Webinar: Exploring Neurodivergence, Disability, and Gender-Based Violence: Toward More Affirming and Accessible Practices
This LN/KH Webinar explores the intersections of neurodivergence, disability, and gender-based violence through critical disability studies, story-making, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches. Presented by Dr. Patty Douglas, Associate Professor of Disability Studies at Queen’s University and a former special education teacher, this session draws on creative and participatory approaches that centre historically excluded perspectives, inviting participants to consider how dominant narratives about disability, care, communication, and harm shape responses to violence within education, health, and community systems.
Webinar: Humans, Animals, and Intimate Partner Violence: Shared Victimizations, and Shared Solutions
Dr. Stevenson’s talk will discuss her research on intimate partner violence and the inclusion of companion animals in the violent dynamic. In particular, this presentation will present recent research on the prevalence of the inclusion of animals in situations of intimate partner violence, the impact on victim/survivors, the role that companion animals play in healing from violence, and solutions to support both human and animal victim/survivors of intimate partner violence.
Have you listened to the RESOLVing Violence Podcast yet?
The province of Saskatchewan is home to a vibrant research community and hundreds of organizations and service providers working to prevent, respond to, and assist with recovery from violence and abuse.
Through this podcast, we hope to facilitate that transfer of knowledge from the research community to these applied stakeholders and people with lived experience, to make staying up to date on current research that much more accessible and efficient.
