Leisure and trauma-informed practice
Leisure has the potential to contribute to processes of colonization and decolonization. In this paper, we propose using trauma-informed practice as part of a decolonizing process in leisure service provision. While trauma-informed practice continues to have it critiques and limitations from a decolonizing perspective, its recognition of the widespread impact of trauma, the role colonization plays in this trauma, and the value it places on safety…
Reclaiming My Sister, Medusa: A Critical Autoethnography About Healing From Sexual Violence Through Solidarity, Doll-Making, and Mending Myth
According to the poet Ovid, Medusa was a beautiful maiden, who was raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple. Medusa called upon the goddess Athena for revenge, but, instead, Athena punished Medusa for defiling her temple, subjecting her to a terrible transformation. Her beautiful hair became poisonous serpents; her face so horrifying to behold it turned onlookers to stone. Some stories portray Medusa as asking for it or depict her as being uppity. Me…
Deleuze and Collaborative Writing in the Dance of Activism
Drawing upon and infused by the ‘micropolitical’ moves of Deleuze and Guattari, this article arose out of a participative workshop at the 2018 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry that took up Braidotti's proposition to explore how collaborative writing ‘like breathing, [is] not held into the mould of linearity, or the confines of the printed page, but move[s] outwards, out of bounds, in webs of encounters with ideas, others, texts’ (Bra…
Using found poetry to illuminate the existential and posttraumatic growth of women with breast cancer engaging in art therapy
Arts-based research (ABR) is an expanding methodological genre, which adapts the tenets of the creative arts to make social science research accessible, evocative, and engaging. It crosses the boundaries of both art and science, but has made few inroads within the discipline of psychology. This article describes a pilot project examining how art-making shaped the trajectories of women diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. Using ABR as a way of…
Immigrant children promoting environmental care: Enhancing learning, agency and integration through culturally-responsive environmental education
This paper examines the potential of culturally-responsive environmental education to engage immigrant early adolescents. Our study suggests that environmental involvement can become a means and an end for children to bridge their school and home in agential ways. Drawing from a multi-phase study involving focus groups with children, parents, and teachers from three culturally-diverse schools in Montreal, as well as a green action research projec…
Me and Goldilocks…Searching for What Is “Just Right” in Trauma Research: An Autoethnography
This is a reflexive account of the tensions and dilemmas emerging from my experience as a woman qualitative researcher researching trauma and tragedy in communities. Framed as an autoethnography, using my conflictual childhood feelings about Goldilocks as an overarching metaphor, I will weave fairy tale and experience into an examination of the impact I can have on individuals, families, and communities in the course in pursuing research. I will …
Found Poems, Member Checking and Crises of Representation
In order to establish veracity , qualitative researchers frequently rely on member checks to insure credibility by giving participants opportunities to correct errors, challenge interpretations and assess results; however, member checks are not without drawbacks. This paper describes an innovative approach to conducting member checks. Six members of a learning organization participated in two group interviews to examine the use of poetry as a met…
Learning in Third Spaces: Community Art Studio as Storefront University Classroom
Third spaces are in‐between places where teacher–student scripts intersect, creating the potential for authentic interaction and a shift in what counts as knowledge. This paper describes a unique community–university initiative: a third space storefront classroom for postsecondary students in professional education programs, which also functions as a community art studio for the surrounding neighborhood. This approach to professional education re…

“We Knew Her . . .” Murder in a Small Town: A Hybrid Work in Three Voices
This hybrid work blends three voices: a mother and daughter who were deeply impacted by the murder of the daughter’s best friend; my methodological notes from a research study examining the influence of violent trauma on communities; and my emotional memory gathered as I listened and relistened to the digital interview. Drawing on the forms of creative nonfiction and poetic transcription, this piece attempts to communicate the depth of grief, los…
The Clash of the Paradigms: Tracking, Cooperative Learning, and the Demolition of the Zone of Proximal Development
This report describes the effect of cooperative learning in low-track and regular classrooms, using the dimensions of student alienation, academic self-esteem, willingness to cooperate, and academic supportiveness. The investigators examined the influence of student agency in choosing peers for the cooperative groups in a high school science classroom. Results indicate that the ability for low-track students to choose group mates can result in gr…
Help or Harm: Symbolic violence, secondary trauma and the impact of press coverage on a community
This paper describes the impact of extensive journalistic coverage on a small community in Quebec that experienced the murder of a teenage girl by a local man. Press coverage of the case was intense, as journalists converged on the small rural town to cover the story and the subsequent arrest of the suspect and his parents. In presenting the voices of both local residents and a journalist, this paper illuminates the secondary trauma and symbolic …

Between a Rock and a Hard Place: The challenges of reporting about trauma and the value of reflective practice for journalists
Journalists are caretakers of the public interest. But when a community experiences a devastating trauma, lines of responsibility are less clear-cut. Are journalists responsible to the news consumer or the community experiencing the trauma? Which notion of public interest assumes precedence? How does journalistic responsibility translate into action when residents experience pain, but editors clamor for on-the-spot coverage? Creating spaces for r…

Emergent Issues When Researching Trauma: A Confessional Tale
This article examines the impact of conducting narrative research focusing on trauma and healing. It is told through three voices: the study participants who experienced the trauma, the researcher who shared her personal experiences conducting this research, and an academic colleague who acted as a reflective echo making sense of and normalizing the researcher's experience. Issues explored in the article include: harmonic resonance between the st…
