The intention behind Sharing Practice sessions is to create spaces to share our practice in dialogues within community that holds a collective ethic of justice-doing in community work, counselling and therapy. Each session focuses on specific practice explored in an article, and will have provocations to foster emergent, meaningful dialogues and assist us to explore our practices and witness others in connected struggles.
A Solidarity Approach to writing/inquiry could be useful to students and practitioners struggling, as I did, to be both ethical and accountable in writing. I lay out my strategy to hold all of my ‘research’ and writing accountable to the ethical stance of justice-doing I have for my activism and therapeutic work.
This solidarity approach included solidarity teams and community accountability practices as I didn’t want to replicate any oppression my work was striving to resist. We will connect on your relationship to writing/research and your ethical and practice frame for your work.
