No full textPhoto-lithographs, paper.My research is interested in how definitions and labels pertaining to mental illness permeate into a broader social context. I discovered that when an individual has been marked with a particular diagnosis, two distinct identities are formed as a means of protection from stigma. Using David Hume’s theory of Personal Identity, I concluded that each of these identities served a specific purpose for the individual and, while they fluctuated depending on the situation, stayed isolated from one another.

Poeticizing a Story of Asylum: Refugees, Refuge, and Refuse
No full text…the foreigner is first of all foreign to the legal language in which the duty of hospitality is formulated, the right to asylum, its limits, norms, policing, etc. He has to ask for hospitality in a language which by definition is not his own, the one imposed on him by the master of the house, the host, the king, the lord, the authorities, the nation, the State, the father, etc. This personage imposes on him translation into their own language, and that’s the first act of violence.(Derrida, 2000, p. 15) Today, Rohingya refugees continue to flood across the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta from Myanmar to Bangladesh. For many of them, there is no promise of return, of reprieve, of refuge, as they seek asylum from religious persecution. There are no homes, only hospital rooms and hallways awaiting the wounded and injured. These are the news headlines on TV.
