Abstract:

English This article explores some of the most salient of the oppressions that are directly related to international and Canadian immigration policy discourses and practices. A conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between social justice and oppression in social work practice is introduced. This will determine the issues that need to be addressed by social work practitioners. French Cet article examine quelques-uns des facteurs d'oppression les plus évidents qui se dégagent du discours et des pratiques de l'immigration canadienne et internationale.

Abstract:

How can creating a simple stick figure comic help us tell — and deeply listen to — true stories of social injustice and practice anti-oppression strategies? More specifically, how can creating a series of stick-figure comics help learners enhance their understanding of the Indigenous Peoples’ testimonies in the Truth and Reconciliation Report (TRC, 2015)? In my experience, stick-figure visual narratives can help participants tell stories of social injustices and practice ways that might restore right relations. In this paper, I provide a background story and a literature review in describing the rationale and method of using this approach to teach social justice concepts and rehearse pro-social interventions. I conclude with a detailed lesson plan for using the social-justice comics method for visually presenting the TRC 2015 report. Comment l’acte de dessiner un bonhomme allumette peut-il nous aider à raconter – et à écouter très attentivement – des histoires vécues d’injustices sociales et à adopter des stratégies contre l’oppression? Plus particulièrement, comment des apprenants, en créant une série de bonhommes allumettes, peuvent-ils mieux comprendre les témoignages des Autochtones inclus dans le rapport de la Commission de vérité et de réconciliation (2015)? D’après mon expérience, les récits visuels en bonhommes allumettes aident les participants à raconter leurs histoires d’injustices sociales et à mettre en pratique des moyens pour éventuellement rétablir des relations justes. Dans le présent article, je décris le contexte et les études qui sous-tendent le pourquoi et la méthode des bonhommes allumettes pour enseigner les concepts de justice sociale et exercer la pratique d’intervention sociale. En conclusion, je présente un plan de leçon indiquant comment utiliser la méthode des dessins à portée sociale pour représenter visuellement le rapport de la Commission de vérité et de réconciliation de 2015.

Abstract:

Le propos de cet article est d'ébaucher une problématique de l'intolérance et de l'oppression par la voie de deux objectifs : soulever la question des causes de ces phénomènes et essayer de déterminer s'il existe une oppression fondamentale. Un tour d'horizon des causes nous apprend très vite que les « explications » fournies décrivent beaucoup plus un enchaînement qu'elles ne remontent aux origines. Déterminer la part de la « nature humaine » dans les rapports de domination, par exemple, est un défi insoluble. Théoriciens et gens d'action gagnent donc à se pencher sur le comment plutôt que sur le pourquoi de l'intolérance. En ce sens, on peut se demander s'il est une oppression plus fondamentale que les autres. Et en effet, parce qu'on ne peut en changer, celle qui porte sur l'identité est plus essentielle que celle qui s'articule autour des manières de penser ou d'agir. Or, l'analyse comparée permet de conclure que, parce qu'ils décuplent tous les autres, les rapports de domination fondés sur le sexe sont, non pas plus fondamentaux, mais plus universels que ceux qui reposent sur l'âge, la classe sociale, la condition physique ou mentale, l'ethnie / « race » ou l'orientation sexuelle.

Abstract:

L’oppression épistémique désigne une exclusion épistémique persistante qui empêche ou limite la contribution d’une personne à la production des savoirs. On hésite à parler d’« oppression épistémique », et cela tient peut-être à la prémisse voulant que les formes épistémiques de l’oppression se ramènent en général à ses formes politiques et sociales. L’auteure convient que de nombreuses formes d’exclusion qui compromettent la capacité d’une personne à contribuer à la production des savoirs peuvent être ramenées à des formes d’oppression politique et sociale, mais il existe néanmoins des formes distinctes et irréductibles d’oppression épistémique. Elle soutient ainsi que la différence fondamentale entre les formes réductibles et irréductibles d’oppression épistémique réside dans le type de résistance à laquelle on fait face dans chaque cas, c’est-à-dire le pouvoir épistémique ou les caractéristiques des systèmes épistémologiques. La distinction entre les formes réductibles et irréductibles d’oppression épistémique permet de mieux comprendre les enjeux que soulève l’emploi de cette expression et la pertinence d’y recourir.

Abstract:

À la lumière de la sémiotique, nous nous proposons d’étudier le personnage du fou dans le roman de Frieda Ekotto intitulé Chuchote pas trop. Il s’agit de montrer comment se construit le personnage dans un univers où règne la violence sociale. Ce roman met en exergue le quotidien de la femme peule dans un espace caractérisé par l’oppression et les injustices de toutes sortes. Cet assujettissement de la femme ne lui laisse guère de choix que la révolte et la lutte pour sa liberté, lesquelles ne peuvent être faites sans la subversion des normes sociales traditionnelles, d’où l’appellation de fou.AbstractIn the light of semiotic, we decide to study the character of the lunatic in Frieda Ekotto's novel entitled Chuchote pas trop. It consists to show how a character is conceived in an universe where social violence reigns. This novel highlights the daily life of fulani women in a space characterized by oppression and injustices of all kinds. This subjugation of women leaves her with little choice but to revolt and fight for her freedom, which cannot be done without subverting traditional social norms, hence the name lunatic.

Abstract:

Résumé Dans cet article, l’auteure examine la problématique de l’identité et de la différence dans la théorie féministe et le mouvement des femmes du Québec. Les antécédents historiques et la situation actuelle des femmes noires au Québec illustrent les lacunes des principaux modèles de théorisation féministe. Ces modèles ont toujours à rendre compte de la mesure dans laquelle le racisme, les divisions découlant de caractéristiques ethniques, linguistiques et nationales, de pair avec l’appartenance à une classe sociale, façonnent différemment les situations d’oppression fondée sur le sexe que subissent les femmes ainsi que leur résistance à cette oppression. Une des tâches fondamentales que le mouvement des femmes du Québec doit encore accomplir consiste à aborder la diversité du vécu des femmes et les divisions croissantes entre elles.

Abstract:

This study discusses Arab diasporic women’s resistance against cultural and social oppression on several aspects of women’s lives, such as education and the daily life in Laila Halaby’s West of the Jordan (2003). It also discusses the role of the Arab diasporic women in the West in confirming or resisting such oppressions. The study also illustrates that although diasporic experiences in the West helped Arab women uproot/resist social and cultural oppressions, in some other cases, diasporic experiences helped reinforce the consistency of such oppressive practices. Laila Halaby in West of the Jordan provides several examples of the heterogeneity of the Arab diasporic women's identity/ psychology. For instance, Soraya, one of the four main characters, is introduced as an example of those women who gain freedom in the diaspora, while Khadija, in contrast, experiences more pressure due to her being in the diaspora.

Abstract:

Our longitudinal, qualitative study with 29 pregnant adolescents who smoke used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to understand experiences and the function of tobacco through pregnancy to 6 months postpartum. The young women described complex lives of overlapping oppressions interspersed with expressions of resistance; these were lived experiences on the threshold of both adulthood and an anticipated better life. Our research implicated tobacco use as a value laden action at the border of oppression and resistance. Thinking about tobacco as a component of and a flag for oppression, we combined a gender based focus with the social ecological model to create a rich understanding of the opportunities for designing equitable interventions that address a range of interconnected influences on an adolescent mother’s health. Opportunities for interventions open briefly in the space between the early idealism displayed by adolescent mothers and the impinging potential reality of oppressive life trajectories.

Abstract:

Critical feminist approaches to eating disorders and “obesity” have recently come under criticism for relying too heavily on textual- and image-based analyses of health, identity and body weight, shape, and size. In this article, we examine qualitative interviews with self-identified anorexic and “obese” women using a new material feminist lens—particularly the work of Karen Barad—to see what this perspective contributes to conceptualizations of weight-based oppressions. In addition to outlining how the material world actively participates in ongoing processes of oppression, we also highlight how the body presses back, offering up potentially less oppressive processes of materialization. The article concludes on a cautiously optimistic note, pointing to how a new materialist framework may draw attention to micropolitical processes of becoming otherwise.

Abstract:

The article deals with the use of an anti-oppressive approach in Czech social work focused on homeless people. The theoretical part, among others, looks into the intersectionality of oppression with homeless people. This contribution also presents partial results from two research studies focused on the reflection of oppression by homeless people. The results show that oppression is perceived as pervasive and interconnected by homeless people. Intrinsically, it forms a barrier in the process of their reintegration into permanent housing forms and a barrier to their access to health services. The necessity of applying the anti-oppressive approach in Czech social work can be clearly deduced from the obtained outcomes. Specifically, its individual instruments such as the production of counter-narratives to oppressive metanarratives, advocacy, critical reflection, and agency.

Abstract:

Abstract In recent years, philosophers have begun to uncover the role played by verbal conduct in generating oppressive social structures. I examine the oppressive illocutionary uses, and perlocutionary effects, of expressives: speech acts that are not truth-apt, merely expressing attitudes, such as desires, preferences, and emotions. Focusing on expressions of disgust in conversation, I argue for two claims: (1) that expressions of disgust can activate in the local, conversational context the oppressive power of the underlying structures of oppression; (2) that conversational expressions of disgust can, via the pragmatic process of presupposition accommodation, contribute to morally problematic cases of disgust contagion.

Abstract:

Social work is a profession based on social justice and anti-oppressive action. Social workers in direct practice in most states must possess a master’s level graduate degree and have completed internship/practicum placements hours. This higher education and professional development prerequisites within graduate curriculums must begin to include increased acceptance and understanding of diversity and social justice through expanded lenses and move beyond current frameworks of diversity. For example, one such area of diversity that has become an increasing proportion of higher education students are students who identify as obese or “fat,” and are experiencing oppression and stigma in their everyday life. The authors used a grounded approach to analyze 100 accredited graduate social work programs’ curriculum throughout the United States, with the goal of understanding how the topic of obesity and weight-based oppression were integrated into learning curriculums of diversity, social justice, and cultural humility. The authors will discuss “fat culture” and stigma associated with an obese identity, as well as systems that are inherently oppressive to people who are of larger size. The findings revealed evidence of professional disregard for this population in practice, as well as overarching disregard for body size as a dimension of diversity and inclusion on an institutional level. The authors will reflect on these findings and discuss implications for practice, knowledge, and professional and educational pedagogy.

Abstract:

This paper aims to unfold patriarchal oppression and capitalist oppression, evaluating the response of various male and female characters of novel “The Murder of Aziz Khan” by Zulfikar Ghose against (capitalist) oppression and dominance differently. Nexus between capitalism & patriarchy has created wide divide among human beings. So, there has always been tussle between these classes: oppressor (employer) and the oppressed (labourers). There was no rapprochement amid the ruler and the ruled. “The Murder of Aziz Khan” is essentially divided into two classes of people: the rulers who do all for their benefit and ruled that are oppressed and don’t have any choice to live their lives as per to their wishes. So very often oppressed class of people showed its resistance against oppression and dominance verbally and physically. “The Murder of Aziz Khan” was studied by using critical discourse analysis, under umbrella of qualitative research approach. Theories provided framework of this article to analyze the responses of male and female characters against oppression & dominance. The study concluded that there was high resistance level of male & female characters against the unnecessary domination and oppression.

Abstract:

This study examined social class oppression in Ally Condie’s Crossed novel as the object of the research. This research applied Tyson’s social class and Young’s types of oppression theory. This research used qualitative research as a method and used a Marxist approach to conduct research. This research showed five indicators of social class: Aristocracy is portrayed as an Institution that has unlimited jobs and financial security. The upper class is the people in Tana provinces who are economically privileged which is they had small facilities for production. The middle class referred to the Officer, they worked with Institutions to oppress the lower class. The types of lower class refer to Ky, Vick, and Eli they were in dirty and disheveled clothes. Underclass refers to the Anomalies, they are alienated from society. This research also showed the third type of oppression; Exploitation was the Officers, and who get oppressed in this novel is the Aberration. In Marginalization, types of society that marginalize the Anomalies. In Powerlessness the oppressor is the Institution, and those who get oppressed are the Aberration, Anomaly, and the decoy. The existence of oppression was caused by social class and portrayed implicitly in society.

Abstract:

This study compares competing perspectives of contextual literacy— literacy as practices, functional context education, and critical literacy. The first is linked to an ethnographic sensibility based upon how literacy is appropriated in the naturalistic settings of people's lives. The second is based on the mastery of concrete tasks that are embedded within environments that individuals seek to engage. The third stems from an analysis of oppression based upon an emancipatory pedagogy in the quest for societal transformation and a corresponding participatory pedagogy through which to structure critical practice. Each of these perspectives of literacy is philosophically congruent within particular programmatic settings, which are briefly identified in this article. Especially important are the ways in which these diverse frameworks may interact to deepen general community literacy programs that emphasize life improvement by including valuable instrumental and critical perspectives. Résumé Cette étude compare des perceptions qui se concurrencent au sujet de l'alphabétisation en contexte vis-à-vis l'alphabétisation en tant que pratique, l'alphabétisation fonctionnelle et l'alphabétisation critique. La première perception est liée à une émotivité ethnographique qui se demande si l'alphabétisation est essentielle aux gens dans leur environnement immédiat. La seconde perception concerne plutôt la maîtrise de tâches concrètes qui sont exigées dans les différents environnements où les individus souhaitent s'intégrer. La troisième perception a trait à la pression sociale exercée pour une pédagogie émancipatrice et une quête de transformation et pour une pédagogie participative à travers laquelle on développe une pratique exigeante. Chacune de ces perceptions de l'alphabétisation est philosophiquement conforme aux plans spécifiquement programmés et brièvement décrits dans cet article. La façon dont ces diverses perceptions peuvent interagir les unes sur les autres est particulièrement importante pour approfondir les programmes d'alphabétization de la communauté en général, de manière à mettre l'accent sur l'amélioration de la qualité de l'implantation des orientations instrumentales et critiques essentielles.

Abstract:

The concept of privilege is widely used in social justice education to denote unearned advantages accrued by members of dominant groups through the oppression of subordinate groups. In this conceptual essay, Nicolas Tanchuk, Tomas Rocha, and Marc Kruse argue that an atomistic conception of advantage implicit in the discourse of privilege supports persistent inequity between groups contrary to the intentions of social justice educators. To solve this “problem of privilege,” the authors draw on themes in Black feminist and Indigenous thought to advance a reframing of the way educators teach advantage that is based in foundational relational responsibilities. This new frame, social justice education as mutual aid, retains the power to describe oppressive relations between groups while portraying oppression as disadvantageous to all.

Abstract:

Abstract Social work historiography has neglected to engage meaningfully with the most troubling aspects of the profession’s past: the histories of complicity, or at least acquiescence, in acts of state violence and institutionalised oppression. Through the exploration of historical case studies, this article provides a tentative typology of social work’s ‘horrible histories’ focusing on the project of engineering the ideal-type family, in colonial and oppressive socio-political contexts. The authors argue that practices of oppression and complicity can neither be reduced to the ‘few bad apples’ approach nor judged through the individualising prism of moralism, prevalent in Kantian Ethics. Instead, they propose an ethics of transformative reconciliation which is based on the principles of apology, respect for victims and collective action for—professional and social—change.

Abstract:

Many schools of social work around the United States of America wrote anti-racism statements because of the recent murders of Black and Brown people. In this contribution, the authors describe a challenging and tense discussion of racism and anti-racism leading to a group process about oppression and anti-oppression in the social work profession. For some, the urgency to address racism led to tactics and strategies that got in the way of social workers engaging in anti-oppressive practices. While the structure of higher education often reinforces traditional hierarchies of power, the profession of social work calls us to promote our core values of social justice, integrity, and the importance of human relationships as we strive for an anti-oppressive future. Consequently, social work faculty may experience role conflict as we navigate these tensions. We believe it is important to harness and process such discomfort as we critically examine the power dynamics within our own department, and our own profession. This voluntary, ad hoc group, composed of a diverse group of faculty members, provides space for ongoing mutual aid, consciousness raising, appropriate discomfort, and accountability. If anti-racism is the goal, then anti-oppression is how we get there.

Greece is 6 years into a socio-economic crisis, during which oppression has increased as a result of unjust austerity measures. Reflecting on the need for an anti-oppressive practice, a qualitative study of pre-qualifying social work education was carried out in one of the four national Departments of Social Work (subsequently abolished). This article reports the findings of semi-structured interviews with final year students ( n = 14) and academic staff members ( n = 10) on the content and context of social work education in relation to anti-oppressive practice. The study revealed the need for a radical shift in social work education based on the emancipatory values of the profession.

Abstract:

Abstract: A central tenet of the social work profession is its commitment to social justice. This commitment is outlined by the major governing bodies across social work education and practice, intra- and internationally. However, clinical social work has historically been influenced by the evidence-based movement and broadly adopted medicalized models of practice by focusing on treatment model adherence and symptom reduction. Consequently, clinical practitioners have been criticized for not adequately addressing systemic oppression and social injustices affecting vulnerable and historically marginalized populations. The absence of a social justice orientation to clinical practice not only lacks alignment with social work's core values but, in the current socio-political environment, may further perpetuate oppression. Clinical supervision, a staple in developing professional skills for graduate students and novice clinicians, offers an ideal pedagogical space for developing the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills and competencies needed to engage in social justice-focused practice. The aim of this article is to offer a supervisory framework, the Critical Relational Model (CRM), grounded in a metatheory that integrates principles from critical theory, critical pedagogy, and anti-oppressive and decolonizing frameworks, applied through a relational lens. A second aim is to demonstrate how the CRM can be immediately applied to practice with novice clinicians, graduate students, and any other clinical practitioner wishing to enhance their effectiveness and participation in creating a more equitable and just society for all.

Abstract:

This article discusses the social dynamics of basic Christian communities using insights derived from the social sciences. Drawing from critical social theory, the author first analyzes the ideological forces at play among marginalized people. He then discusses how these oppressive forces can be and are overcome by the community of committed Christians. Underlying the discussion is the assumption that contemporary social analysis has much to offer our understanding of ecclesial communities and that the lived faith of poor Christians provides a dynamic model of resistance to oppression which must likewise be taken into account by committed social theorists.

Abstract:

The question of whether sociologists should investigate the subjective experience of non-human others arises regularly in discussions of research on animals. Recent criticism of this research agenda as speculative and therefore unproductive is examined and found wanting. Ample evidence indicates that animals have the capacity to see themselves as objects, which meets sociological criteria for selfhood. Resistance to this possibility highlights the discipline’s entrenched anthropocentrism rather than lack of evidence. Sociological study of the moral status of animals, based on the presence of the self, is warranted because our treatment of animals is connected with numerous “mainstream” sociological issues. As knowledge has brought other forms of oppression to light, it has also helped to challenge and transform oppressive conditions. Consequently, sociologists have an obligation to challenge speciesism as part of a larger system of oppression.

These topics tend to represent the importance of informal learning as a valid form of knowledge acquisition; they explore how people learn from experience, and they seek to establish how learning from experience can be best facilitated and assessed. A postmodern critique of experiential learning has also emerged which challenges the arguments of each of these perspectives. The postmodern critique asks "why has this form of learning become an important discourse at this particular historic moment?" This article is primarily concerned with the underlying philosophies of these topics. It argues that the uses of informal learning will tend to embody the values and ultimate goals of its implicit philosophy. Developing a socially useful theory to eliminate oppression now requires attention to the elusive conditions of post modernity, and informal learning-at work and in education-is a central feature of these conditions. Résumé Les écrits théoriques et pratiques sur l'apprentissage informel traitent principalement de trois sujets. On y décrit l'importance de l'apprentissage informel en tant que mode valide d'acquisition de connaissances; on y explore les méthodes employées par les apprenants en situation informelle; enfin, on cherche des moyens pour soutenir et évaluer les apprentissages informels. Une critique postmoderne de l'apprentissage expérientiel remet en question chacune de ces trois perspectives, en posant d'abord la question: «Pourquoi cette forme d'apprentissage occupe-t-elle une place aussi importante dans le discours actuel, à ce moment de l'histoire?» Le présent article se penche sur les implications philosophiques de cette question. On verra que l'apprentissage informel reflète des valeurs, des buts et une philosophic implicites. Afin d'élaborer une théorie sociale utile à la lutte contre l'oppression, il faut tenir compte des conditions cachées de la post-modernité; parmi ces conditions, l'apprentissage informel en milieu de travail et dans les institution d'enseignement occupe une place de premier plan.

Abstract:

Although research in HCI has been increasingly covering gender and sexuality, the experience of lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender (LGBT) people is still underexplored. We aimed to inquiry whether digital systems user interfaces reproduce or not oppressions based on gender identity or sexual orientation. By conducting a survey, we gathered some oppressive situations that LGBT people have faced online. Our results suggest that not only the user interfaces reproduce such prejudice, but that the LGBT community perceives it in the social network interfaces and content there posted. Also, current tools fail fighting and preventing oppressions, which impacts the decision of using a network and users’ comfort.

Abstract:

The 21st century African society is rife with oppressive and retrogressive customs and values that oppress and subjugate women. As a result, African women writers have embraced literary forms and subjects that highlight these issues and advocate for their elimination from society. Among these writers is Julie Okoh, a playwright, who projects her concerns about the dangers of female circumcision in her play, Edewede. Using feminism as a theoretical framework, this article interrogates Okoh’s adoption of the principles of two opposing feminist perspectives─African and radical feminism─with a view to revealing their impact in rousing her female characters from subservience, ignorance and passivity, to revolt against their oppression through social protest. It is discovered that education, consciousness-raising, sisterhood, female solidarity and resilience are powerful tools for women’s empowerment in the play. It is recommended that women should not be context bound in their choice and expression of feminist perspectives, strategies or weapons in the fight against gender inequality, oppression and exploitation; they should be open to contemporary avenues and progressive choices that will pave the way to their emancipation and social change.

Abstract:

Based on survey data from a first nationwide assessment ( n = 2093), we analyze the situation of Chilean prisons from an anti-oppressive, social work perspective. Our main findings reveal that many inmates experienced mistreatment from guards and/or from fellow prisoners, had limited access to in-prison programs, and reported poor infrastructure conditions. Inmates also identified priorities for improving prisons. Finally, we created an ‘oppression index’ and linked it to accessing in-prison programs, discovering that those with lower scores (less oppressed) tended to participate more frequently. Finally, we suggest some changes to the prison system and to the role of social work within it.

Abstract:

Understanding the perception of internalized and community homophobia reported by gay men living with HIV is especially important because it contributes to the production of knowledge that can support public health policies aimed at caring for this population doubly exposed to the burden of stigma. The objective of the study was to evaluate internalized homophobia and perceived social oppression by a sample of gay men living with HIV/AIDS and to verify associations between homophobia and sociodemographic variables of the participants. This is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. Participants were 138 gay men with HIV, mean age of 36 years. The survey was conducted online, in the second semester of 2022. The Internalized Homophobia Scale and a sociodemographic questionnaire were used. High scores were found both on the subscale of social oppression, which verifies the perceived stigma in the community, and on the internalized homophobia, which refers to the stigma of gay men in relation to homosexuality. More than 93% of the participants believe that society punishes homosexual people, 98.55% that discrimination against homosexual people is still common, 22% do not like to think about their own sexuality and 22% prefer to have anonymous sexual partnerships. A greater perception of homophobia was verified among retirees and unemployed. The alarming scores of internalized and perceived homophobia in the community point to the urgency of intersectoral actions in Brazil aimed at reducing stigma, especially among individuals belonging to key populations, such as those living with HIV.

Abstract:

This article argues for the increased use of tenets of social cognitive theory (SCT) when studying stay–leave decision-making processes for victims of partner abuse. SCT is widely utilized to explain and predict human behavior in a variety of contexts including political reform and social activism against oppressive governments. Further, different conceptualizations of control (e.g., empowerment) are being widely used in partner abuse research. However, self-efficacy beliefs and outcome expectancies are rarely utilized to predict how people will try to exercise control over themselves and their surrounding environments within intimate relationships characterized by oppression. The absence of SCT within partner abuse literature is paradoxical given that multilevel systematic oppression of groups of people (e.g., women, racial minorities) contributes to the high prevalence of partner violence. The article reviews the literature on stay–leave decisions to argue that variations in combined self-efficacy and outcome expectancy beliefs may explain variance in victims’ responses to partner abuse. The status of research is critiqued, a future research agenda is presented, and clinical recommendations are suggested to aid the advancement of SCT applications in the context of abusive relationships.

Abstract:

Many literary research papers have dealt with the work of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale (1985) as a feminist work. However, nearly few studies combine social oppression with religious extremism. To bridge this gap, the present study aims at exploring the use of totalitarian theocracy of terror to oppress its citizens in the name of religion. In other words, it explicates the way religion is used to brutally suppress and exploit people in general and vulnerable women in particular. To meet this objective, the study adopted the qualitative descriptive method to describe how religion is used as a contradictory controlling means in Gilead discourse. It also adopted the Foucault theory in analyzing the data of the study, illustrating the means of terror in the novel, and identifying the features of the Gileadean regime. The study has concluded that the plight of women does not happen in a vacuum. It is a result and a reflection of people's past and present times. It is the extremist religious discourse that almost always contributes to violence and oppression. Finally, the Republic of Gilead highlights a common point between the dark and modern ages where the female citizens lived under the oppressive patriarchal government.

Abstract:

Purpose of the Study: The Study explores the concept of intersectionality research's desire to improve society. The factors responsible for the oppression of women, such as religion, culture, gender, and class, have been studied separately; however, the present Study attempts to explore the concept of 'internationally' coined by Crenshaw (1989), in Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns and Hanif's Our lady of Alice Bhatti, by viewing the discrimination and oppression experienced by the literary fmale characters as the result of multiple oppressing as a result of multiple oppressing systems working simultaneously. Methodology: Thru critical reviews of the existing literature, including qualitative analysis, inclusing Textual analysis support, helps explore the exising phenomena of the current studies. The Textual-analysis approach provides the investigator to examine throughlly the respondents' views by getting more explanations. Textual analyses arehelful tool for additional explanation and findings, as provide foundation and considers as the necessary tools in qualitative analysis. Main Findings: The Study has examined the idea of intersectionality. However, this investigations also examined the different social factors, like different class and genders in the lives of South-Asian-women. Based on our in-depths examination of case-study., we clarifies, different classes and genders inquities contributions to some women in South-Asian-culture. Novelty/Originality of Study: This paper discussion has great values to scholars, that found interest in intersectionality-framework-applications. Similarly, A greater and extra thoughtful existing of intersectionality' could increase the population –level interatcitons such as policy change, or applicable within-the social interations of affected publics.

Abstract:

Resumo Este artigo objetiva delinear os contornos peculiares dos conflitos religiosos no Brasil contemporâneo, a partir de uma reflexão teórica com base na literatura sociológica referente à intolerância religiosa nacional. As reflexões apontam para um entendimento de que este fenômeno encerra genealogia ancorada nas formulações ideológicas de origem colonial construídas para subordinar ou extinguir as experiências, histórias, recursos e produtos culturais de povos colonizados/escravizados marcados pela inferioridade mental e cultural baseada em diferenças raciais artificialmente criadas. Seus desenhos atuais respondem ao legado colonial do racismo epistêmico, entrecruzado com a disputa pelo mercado religioso e as características peculiares da religiosidade nacional crédula de soluções mágico-religiosas para seus problemas cotidianos, sobrepostos à tendência da sociedade brasileira em usar da violência para a solução de conflitos. A tese deste artigo teórico sustenta que a intolerância religiosa brasileira contemporânea se articula por estas quatro vertentes de sinergia e performance que se retroalimentam.

Abstract:

In the United States, child welfare reform efforts have dominated three decades of landscape. With glimmers of systemic promise and innumerable individual success stories, data suggest insufficient improvements, resulting in calls for transformation and even abolition. In this article, the authors illustrate structures of oppression that bolster the system’s tentacles, in regulating family life, contributing to racial disparities, reinforcing economic hardships, and supporting policies of family separation. Some of the structures take the form of practices, policies, laws or regulations. Individually and collectively, these structures may serve to oppress and harm those that the child welfare system intends to help. In this article, we include mandated reporting, substantiation decisions, central registries, decision-making processes, background checks, ongoing service delivery frameworks, conservative interpretations of confidentiality statutes, and how immigration status interplays with child welfare. Each of these structures could warrant an individual article, delving into the inner workings of how each oppresses families and the professionals who work with them. We also recognize that there are other structures of oppression that this article will not address. We encourage other scholars to not only continue the identification of oppressive structures, but to also work collaboratively, to generate solutions that dismantle these mechanisms that continue to perpetuate harm and unnecessary family separation.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper was initially written for a European Academy of Caring Science workshop and aimed to provide clarity and direction about Caring Science by offering some ideas emerging from the philosophy, themes, and projects of EACS. An underpinning concept for the work of the Academy is the lifeworld. The focus of the workshop was to explore the lifeworld of the patient, student, and carer. The intention was to promote discussion around the need to provide alternative ways to conceptualise caring relevant knowledge, naming phenomena and practices central to caring sciences, and the educational curriculum and its adequacy for caring science. This paper seeks to identify concepts and approaches to understanding oppression, power, and justice which enable nurses to challenge the structures in health care environments which discriminate or disempower clients. Anti-oppressive practice theory and reflexive lifeworld-led approaches to care enable nurses to be critical of their practice. A framework for teaching social justice in health care is offered to augment teaching students to challenge oppressive practice and to assist nurses to reflect and develop conceptual models to guide practices which are central to promoting caring interactions.

Abstract:

The social justice uprisings that have stemmed from several recent highly publicized murders of Black people by police have shed increasing light on the systems of oppression, inequity, and white supremacy that have been the backbone of the United States’ policing and criminal justice systems since their inception. The American Psychological Association, along with many professional organizations across the subfields of psychology, has released its statement outlining how psychology must contribute to the eradication of systemic racism and white supremacy. In this article, we address the need for psychology and its subfields to acknowledge our complicity in certain systems of oppression, such as our ties to law enforcement and the police, our support of mental health reforms that merely increase the scope of a punitive criminal justice system, and our complicity in the harm done by our current immigration policies. We argue that the best way, in fact the only way, for the profession to move toward an antiracist psychological practice is to embrace an abolitionist framework so that we may reimagine our relationships with historically oppressive institutions and rebuild our clinical practices to promote life-affirming interventions and liberation for individuals and communities.
