Trauma-related experiences among people living with HIV in Zimbabwe
Contextual factors shape trauma experiences of people living with HIV in Zimbabwe • Strong family and community ties and chronic stress environments influence these experiences • Local idioms (“thinking too much”) capture a range of trauma sequelae • Depression-focused interventions were generally well received by participants • Chronic stress and avoidance tendencies may need added focus to optimise care
Using digital qualitative diaries to understand how socioeconomic disadvantage shaped young people’s academic experiences and mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic
Trust at Work
The benefit of survivor participation in human trafficking research is becoming increasingly recognised. Ethical and equitable relationships between qualitative researchers and lived experience experts rely on developing trust within the research team, yet literature on building trusting partnerships with survivor researchers is scarce. For survivors of labour exploitation and human trafficking, employment and workplace practices may reactivate t…
The Modern Slavery Core Outcome Set
There is no consensus on the outcomes needed for the recovery and reintegration of survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking. We developed the Modern Slavery Core Outcome Set (MSCOS) to address this gap. We conducted three English-language reviews on the intervention outcomes sought or experienced by adult survivors: a qualitative systematic review (4 databases, 18 eligible papers, thematic analysis), a rapid review of quantitative interv…
How does domestic violence stigma manifest in women’s lives in Afghanistan? A study of survivors’ lived experiences of help-seeking across three provinces
Afghanistan has one of the highest rates of domestic violence in the world, with an estimated 46% women reporting lifetime violence. Survivors of domestic violence experience significant stigma from their families and communities, often in the form of blame, shame, gossip, and dismissal. While the manifestations of stigma are often the same across cultural settings, the drivers may be different. We conducted sixty semi-structured interviews with …
Traumatic Imagination in Traditional Stories of Gender-Based Violence
Traumatic imagination includes creative processes in which traumatic memories are transformed into narratives of suffering. This article emphasizes the importance of storytelling in victims' mental health and offers a literary perspective on how some women's experiences of suffering can be expressed in the telling of traditional stories, which confer some protection from stigma to individual women in Turkish and Afghan societies
‘My story is like a magic wand’
Telling one's personal story of violence can both support women's agency and contribute to the collective struggle against violence against women more broadly
Epistemic Injustice and Land Restitution in the Case of Protected Areas
Conservation and political ideology were closely interlinked in apartheid South Africa: forced removals in areas considered important for conservation was a common practice. Post-Apartheid reforms sought to address the injustices of the past, and at the level of policy, the Land Restitution Act of 1994 recognizes the injustices suffered by specific groups during Apartheid providing a framework to address their claims. However, the land claims pro…
The possibility of addressing epistemic injustice through engaged research practice
Questions of epistemic injustice in relation to community engagement activities have rarely been interrogated. While it is often purported that when academics and community members are involved in the co-creation of knowledge through a mutually beneficial exchange of resources and expertise, all participants emerge as active stakeholders in the knowledge production process, little research has been done on how academics or community partners expe…
A contemporary phenomenology of menstruation
Challenging the dominant ideological paradigm
In this paper, we aim to put forward a view of philosophy that allows for the transformation of the discipline through community engagement activities within the South African higher education context in a way that enhances both the nature of the production and dissemination of philosophical knowledge and the project of philosophy simpliciter. This view contrasts strongly with what we call the dominant ideological paradigm that currently governs …
Vulnerability and the Sovereign Individual
In her paper Pity and Mercy: Nietzsche's Stoicism, Martha Nussbaum argues that Nietzsche's philosophical project can be seen in part as an attempt to ‘bring about a revival of Stoic values of self-command and self-transformation’. She argues that, to his detriment, Nietzsche's ‘Sovereign Individual’ epitomises a kind of stoic ideal of inner strength and self-sufficiency that ‘goes beyond Stoicism’ in its valorisation of radical self emancipation …
Questions of the Self in the Personal Autonomy Debate
Currently, the most influential accounts of personal autonomy, at least in the English-speaking world, focus on providing conditions under which agents can be said to exercise self-control. Two distinct accounts of personal autonomy have emerged in this tradition: firstly, hierarchical models grounded in the work of Harry Frankfurt; and secondly, systems division models most famously articulated by Gary Watson. In this paper, I will show the inad…
The Doctrine of Eternal Recurrence and its significance with respect to On the Genealogy of Morals
Reading the writings of Nietzsche is somewhat like putting together a large and complex jigsaw puzzle. In this paper I aim to show how two pieces of Nietzsche‘s puzzle fit together: the first piece being the Doctrine of Eternal Recurrence; and the second piece being On the Genealogy of Morals. In order to see how these two pieces lock in to one another we must understand that Nietzsche‘s great love of fate – his ‘Amor Fati’ – is what he calls the…
