Developing the notion of \u201cthe body as home\u201d within feminist and disability studies scholarship, I explore the potential of home and, particularly, the body as home, as a porous and mobile space rather than a static and secure location. In doing so, I demonstrate the value of recognizing that, like disability, home is relational. I discuss the relationship between impairment and disability within disability studies to outline the benefits of thinking of these together. I consider the usefulness of two contemporary conceptualizations of the body in relation to disability: Eli Clare\u2019s location of non-normative bodies at a crossroads and Jasbir Puar\u2019s notion of \u201cswitch points of bodily capacity.\u201d I consider ethical implications of this formation of the body as home through consideration of Derrida\u2019s ethics of hospitality.<\/p>\n
Gendered Violence and Support Services: Understanding Barriers to Seeking Services or Receiving Assistance<\/h3>\n
Kerryn Bell, PhD<\/strong> Lindsey Upton, PhD<\/strong> Wednesday, May 22 Historically, the mainstream women\u2019s rights movement has neglected the inclusion of intersectionality, specifically as it operates in the experiences of marginalized populations disproportionately affected by sexual violence and trauma.<\/p>\n The current study is an exploratory analysis using focus groups and in-depth interviews to critically examine perceptions of barriers faced in seeking domestic violence and intimate partner violence services in a northwest community in the United States.<\/p>\n As conversations about victim\u2019s rights are increasingly discussed at a national level, it is a critical time for communities to evaluate and assess the inclusion of marginalized persons within service provider networks.<\/p>\n This study examines local level data in order to identify gaps within the victim assistance networks, the perceptions of practitioners involved, and social problems identified by service providers that disproportionately impact victims, creating barriers for victim assistance.<\/p>\n Wednesday, May 29 As coffee has grown from an anonymous commodity to a specialty product that goes directly from producer to roaster to consumer, women\u2019s roles in coffee have grown as well. This talk explores those changing experiences.<\/p>\n When I started researching coffee in the 1990s, women in Latin American coffee communities were generally included only as tokens, expected to be silent partners both in producing coffee and in organizations. But the specialty coffee market has created opportunities for women to take their place as leaders in coffee. I\u2019ll explore those changes and profile a few women involved in growing coffee in the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica, reflecting on their changing experiences.<\/p>\n All of our events are wheelchair accessible and fragrance-free.
