Doing Justice As a Path to Sustainability in Community Work DOING JUSTICE AS A PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY IN COMMUNITY WORK PROEFCHRIFT ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan de Universiteit van Tilburg, op gezag van de rector magnificus, prof. dr. Ph. Eijlander, in het openbaar te verdedigen ten overstaan van een door het college voor promoties aangewezen commissie in de Ruth First zaal van de Universiteit op dinsdag 9 februari 2010 om 14. 15 uur door Victoria ann Reynolds geboren op 21 march 1961 te Toronto, Ontario, Canada Promotores: Prof. Dr. Kenneth J. Gergen Prof. Dr. John B. Rijsman SUMMARY: DOING JUSTICE AS A PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY IN COMMUNITY WORK I believe that it is possible to stay alive and useful in community work that takes place in contexts of social injustices. Sustaining ourselves in this difficult and sometimes spiritually painful work becomes more possible when we are able to work in accord with our ethics, embrace a spirit of solidarity, and see our collective work as doing justice. In the frame of this writing, I describe the paths that have led me to this work from social justice activism. The clients I have worked alongside have impacted my work, particularly survivors of torture and political violence, and people of the downtown Eastside of Vancouver who are subjected to social injustices and extreme marginalization. I am the supervisor for counsellors, community workers, and practitioners who work in these contexts of social injustice, and it is my task to shoulder them up to be useful for the long haul. In Part I, I outline my ethical stance for doing justice. This stance is comprised of six Guiding Intentions. Centering Ethics helps us put our shared ethics at the center by taking positions against neutrality and for justice. Doing Solidarity means that we see all of our work towards justice as inter-connected and that we act collectively. Naming Power requires identifying injustices and taking positions that address abuses of power. It includes witnessing peoples' resistance to oppression, addressing privilege, and creating practices of accountability. Fostering Collective Sustainability acknowledges that we are meant to do this work together. We resist individualism, and invite collective social responsibility for a just society without putting the burden of an unjust society on the backs of individual workers. Critically Engaging with Language acknowledges the power of language, and commitments to using language in liberatory ways. It welcomes the language that occurs outside of words. Structuring Safety creates practices that invite safety into our work, informs us to act as allies where we are privileged, and to honour collaboration. In Part II, I outline the Solidarity Group practice that I created in response to both the contexts of injustice I worked in, and my longstanding commitment to this ethical stance for doing justice. The Solidarity Group promotes collective sustainability by nourishing workers connections with an ethic of doing justice in their work and their lives. It brings forward a spirit of social justice, and invites us to act in solidarity with the aim of creating an experience of community while contesting isolation and individualism. The center of the Solidarity Group is collective. I invite participants into group work that holds the entire group at the center as the resource. The supervisor is not the resource. The dialogue is organized around experiences which may include acts of justice, ethical struggles, startling successes, or painful losses. This is a different emphasis because we do not organize around "cases" or problems of individual workers. Solidarity Groups are inspired by Collaborative and Narrative therapies and are influenced by the innovative history of Reflecting Teams. In bridging activism and community work my hope is that the ethical stance of doing justice can make a contribution to our collective sustainability. As with clients, we do not want to be merely survivors of this ii complex work. We want to be of use, acting in accord with the ethics to which we are committed and fully alive across time. For David Walton 1959 -2005 Whose integrity, unapologetic-earnestness, and ethical ways of being continue to humble and inspire. And whose solidarity accompanies me on many paths to liberation, and in this writing. I have worked alongside survivors of torture and political violence and community workers in New Zealand, Australia, Dharamsala (India), Chile, and Canada. In Botswana, Africa, I worked and lived with political refugees. These good people are the heart of this work. iii Doing Justice as a Path to Sustainability in Community Work CONTENTS The Frame .......................................................................................................................................................... 1 i.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date Agrii atJmn DE-6 (2/88) Abstract The experience of subjectivity provided by an art form can consist of the sense of "recognizing ourselves, our feelings, our bodies, our beliefs, or our social positions" in the art work (Middleton, 1990). For fans of guitarist-singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, the identification with a subjective reality experienced in her music is powerful and pleasurable enough to inspire them with ardent devotion. Ani DiFranco's influence may not be simply reduced to her media image as a bisexual feminist, with fanatically obsessive and possessive fans, who has achieved stunning financial success completely independent of any major recording label.

    SINGING QUEER: ARCHIVING AND CONSTRUCTING A LINEAGE THROUGH SONG by Katharine A. Cherry-Reid B.A., The University of Guelph, 1997 B.Ed., The University of British Columbia, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2015 © Katharine A. Cherry-Reid, 2015 Abstract Using an arts-based approach, this research examines how songs written by queer and lesbian musicians can account for and archive queer lived existence while constructing a musical genealogy for listeners and artists alike. By examining my own experience of listening to and attending performances of certain queer and lesbian identified musicians, and then composing and performing my own songs in public spaces, I make a case for the corporeal mobility of songs, and a process I have termed “queer musical lineaging.” Much of the research around music to date has centred on how it impacts and influences brain activity, and how it brings together subcultures and publics. The significance of this project lies in the research around musical processes and practices (listening, composing, performing) as corporeal acts that connect bodies to one another, and build kinships. This research draws mainly upon primary sources of autoethnographic, written accounts in the form of journal entries, stories, poems and song lyrics, and conducts an interpretive analysis of six “queer” songs, five composed by the author of this thesis, and one composed in collaboration with a trans* youth. This project will contribute to research on arts-based practices as archival work, as well as the impact that songs have on people’s lives by broadening our understanding of music’s corporeal effects and genealogical role in lived experience.

I also drew the line between DiFranco being only 19 when she released her first album where “The Story” appears and that I had been in my late teens the first time I heard her muisc.
