Out Of Your Comfort Zone: Allyship As A Self-Inventory And Constant Improvement Process, Lyndsay Colvin, Nikki L. Rogers

Breaking Silences, Demanding Crip Justice: Sex, Sexuality, and Disability

Allyship is a sincere commitment by a privileged person to offer ongoing support to individuals, groups, or organizations that are excluded from privilege. Allies take direction from the excluded group about the form(s) that support should take. Allies understand that exclusion and oppression is harmful to all of society.

Allyship requires unlearning the beliefs, cognitive and/or affective responses and behaviors embedded in the privileged status.

A Peer Advocate's Experience Of Deaf Women's Disclosure Of Sexual Assault, Noëlle Opsahl

Breaking Silences, Demanding Crip Justice: Sex, Sexuality, and Disability

Deaf women experience sexual assault at alarmingly higher rates when compared to their hearing counterparts, but little is known about their disclosure trends (Anderson & Leigh, 2011; Elliott & Pick, 2015). It has been reported that nearly one in five women has experienced rape in her lifetime (NISVS, 2011). This number only reflects the number of women who have disclosed, or told another person or agency about their experience. Rape survivors are a hidden population where only the survivor and the perpetrator know this crime has occurred (Campbell, Sefl, Wasco, & Ahrens, 2004). Though there is a scarcity of information …

Spatial Obstacles To Shared “Crip” & Lgbtq Cultures, Nick Garcia

Breaking Silences, Demanding Crip Justice: Sex, Sexuality, and Disability

Online communities are receiving praise for providing new frontiers to marginalized populations with disabilities and LGBTQ identities. They provide unique outlets to generate media from within the community, which in turn influences broader national discussions among the public, mainstream media, and officials. Moreover, participation in online "Crip" and LGBTQ cultures present safe forums for populations to overcome geographic boundaries and control the disclosure of identities. This aspatial conception of emerging online communities is thus said to unite marginalized identities and provide meaningful representation of community members.

But while the emergence of online communities provides incredible opportunity for community formation, influence …

A New Foundation For Sexual Social Justice: The World Health Organization’S Report On Sexual Health, Human Rights, And The Law, Nikki L. Rogers, Cristina Redko

Breaking Silences, Demanding Crip Justice: Sex, Sexuality, and Disability

Social justice benefits from a unified foundation of shared basic beliefs. There are still too few global, evidence-based documents that provide standardized language and vision through which social justice standards, policy and legal actions can be created, compared and amended.

This is a broad, evidence-based public health report on best practices to foster “achievement of the highest attainable standard of sexual health”. It frames this goal as intimately related to the protection of human rights, the right to non-discrimination and to health information and services.

While other reports link laws impacting human rights and health, this specific focus on laws …

Just What A Young Man Ought To Be: Politeness And Easy Manners As The Infallible Passport In Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Ethan Baumgartner

Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial

Among the misinterpreted ideas about the Regency era is the concept that women were more confined to etiquette than men. However, upon closer inspection, it's clear that this quality of being 'amiable' (likable, friendly, sensitive, even lovable) in the Regency culture was crucial to almost every person of any status or social position regardless of gender.

Toeing The Line: The Morality Of Dancing Pride And Prejudice And Regency Culture, Laura Gray

Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial

Many of the social interactions in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are reliant upon decidedly ambiguous rules. The characters in the novel are constantly toeing a line between trying to express their feelings in a forthright manner and restricting themselves in order to maintain propriety. No one knows how to maintain a balance between these two actions, as a result, true feelings are hardly ever properly expressed, and their ability to form connections suffers. All of the characters endure this unfortunate phenomenon.

Rules Of Engagement: Mr. Darcy's Courtship In Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice, Victoria Lane

Pride and Prejudice: The Bicentennial

Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) is most commonly regarded as a story of love. The narrative does indeed follow a marriage plot line, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet do fall in love and get married, but where within the narrative do we see any true sentiment revealed? The linear plot stretches from beginning to end; from their first meeting to their inevitable marriage. The space between must then be filled with the act of courting; each party's attempt at establishing a connection. However, the majority of the development of the relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy is devoid of …
