetic performance for God was the opening I needed to hear April Fiet's invitation: to learn to dance with God again, finding rhythms that are, paradoxically, like rest in motion." 152ee80cbc
