Autoethnography of Industry
AKPdLThe environmental legacies left behind by industrial production are pervasive in the air, the soil, and the water. This elemental elixer surrounds us.
In the field of STS, it is perhaps obvious to suggest that institutions have cultures, norms, standards, and professional ways of being. Yet, what are we to make of the results of industry telling its own past publically. The corporate origin story could be a footnote in Joseph's Campbells work. The allure of the lone individual working tirelessly until an innovation is produced and the market takes over.
Yet, the Wood River Refinery tells a different story. One about place, about people, about the terrible minutia of life lived within bureaucracy. Yes, the story told is glossy and teleological, but the question emerges. What can be learned about the stories industry tells about itself? What do these artifacts contribute to histories and what weight do we give to these stories within the Anthropocene?
The factory at Wood River is both a place where labor is maximized for profit, but also where worker devote 40 precious hours of their week. Lives persist and even thrive in the factory. Are the stories of these lives at Wood River?

Andreas_RebmannIt appears that is is an expanded version of the document created orginally in order to facilitate changes in the treatment of mental health and better define what an IMD needs and is.

Andreas_RebmannIt defines and provides provisions for Intitutes of Mental Disorders where public mental health would be addressed. It also allows for pay exclusion to those of certain ages, allowing for more treatment to those that may be more at-risk.

Andreas_RebmannVulnerable populations for mental health issues seem to be covered by pay exclusion. Those younger than 21 or 22 are included, which appear to be the most at-risk for mental illness.

Andreas_RebmannI could barely find anything on this in particular. In general, there have been more and more support for a stronger mental health system in the United States and while this policy furthers development, some people believe that there is much more that is needed.

Andreas_RebmannIt defines where we would take psych transports. Otherwise it does not directly address first responders.
