This examines the perceptions of interprofessional collaboration from theperspectives of midwives and obstetricians, and contrasts how these perceptions varyby the profession. Data was collected in two ways: through an online survey and semistructuredinterviews. Midwives and obstetricians were asked about their experienceswith collaboration, their perspectives on the barriers to collaboration and thoughts aboutan improved system in Ontario to facilitate enhanced maternity care collaboration. Theresults demonstrate the key barriers to collaboration including contentious views onscope of practice, the definition and interpretation of interprofessional collaboration andvarying philosophies of care. The changing landscape of maternity care in Ontario isimminent; family doctors who provide obstetrical care are on the decline, increasing theworkload for obstetricians and midwives necessitating the need to eliminate barriers toachieve successful interprofessional collaboration.

Recognition has grown that moral behavior (e.g., generosity) plays a role in status attainment, yetit remains unclear how, why, and when demonstrating moral characteristics enhances status.Drawing on philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and organizational behavior, I criticallyreview a third route to attaining status: virtue, and propose a moral virtue theory of statusattainment to provide a generalized account of the role of morality in status attainment. Themoral virtue theory posits that acts of virtue elicit feelings of warmth and admiration (for virtue), and willing deference, towards the virtuous actor. I further consider how the scope and priorityof moralities and virtues endorsed by a moral community are bound by culture to affect whichmoral characteristics enhance status. In particular, I theorize that virtues pertaining to community(e.g., humility) and divinity (e.g., cleanliness) are more effective to attain status in collectivisticcultures; whereas virtues pertaining to autonomy (e.g., rights) are more effective to attain statusin individualistic cultures. Four experimental studies were conducted to examine the proposedtheory. Studies 1 to 3 found that demonstrating a variety of virtues, including humility, cleanliness, and (advocating for human) rights, elicited admiration for virtue, which in turn led avirtuous actor to attain status. Expressing humility and cleanliness was more effective inattaining status in a collectivistic culture (India) than in an individualistic culture (the U.S.).Importantly, the positive impact of virtues on status attainment generally did not depend on thevirtuous actor's levels of competence. Study 4 showed that expressing humility led people to seethe humble actor as a more desirable leader and to be influenced by the humble actor in acollaborative cognitive task. Humility and cultural self-construals interacted to affect the actor'sstatus through admiration for virtue. Specifically, individuals with high interdependent selfconstrualsadmired humility to a greater degree than those with low interdependent self

This project offers an in-depth analysis of the creation myth as described in Plato's Tingeus, in an effort to discuss his overall approach to the relationship between the soul, music in education, and wellness. The immortal soul of humankind, by this approach, shares a certain harmonic rhythm with the divine and the World Soul as created by the Demiurge. This harmony in the mimetic form of music is a tool, provided as a means for attunement and stability by the Demiurge and the lesser gods, for the sake of humankind, as well as their own goals of achieving certain missing perfections. The immmortal soul's experience of embodiment and exposure to the sensible world isdescribed as tumultuous and chaotic upon the soul, thus requiring constant attunement. Music is a mechanism capable of turning the individual towards that which is Good. Music is a mimetic art, imitating the harmonies of the divine much of the creation myth is spent exposing the layers of mimetic relationships between the Demiurge, his creations, and the gifts provided by the gods to humankind. Its mimetic nature elevates its importance and allows it to alter the moral nature of an individual. Because of this relationship that it shares, Plato places music at a place of utmost importance, paired with gymnastics, in a proper education to help acclimate the soul
