Understanding Psychological Factors in Vulvodynia and Developing CBT-Based Treatment: Qualitative Study of Women in Ibiaku Issiet Community
Authors: Olsson Imaobong
Published: July 2024

The research aimed to understand the psychological factors associated with vulvodynia among women in the Ibiaku Issiet community and to develop a culturally sensitive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based treatment tailored to their specific needs and cultural context. The qualitative research design was employed, using semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. Participants were women aged 20 to 50 from the community who experienced vulvodynia. Five different themes emerged from the data analysis, such as lack of cultural awareness, stigma and shame, guilt, anxiety, and depression. The findings suggest that cultural norms and attitudes regarding sexuality, gender roles, and pain expression significantly influence the diagnosis, treatment, and management of vulvodynia. These psychological factors of anxiety and depression were found to be closely linked to increased pain severity and disability in vulvodynia, profoundly affecting women's quality of life, emotional well-being, sexual function, and relationships. The study recommends enhancing awareness and understanding of vulvodynia within the Ibiaku Issiet community through educational initiatives that provide comprehensive information about the condition, its symptoms, and available treatment options.

Enfermedad y absurdo en el fantástico martinezestradiano.
Authors: Gasillón María Lourdes
Published: July 2024

En la narrativa de Ezequiel Martínez Estrada (1895-1964) encontramos la recurrencia de algún síntoma que se convierte en el elemento central sobre el que se edifica el efecto fantástico, marcado por una insistencia que tiende a la exageración y el absurdo. Nos detendremos en “Juan Florido, padre e hijo, minervistas” para observar personajes sometidos a una cefalea incontrolable, al tiempo que los sucesos se van enrareciendo a partir de una atmósfera desconcertante. El autor diseña un final inesperado, trabajado desde la ironía, el grotesco, la sinestesia y la hipérbole que alimentan una mirada crítica respecto del contexto social y político.

“Descendió a los infiernos”: poesía, viaje y testimonio en La Dama de Elche (1987) de Amanda Berenguer
Authors: Puppo María Lucía
Published: July 2024

La Dama de Elche (1987) de Amanda Berenguer (Montevideo, 1921-2010) presenta el relato poético de un viaje por distintas geografías y períodos de la vida de una mujer madura. En el momento culminante de la travesía, la hablante poética desciende al inframundo e interroga a la sibila de Cumas. El objetivo del presente trabajo es ofrecer una lectura de este poemario a la luz de la Divina Comedia de Dante Alighieri, hipotexto privilegiado en el que confluyen la visión grecorromana y cristiana del infierno. Como es típico de la poesía de Amanda Berenguer, el relato que se despliega a través de los poemas enlaza lo personal y lo colectivo, lo referencial y lo mitológico, el trance de la llegada a la escritura con la dolorosa toma de conciencia de una escritora comprometida con su tiempo. De ese modo, se ofrece una versión laica y terrenal del infierno, visualizado por la poeta en su ciudad y su país bajo el terrorismo de Estado.
La actualización dramática de Jesucristo en la tetralogía religiosa de Maruxa Vilalta
Authors: Cervera Salinas Vicente
Published: July 2024

La obra dramática de Maruxa Vilalta Jesucristo entre nosotros (1995) forma parte de la tetralogía religiosa que la autora escribió y estrenó en México en los años noventa del pasado siglo XX. Este trabajo propone mostrar la unidad interna de las cuatro piezas teatrales incidiendo en la personal actualización de la figura de Jesucristo que implementa escénicamente Vilalta, en un contexto teórico donde la crítica socio-política dominante en la obra de la autora mexicana halla un cauce religioso enmarcado en los presupuestos de la teología de la liberación, presente en la iglesia latinoamericana del último tercio del siglo XX. Al aunar inmanencia y trascendencia religiosa, Vilalta consigue plasmar con eficaces medios dramatúrgicos la figura de un Jesucristo actualizado y activo en la una sociedad necesitada de consuelo y salvación.
Jesús místico y silente. Los rostros de Cristo en Vigilias (1994) de Javier Sicilia
Authors: Flores Alemán Marco
Published: July 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es rastrear la representación de Cristo en un poemario clave (Vigilias, 1994) de Javier Sicilia, uno de los poetas religiosos más importantes del México contemporáneo. A través de un análisis intertextual de los poemas con sus referentes del Evangelio, propongo reconocer cinco “rostros” significativos de Jesús en la poesía del autor: 1. el Cristo de la imagen maternal; 2. el Cristo del amor sensorial; 3. el Cristo silencioso, víctima expiatoria; 4. el Cristo acertijo, incomprendido por sus discípulos; y 5. el Cristo de la Encarnación mística. Este último es el que predomina en el poemario.
La presencia del mito bíblico de Adán y Eva en la literatura femenina hispanoamericana de los siglos XX y XXI
Authors: Carbajosa Pérez Mónica
Published: July 2024

Dentro del estudio de la pervivencia de la Biblia en la literatura hispanoamericana, este artículo analiza la presencia del mito de Adán y Eva (Gn 2,4b—3,24) en un corpus de obras literarias de escritoras hispanoamericanas publicadas a lo largo de los siglos XX y XXI: Magdalena Mondragón, Armonía Somers, Rosario Castellanos, Rosario Ferré y Gioconda Belli. El relato bíblico es revisitado, subvertido y reinterpretado desde una perspectiva crítica que busca la revisión de los arquetipos femeninos de la cultura patriarcal que han modelado la identidad de género. La figura de Eva es revalorizada y resignificada como modelo de libertad y autonomía.
Los discípulos de Emaús o la metáfora del huésped: para una poética de la pobreza en Fina García Marruz
Authors: Díaz Pérez Ana María
Published: July 2024

La perspectiva teológica de la escritura fue un aspecto compartido por las diversas personalidades que integraron el grupo Orígenes, si bien se dio predominantemente en las plumas de Fina García Marruz y Gastón Baquero. Las siguientes líneas se centran en el papel estructural del Nuevo Testamento en la primera autora, con especial énfasis en los poemarios Las miradas perdidas (1951) y Visitaciones (1970). A través de los modelos bíblicos, la escritura es entendida por García Marruz como un baile entre iluminación y pérdida, y que solo puede repetirse si mantenemos la puerta abierta al huésped.

The origin problem of the ancient ‘Nine-Squares Field System’ and the Gojoseon Dynasty: Centering on Mengzi's comparisons to the Xia, Yin, and Zhou eras
Authors: Lee Changoo ,   The Academy of Real Korean History
Published: July 2024

This study aims to investigate the ‘nine-square field system’ (NSFS, Jeongjeonje井田制) of the Xia(夏), Yin(殷), and Zhou(周) Dynasties mentioned by Meng zi(孟子) over 2300 years ago and the NSFS mentioned in The I Ching or Book of Changes(周易), respectively, and to consider its origin from the perspective of Gojoseon Dynasty(Dangun-Joseon), away from these three countries-centered studies in China.
Meng zi initially called it ‘Well Field’ (井地, Jing di) instead of NSFS, but later Zhū Xī(朱熹) called it NSFS and this name became common.
Meng zi argued that for a monarch to practice virtuous politics, the boundaries of the land must be rightly governed, and said that the NSFS was fundamental to royal politics of virtue. The Book of Changes draws attention to the well at the heart of NSFS. The well is neither scarce nor overflowing, neither harmful nor beneficial to anyone, so we should imitate it and practice an equitable royal politics of virtue(王道政治).
Regarding the origin of this NSFS, Zhū Xī said it originated in the Dynasty of Yin, while Wang Fuzhi(王夫之) said it was first created by Huangdi(黃帝).
While Park Ji-won views Zhougong as the creator of NSFS, there are also arguments to view his ancestor Gong Liu (公劉) as the originator of NSFS in the Dynasty of Zhou. On the other hand, Lee yi, Han Baek-gyeom, Jeong Yak yong, and others have argued that NSFS in Korea was introduced by jizi(箕子).
By cross-examining Shin Chae-ho's “Joseon-sanggosa(朝鮮上古史)” Lee Seung-hue's “Ghewang-ungi(帝王韻記)” and Lee Am's “Dangun-segi(檀君 世紀)” with “NSFS-brick(정전벽돌)” excavated from the Lower Xiajiadian culture(夏家店下層文化), I found that NSFS originated in Gojoseon and influenced the Xia, Yin, and Zhou Dynasties in China.
It is hoped that this NSFS study will help understand Gojoseon and Northeast Asian civilizations in the future.

A metodologia utilizada neste artigo segue a ordem qualitativa com pesquisa aplicada, apresentando sugestões que podem ser utilizadas no cotidiano. Logo, o que se propõe enfatiza a importância de se permitir que o aluno cadeirante participe das atividades regulares planejadas e conclui-se, portanto, a necessidade de se planejar aulas adaptadas, respeitando a singularidade do aluno com deficiência, para que todos – com deficiência ou não – participem de forma equitativa.
Exercise speed and workload effects on muscle hypoxia in vastus lateralis muscle during squatting exercises
Authors: Imano Tetsuo , Nakajima Masaaki
Published: July 2024

Background: The study aimed to examine the effects of varying exercise speed and joint motion range (opting for either full knee extension or sustained knee flexion) on the intramuscular hypoxic environment, a key factor in muscle hypertrophy, during squat exercises. Methods: The participants were 17 healthy male and female students from Kibi International University, without back or knee pain at the time of evaluation. Two squat variations were performed: squats with full knee extension (Locked group; L group) and squats without full knee extension (non-locked group; NL group). The exercises were conducted in the following sequence with intervals: 12 s of non-locking (NL12), 12 s of locking (L12), 8 s of non-locking (NL8), 8 s of locking (L8), 4 s of non-locking (NL4), and 4 s of locking (L4). Tissue Oxygen Saturation (StO2) in the right vastus lateralis muscle, under blood flow restriction during squat exercises, was measured using near-infrared spectroscopy. Results: The minimum StO2 for NL12 was significantly lower than the resting StO2 values. Similarly, the minimum StO2 values for L12 and L8 were also significantly lower than the resting StO2 values. The minimum StO2 value for 8 s was significantly lower than at rest only in group L. Conclusion: When performing squat exercises, it is beneficial to reduce the exercise speed and increase the knee joint’s range of motion. This adjustment enhances the work of the quadriceps muscles, thereby creating an intramuscular hypoxic environment and promoting muscle hypertrophy.

Os Recursos Hídricos são fundamentais para manutenção da vida, para a alimentação, para manter o meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado e a própria geração de energia. Este estudo objetiva promover a avaliação sazonal da qualidade da água na sub-região hidrográfica do Guamá, no estado do Pará, em locais estabelecidos nas drenagens da extensão do Rio Guamá dentro dos municípios de Belém, Benevides, Santa Izabel, Capitão Poço, Bujarú e Ourém. A metodologia adotou uma análise integrada dos índices ambientais de Qualidade de Água e Estado Trófico, com procedimentos de amostragem que seguem os critérios estabelecidos na 23ª edição do Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. Além disso, foi realizada análise estatística paramétrica, por meio teste t, para avaliar as médias de IQA e IET entre os períodos chuvosos e menos chuvosos e encontrar possíveis diferenças significativas. Em síntese, os resultados dos índices IQA apontam que os pontos analisados possuem águas com qualidade classificada como BOA, tais resultados podem ser atribuídos à presença de vegetação e ao efeito de diluição motivado pelo acréscimo de tributários ao longo do trecho do rio. Os resultados de IET evidenciam um risco mediano de eutrofização, uma vez que o IET em alguns pontos foi classificado como mesotrófico. A qualidade da água em pontos da sub-região hidrográfica do Guamá no estado do Pará, a partir da utilização dos índices ambientais IQA e IET, precisa de um monitoramento contínuo para que continue atendendo os padrões normativos para os seus usos e seu índice de eutrofização.
A dignidade da pessoa humana, o direito civil e a onda da constitucionalização: em busca dos limites para frear a indignidade dos excessos
Authors: Castro Lucianna do Couto e Souza
Published: July 2024

O presente ensaio visa abordar a crescente tendência de constitucionalização do Direito Civil, destacando o uso reiterado de justificação de decisões jurídicas com base em elementos e princípios extraídos do texto constitucional. Frequentemente, tal fundamentação ancora-se em princípios abertos e por vezes vagos, sem seguir o percurso adequado fornecido pela dogmática e pelos elementos próprios do Direito privado. Partindo de um arcabouço teórico, explora-se como conceitos como dignidade da pessoa humana têm sido invocados como solução universal, e como a aplicação direta tem desafiado os princípios de segurança jurídica e objetividade, pilares essenciais da ordem democrática. A análise revela como essa abordagem pode comprometer a estabilidade jurídica ao privilegiar interpretações subjetivas sobre normas estabelecidas. Portanto, discute-se a necessidade de um equilíbrio entre os ideais constitucionais e a coerência interna do Direito Civil, promovendo um debate crítico sobre os limites e as consequências dessa constitucionalização para o sistema jurídico como um todo.
Cloud-based application for spatial and statistical analysis about environmental fragility and land cover
Authors: Vianna Luiz Fernando de Novaes , Zambonim Fabio Martinho
Published: July 2024

The MapBiomas project developed a free and open-source platform to monitor Brazilian land use land cover (LULC) changes since 1985. To increase its analytic power, we developed the Environmental Fragility Mapping System (EFMS), using Google Earth Engine (GEE). Environmental fragility (EF) analysis has its origins in ecodynamics, and it is composed of potential environmental fragility (PEF) and emergent environmental fragility (EEF). The advantage of EF analysis over LULC analysis is its flexibility in evaluating multiple scenarios for different aspects of environmental challenges. EFMS calculates three environmental fragility indexes: potential fragility index (PFI), land cover fragility index (LCFI), and emergent fragility index (EFI). Combined with LULC change analysis from the MapBiomas, EFMS can provide spatial analysis and generate maps and data for environmental management. In this article we describe the EFMS method, provide the code and present a case study to generate fragility scenarios for selecting priority areas for environmental recovery.

FACIAL SHAPE IN THE FRANKFURT HORIZONTAL AND NATURAL
HEAD POSITION: A METHODOLOGICAL STUDY
Authors: Mezentseva A.A. , Rostovtseva V.V. , Butovskaya M.L.
Published: July 2024

Introduction. In this article, we have compared frontal facial shapes (based on photo portraits) which were captured in two head positions: Natural position (NP) and Frankfurt horizontal (FH).

Materials and methods. In both cases facial shape was analyzed on sex differences and association with direct measurements of body parameters: height, BMI, fat, muscle and bone mass, digit ratio (R2D:4D). The analysis was performed using geometric morphometry methods. The study participants were representatives of the non-European population, Buryats, 86 men and 69 women aged 20 years (20± 2 g).

Results. The results showed that (a) head position had a significant impact on the 2D projection of the frontal facial shape, particularly in men; (b) compared to the Natural position, the Frankfurt horizontal position exhibited more pronounced sex differences in facial shape; (c) we observed associations between facial shape and height, BMI, fat, and muscle mass in both men and women in both positions, but these associations were more pronounced in the Frankfurt horizontal. We did not find an association between male facial shape and R2D:4D in the NP position, but we observed it in FH. In women, we did not observe a similar relationship in both positions.

Discussion. Our research revealed an important methodological problem: the head position can significantly affect qualitative conclusions about frontal facial shape, especially in non-European populations. In our study, we found a statistical relationship with most body parameters in both cases, FH and NP. However, the relationship was stronger in the FH position. When working with independent parameters that have a generally not very pronounced effect on the facial shape, head position differences can lead to a decrease or even a lack of an association when using a natural position (as in the case of R2D:4D).

Conclusion. The obtained results are important for the development of an optimal photography methodology, taking into account the currently accumulated controversial results. Current findings allow us to resolve a number of contradictions related to the zero results observed in modern literature data.
AGE ESTIMATION USING DIAPHYSEAL LONG BONE LENGTHS IN
A NON-ADULT SKELETAL SAMPLE FROM GONUR DEPE,
TURKMENISTAN
Authors: Kufterin V.V.
Published: July 2024

Introduction. The aim of this study is to provide group-specific regression equations for age estimation of immature human skeletal remains younger than 12 years of age from the diaphyseal length of the six long bones. Further, to compare inverse and classical calibration models for age estimation and the suitability of previously published regression methods for archaeological and present-day populations in relation to the analyzed sample.

Materials and methods. The studied sample consists of 128 non-adult individuals from Gonur Depe – the major BMAC site in Turkmenistan (2300–1500 BCE). Regression formulae were obtained for each of the six long bones, separately for entire sample (0–12 years of age) and for two subsamples below and above 2 years of age. For each equation the coefficient of determination (R2) and F-statistics were calculated. Residuals were tested for normality of distribution, autocorrelation, homoscedasticity, and the equality of mean to zero (one-sample t-test). Comparison between inverse and classical calibration was provided using paired samples t-test. To assess the applicability of other regression formulae to the studied sample both the mean residuals (MR) and mean of the absolute value of the residuals (MAR) were calculated, as an estimate of bias and accuracy respectively.

Results. All regression models showed a strong statistical significance and high R2 value. The slope coefficients of the regression lines of diaphyseal length upon age are greater for the upper limb bones both in the entire sample and two subsamples separately. The lower limb bones are characterized by lower growth rates. In contrast to the inverse calibration, for the classical model the mean standard errors (MSE) were smaller for the upper limb bones rather than for the lower limb bones. For the lower limb bones the standard error of the estimate (SE) was generally smaller in inverse formulae. Comparison of both models for the femur however shows their equal performance. For the exception of proposed and classical calibration formulae all inverse models for femur diaphyseal length show consistent differences from zero in relation to the studied sample.

Discussion. The inverse and classical calibration models as a technique for age estimation using diaphyseal long bone lengths are both equally applicable in the studied sample. It is recommended to use the equations for the lower limb bones in the inverse model and for the upper limb bones in the classical model. The Gonur Depe population is characterized by relatively higher growth rates of the upper limb bones and distal limb segments relative to the proximal ones. Most of the previously published inverse calibration models are not recommended for uncritically use due to the high risk of obtaining biased estimates on samples that are different chronologically and/or territorially.

Big hat and no cattle? The implications of MOOCs for the adult learning landscape
Authors: St Clair Ralf , Winer Laura , Finkelstein Adam , Fuentes-Steeves Alex , Wald Sylvie
Published: July 2024

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a relatively new form of education, offered by some of the best known universities and attracting many hundreds of thousands of students. The authors describe MOOCs and the claims made for them, and analyse two major impacts of these programs based on the first MOOC offered by McGill University. The first area of discussion is the potential for expanded access to education offered by MOOCs, which this analysis finds to be more limited than often claimed. The second is the potential for radical educational practice in MOOCs, which is considered through the lens of andragogy. The authors find that there are indications of interesting possibilities in this area, though they are not being exploited as fully—or as deliberately—as they could be.

Learning Through Memoirs: Self, Society, and History
Authors: Taber Nancy , Mojab Shahrzad , VanderVliet Cathy , Haghgou Shirin , Paterson Kate
Published: July 2024

This article is based on our Memoir Pedagogy Reading Circles research. Using an interpretative sociological case study methodology, we facilitated two groups that read and discussed women’s memoirs as living texts of society, culture, and history; we read the self and the social through the personal narratives of violence, survival, and resistance. e themes that emerged from this collective e ort were a pedagogy for learning and unlearning, a pedagogy for engaging with others, a pedagogy for social justice, and a pedagogy for reclaiming a history. We conclude that, while the contexts, settings, and geographic regions changed in the memoirs, the presence of structural violence was constant. As a pedagogy, the memoir reading circles provided a consistent grounding that helped the participants collectively recognize and negotiate the meaning of the universality and uniqueness of experiences of patriarchy, racism, colonialism, culture, and capitalism as well as the implications of silence, hope, resistance, survival, community, and arts for social transformation.

Strong Snow White Requires Stronger Marriageable Huntsman
Authors: Taber Nancy , Woloshyn Vera , Lane Laura
Published: July 2024

In this article, we discuss a media discussion group for female students with disabilities, which we created and facilitated using fairy tales to discuss and critique gender norms. Disability was not the primary focus for our media sessions; however, participants occasionally extended dialogue to include intersections between disability and gender. In this article, we discuss literature related to gender, disability, popular culture, and fairy tales. We detail our case study methodology and explain our findings regarding participants’ views of gender representations in fairy tales, the character of Snow White as portrayed in the film Snow White and the Huntsman, and the concept of happily‑ever‑after endings. Finally, we discuss benefits experienced by the participants in the context of forming a community of learners and building relationships with each other.
The Part-Time Student Experience: Its Influence on Student Engagement, Perceptions, and Retention
Authors: Lee Nicole Elizabeth
Published: July 2024

Part-time learners have had a history of campus isolation, fewer opportunities to engage on campus, and much higher attrition rates than their full-time peers (Jacoby, 2015; Rajasekhara & Hirsch, 2000). As a result, this study sought to uncover effective ways of enhancing the academic and social experiences of part-time learners and, in turn, increase retention rates. The attitudes, experiences, perceived needs, and challenges of 41 part-time students at a large Canadian community college during the fall 2015 semester were captured through an anonymous survey. From the data gathered, effective ways to enhance the college experiences of part-time students were identified and a relationship between school affinity and a part-time learner’s motivation to remain in school and persist to graduation were established. Recommendations resulting from this study centre on flexibility, availability, and student choice for post-secondary programs, courses, services, and social events aimed at part-time learners.
Stitching Together an Arts-based Inquiry with Indigenous Communities in Canada and Chile
Authors: Hanson Cindy
Published: July 2024

Community based research and learning can never be prescribed. The SSHRC funded study entitled, Intergenerational Learning in Indigenous Textile Communities of Practice, illustrated this point in many ways. Although it was conceived as community-based research it was not initially regarded as arts-based, this is what it became. Both the data gathering and research mobilization methods were arts-based. The study provided meaningful lessons in informal Indigenous, and intergenerational, learning within textile communities of practice of Indigenous beaders and weavers from Canada and Chile.
Museum as a (De-)Colonizing Agency and Participatory Learning Space: South Korean Experience
Authors: Kang Dae Joong , Lee Hong , Kim Seungeun
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the process of building a new history museum in South Korea that had suffered from Japanese colonial occupation from 1910 to 1945. The authors outline how the Center for Historical Truth and Justice (CHTJ), a vanguard civil organization dedicated to historical research on the Japanese colonial period and social action against colonialism, arrived at the 2018 opening of the Museum of Japanese Colonial History (MJCH) in Seoul. Generating and using a series of dialogues, suggested in institutional ethnography, the authors couple the topic of decolonization with the MJCH building process to interrogate the meaning of decolonization in contemporary South Korean society as well as learning for the identity formation of the new museum at the CHTJ. The paper discusses the museum educators’ continuing performative role for public pedagogy to create the participatory museum.
Transformation Through Language Learning
Authors: Stephens Meredith
Published: July 2024

Bilingualism was not the norm in our family tradition, except for distant ancestors who  spoke Gaelic. The only language study by immediate family members was of Latin by    my parents. In the first year that Japanese was offered at my high school in the 1970’s, I was prompted by the teachers to try this new offering. I acquiesced without giving it  much thought, but this proved to be a life changing decision. I ambled through high school and university studying Japanese, and then found myself living in Japan, the  language having chosen me rather than the other way around. I found myself having thoughts and conversations that I would never have in English, and discovered both a new world and a new self.
Reflecting Through Letter Writing and Visual Representations
Authors: Spadoni Michelle , Manankil-Rankin Louela
Published: July 2024

Teaching is a journey that draws upon an educator’s creativity to meet the emerging challenges of the undulating waves of experiences. Like sailors, navigating the sea, we as nursing educators engage in a journey of introspection to create a shared reflective space that fosters dialogue. Using letter writing as a reflective device, we wrote letters to each      other and shared our thoughts and ideas on the nature of compassion, relational practice, and transitioning from nursing student to nurse in our teaching practice. We used the metaphor of sailing to make sense of our experience. Our old photos became a way to re-present our reflective insights. For us, compassion emerges from helping students experience their relational connection to their patients. As students become competent in their way to nurse, the intentionality of their care becomes focused, triggering their compassionate practice and opening the path to their transition into being a nurse.
Cinders
Authors: Heavey Kristin , Jemmott Kessey
Published: July 2024

This auto-ethnographic poetic inquiry is fashioned as a dialogue between Kristin Heavey and Kessey Jemmott, on topics of race and embodiment. Heavey is a white mother of a bi-racial daughter in the United States of America; Jemmott is a Black Trinbagonian, living in Canada. These vignettes emerged from a collaborative performance piece, drawing from their backgrounds in theatre and dance. As a white mother and a black daughter, we interrogated each other’s embodied experiences. We listened to the other’s fears, memories, and family histories. We engaged in discourse surrounding the politics of blackness and the way white racial grievance seemed to overwhelm gender solidarity in the 2016 US election. This inquiry attempts to bring personal stories together, to find intersections where an intimate, felt experience of race can find significance and resonance—to find oneself in another’s story and to hear its call for action and transformation.
