“…Epistemic justice requires virtuous hearing (Fricker, 2013), and virtuous hearing requires a micro-ecosystem and time (Bourgault, 2020). This publication presents a discussion of the artsbased activity system as a micro-ecosystem that can contribute to epistemic justice in DBT skills training research, with further exploration of the role of time in future research.…”

Using Art to Undermine Epistemic Injustice in DBT Research

Through participatory Arts-Based Research, constructed within the theoretical basis of the Activity System, participants engaged with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program content to develop a cohesive and meaningful project structure and aesthetic. Practitioner/researcher supremacy is disrupted by participatory Arts-Based Research and upheld by temporal constraints, as demonstrated by participant engagement and disruptions to participant collaboration. This research pilots a replicable framework that centers the experiences of individuals completing DBT, interrupts cycles of harm, and uplifts social knowledge construction that emanates from DBT skills training communities. DBT is a skills-based psychotherapeutic approach that prepares individuals to address problems in living that result from the development of mental disorders in environments that persistently signal that an individual is an unreliable informant of their own experience. In its standard format, DBT incorporates a group skills training component to remediate skill deficits developed in this invalidating environment. The body of literature that explores DBT skills training is structured in a way that elevates practitioner/researcher perceptions of individual progress over participants’ interpretations of their own collective experiences. Arts-Based Research is a theoretically-backed methodology that can disrupt the harmful parallels between the development of the disorders DBT is intended to treat and the dominant research paradigm into DBT.

“…Scholars in social work (see, e.g. Bell, 2014; Bourgault, 2020; Doan, 2017; Iacono, 2017; Lee et al, 2019) have used the concepts of epistemic injustice more than have their counterparts in sociolegal studies (compare, e.g. Lindsey, 2019; Tsosie, 2012).…”

Indigenous parents and child welfare: Mistrust, epistemic injustice, and training

The settler state's taking of Indigenous children into care disrupts their communities and continues destructive, assimilationist policies. This article presents the perceptions of lawyers, social workers and judges of how Indigenous parents experience child welfare in Quebec. Our participants characterized those experiences negatively. Barriers of language and culture as well as mistrust impede meaningful participation. Parents experience epistemic injustice, wronged in their capacity as knowers. Mistrust also hampers efforts to include Indigenous workers in the system. Emphasizing state workers’ ignorance of Indigenous family practices and the harms of settler colonialism, participants called for greater training. But critical literature on professional education signals the limits of such training to change institutions. Our findings reinforce the jurisdictional calls away from improving the system towards empowering Indigenous peoples to run services of child welfare. The patterns detected and theoretical resources used are relevant to researchers of other institutions that interact with vulnerable populations.

“…That world includes our bodies, our selves, and our environment, all of which we seek to interweave in a complex, life-sustaining web. (Quoted in Tronto, 1993: 103) While departing from the definition of care found in gender and welfare studies, the feminist ethics of care approach does recognise that care values can underlie the labour meant to promote the welfare of those who cannot, or who are not inclined to, do this by themselves (Barnes, 2012;Bourgault, 2020;Stensöta, 2020). Yet, it goes beyond this, as it appreciates how the orientation and act of feeling compassion for, and caring about, the unmet needs and rights of people can lead to justice practices.…”

Migrant-led organisations as caring communities: towards a re-appreciation of the reciprocal dimension of care

This article examines care in the context of a migrant-led non-governmental organisation run by and supporting London’s Latin American migrants. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this article suggests that the non-governmental organisation can be best described as a ‘caring community’: it cares for migrants by helping them access their entitlements, information and care, while also fostering spaces where reciprocal caring relationships develop. This article concludes by arguing that examining care in the contexts of migrant-led non-governmental organisations can help us move beyond the tendency to confine care to the dyadic, unequal relationships dominating migration and care studies.
