12. Healing for Women of Color Using Martial Arts

Join the Center for Women and Gender Equity for a research seminar titled Personal and Collective Healing for Women of Color Using the Martial Arts: Preliminary Results of a Qualitative Dissertation

Trauma and cultural psychology have been critiqued for their failure to account for factors of relationship and place in trauma research, which may reinforce legacies of colonization and negatively affect mental health. Feminist conceptual frameworks and decolonizing research methods have been suggested as tools that can transform the discipline of psychological research and practice offering new possibilities for thinking through research and practices of trauma recovery. This presentation will outline preliminary findings as the researcher, Jacqueline Barco, doctoral candidate in Counseling Psychology at the University of Utah and martial arts practitioner for over 15 years, addresses these gaps in psychological trauma using feminist and decolonizing frameworks and individual narratives as data to explore the impact of colonization on women of color and how women of color make meaning of their own healing and recovery from trauma through participation in martial arts. The presentation will include a discussion of how the use of feminist and women of color research methodologies can be transformative in challenging the discipline to think and listen differently.

4. Information Literacy and Its Applications

Information, information literacy, and democracy: Preparing students to be informed citizens

Presented by:

1) Colleen Boff, Head Librarian of Curriculum Resources

2) Paul Valdez, Associate Director, BGSU Center for Public Impact

3) Maureen Barry; Assistant Professor, Reference and Instruction Reference Librarian

4) Edith Scarletto, Assistant Professor, Reference and Instruction Librarian

5) Chris Robinson-Nkongola, Assistant Professor, Reference and Instruction Librarian

“Information literacy (IL) is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning.” (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2015). IL concepts and skills apply to academic assignments, but how are we helping our students transfer those skills to everyday information gathering, particularly in the context of community engagement and preparing active, informed citizens in a democracy? In this two-part workshop, faculty will integrate information literacy knowledge practices and dispositions into a new or existing course unit, assignment, learning activity, or program. The first workshop will involve learning more about different information literacy techniques and resources. The second workshop will bring participants back together to share how they applied information literacy techniques and resources in courses, programs, or other areas.
