Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will examine the social and political origins of gender-based violence and the impact that this violence has had on the long term mental, physical and social health of individuals and groups of people living and working in Canada. The author(s) of each chapter will use intersectional feminist or allied frameworks, epistemologies, and pedagogies including critical race, decolonization or other perspectives, to examine how gender-based violence produces overlapping socio-historical, marginal and privileged social identities, and general or specific health issues. General themes of this edited volume include the following:
Newcomers: sexual violence, trauma, identity issues, and newcomer health.
First Nations: colonization, systemic/institutional racism, state violence, Indigenous mothering, urban/rural/remote/Northern Indigenous health and environments.
IPV and Sexual Harm: sexual health and safety, long-term physical and mental health outcomes of Intimate Partner Violence.
Families: ageism and health, health and media representations, mothering, trans/non-binary experiences, long-term physical and mental health outcomes.
Social Policy: elder abuse, substance use issues, homelessness and public health implications.
Education: sexual- and gender-based education, prevention and response to sexual violence though workshops and mainstream and social media.
