POLICE UNDERSTANDINGS OF AND RESPONSES TO A COMPLEX VIGNETTE OF “HONOUR”-BASED CRIME AND FORCED MARRIAGE
No full textPolice understandings of honour-based crimes (HBCs) and forced marriages (FMs) vary in terms of an individual officer’s level of expertise, knowledge, and experience in handling such situations. This study applied constructivist grounded theory approaches to analyze individual interviews with 32 police officers and 14 civilians in police agencies operating in urban and rural settings in Alberta, Canada. Specifically, this paper seeks to answer how police officers and civilians who work in police agencies experience, make sense of, and understand HBCs. Participants received a hypothetical vignette about a young woman who had reached out to the police. The vignette illustrated various forms of abuse by the woman’s father, the involvement of other actors (mother, brother, family friend) and the culmination in an FM. After reading the vignette, participants were asked to respond to six questions. Analysis revealed that both police and civilians recognized the need in the vignette scenario for intervention, while experiencing uncertainty about how to respond. The findings showed that not everyone in policing would be able to identify reliably the need for police intervention, and that investigations could proceed differently depending on the investigator’s level of knowledge and awareness of HBCs and FMs. Police have achieved some successful interventions, but still lack sufficient guidance on how torespond to these crimes. Clear, appropriate policies regarding which cases need to be directed to specialized domestic violence units for follow-up are needed. A significant finding points to the importance of considering cultural sensitivity discourses as well as the impact of cultural and racist stereotypes when responding to situations like the one outlined in the vignette
Essential But Not Essentialized: An Analysis of Sex and Gender Within Diasporic Filipinx/a/o Babaylan Discourse
No full textIn recent years babaylan have become a figure of decolonization and indigenization for diasporic Filipinx/a/o. Babaylan were, in simplest terms, healers, shamans, and medicine people, who had a prominent societal status during the pre-colonial era on the Philippine archipelago. However, Spanish Catholics eliminated this social standing during the colonial period and imposed a new sex-gender system with a lasting legacy: the introduction of a gender binary, biological gender essentialism, gender roles, and uneven gender relations. Using a queer gender lens, I analyze the legacy and normalization of this Hispano-Catholic sex-gender system as an unquestioned set of assumptions within the discourse of diasporic Babaylan Studies. I suggest future academic inquiries should employ greater attention to gender diversity in Babaylan Studies discourse as part of an intersectional, decolonial praxis
Common Worlding Pedagogies: Opening Up to Learning with Worlds
No full textCommon worlding is a collective pedagogical approach. It is also a deliberate move to open up education to worlds beyond narrow human preoccupations and concerns and beyond its standard framing as an exclusively social practice. In this article, we identify some of the guiding principles that underpin this approach and explain how they work out in practice. We do so by offering a selection of illustrative vignettes drawn from the Walking with Wildlife in Wild Weather Times early childhood research project in Canberra, Australia, and from the Witnessing the Ruins of Progress early childhood research collaboratory in Ontario, Canada
