  • Color-Conscious Multicultural Mindfulness (Ccmm): an Investigation of Counseling Students and Pre-Licensed Counselors
    COLOR-CONSCIOUS MULTICULTURAL MINDFULNESS (CCMM): AN INVESTIGATION OF COUNSELING STUDENTS AND PRE-LICENSED COUNSELORS By EMILIE AYN LENES A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 © 2018 Emilie Ayn Lenes Dedicated to you, the reader in this moment right now. May we evoke curiosity and compassion with one another. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Synchronicity and grace have guided my way, and I thank the divinely orchestrated fabric that somehow enabled this dissertation to come to completion. Despite all the literature I have read, and the profound education that I have received from an incalculable number of exceptional people, I know that I still have many areas of development. I am on a lifelong journey of dismantling my own social conditioning. Our American society has been built upon racist roots and oppressive systems that advantage some groups of people and marginalize others. Awareness of this has given me a sense of ethical responsibility to be on a collective team of people who are working towards tikkun olam. This dissertation has drawn upon interactions throughout my lifetime, but especially over the past decade at the PACE Center for Girls. Individual and group conversations continuously enlighten me, as well as participation in multicultural and/or mindfulness conferences and trainings over the years. I acknowledge those whose insights have been integrated on a level beyond my ability to always remember precise attributions. Undoubtedly, there is someone who may be reading this right now, who contributed in some way(s) that I neglect to mention.

It is meant to disseminate what we have deemed important information throughout our studies. This information may be used as a tool for all people, women in particular, who wish to dismantle the oppressions they face externally, and within their own lives. We are two men and one woman attempting to grasp at how we can deconstruct the patriarchal foundations upon which we perceive an unjust society has been built. We hope that at least some component of this work will be found useful to a variety of readers. This Zine is meant to be an introduction into anarcha-feminism, its origins, applications, and potentials. Buen provecho! We acknowledge that anarcha-feminism has historically been a western theory; thus, unfortunately, much of this ziners content reflects this limitation. However, we have included some information and analysis on worldwide anarcha-feminists as well as global women's struggles which don't necessarily identify as anarchist.

  • GENDER STUDIES NEWSLETTER Spring 2017 Letter from Director
    GENDER STUDIES NEWSLETTER Spring 2017 Letter from Director As we move into the Spring and I take stock of our accomplishments for the 2016-2017 year, I am truly astonished and so very proud. In this newsletter, I have attempted to cover the wide range of gender-related events and advancements on campus, and frankly, I ran out of room. For such a small campus to create such a massive, wide-reaching impact brings me joy. We have a truly committed faculty and hardworking students who are determined to open the theories of our classrooms to the wider world. Imagine what we can accomplish if we keep it up. We can change the world. We are changing the world. Given the divisiveness of recent political events, finding hope and strength in our work is imperative. So is solidarity. Here’s to a refreshing spring semester and another round of transformative gender programming. - Corey L. Wrenn, PhD DID YOU KNOW? Many Gender Studies minors also major or minor in SOCIOLOGY! Monmouth’s Gender Studies Program is a housed within the Sociology Department. Speak with a faculty member today about what a degree in Sociology and/or Gender Studies can do for your life after Monmouth. NEWS Monmouth University Gender Studies Faculty and Affiliates Pen Letter to The Outlook The following is a reprint of a letter printed in a November issue of The Outlook, Monmouth’s student newspaper. As concerned educators, we are reaching out to students, faculty, administrators, staff, and the extended campus community to encourage open and respectful dialogue in this post-election period.

BREAKING THE FAT STIGMA Samantha Hall I N T R O Hi, this is me. I am a plus size woman. According to my BMI, which the medical world still tends to use (even though it's extremely flawed), I am considered "obese" and to be "normal" weight, I should lose 100 pounds (I can't even imagine that!). Maybe some people think I should lose weight, and maybe others don't. But what I can tell you is that I am a healthy young woman. I workout multiple times a week, go on daily walks, and have a clean bill of health with no concerns. I've been made fun of because of my weight, and been told by my own family members I would be "prettier" if I lost some pounds. I do many things that should help me to lose weight, yet I am still larger.

Fat Vegan Politics: A Survey of Fat Vegan Activists’ Online Experiences with Social Movement Sizeism Corey Lee Wrenn Monmouth University KEYWORDS fat-shaming, fat studies, online activism, sizeism, social movements, veganism ABSTRACT The author examines the consequences of stigma strategies in vegan activism as it is experienced by fat vegan activists. The fat politics of veganism in online spaces is examined in data provided by a 2016 qualitative survey of fat-identified vegan activists. Results highlight the subjective experiences of fat vegans, illuminating the meaning of healthism, sizeism, and thin-privilege in vegan social justice spaces. Sizeism is a significant concern for fat vegan activists as respondents report only medium-level feelings of comfort and community, with one in four reporting having experienced fat discrimination in the movement. Most indicate that online vegan spaces feel safer than those offline, but most also perceive vegan online spaces as less inclusive than nonvegan ones.

  • UNIT on Sizeism
    http://www.socialjusticeeducation.org Tools for Building Justice, January, 2003 UNIT on Sizeism Session outline: Session # 1. Introduction Beginning with discussion of photos depicting “sizeism,” students go on to review early experiences of negative messages about body size and shape, drawing parallels with male and female socialization. Session closes with strategies for immediate interventions in the photo scenes. 2. The Perfect Body Students design and/or otherwise define the “perfect” body image and consider institutions in which “perfect” bodies are prescribed, applying the concepts of target and nontarget groups, internalized oppression, and acts of alliance to sizeism 3. Our Bodies, Ourselves Students look at experiences of internalized oppression—“when I don’t look right.” Then they conduct a speak-out: what should never be said or done to young people with real—not “perfect”—bodies again. The session closes with student suggestions for changing the school environment to intervene against sizeism. Unit on Sizeism 1 Session 1 Introduction Aims • To introduce the unit on sizeism • To identify and discuss two situations of sizeism involving youth • To define sizeism • To enhance emotional safety in the group to discuss sizeism Skills Students will: • Identify target group members in two situations of sizeism affecting youth • Identify personal experiences of receiving negative messages about size • Define sizeism as the mistreatment of or discrimination against someone based upon perceived body size or shape • Modify safety agreements to reflect increased awareness of sizeism • Identify acts of alliance against sizeism Preparation You will need photographs for discussion; students will need writing materials. Session Description Beginning with discussion of photos depicting “sizeism,” students go on to review early experiences of negative messages about body size and shape, drawing parallels with male and female socialization.

  • Dr. Joan Chrisler- Sizeism and Fat Shaming Therese Markow
    Episode 14: Dr. Joan Chrisler- Sizeism and Fat Shaming Therese Markow: Welcome to this week's episode of Critically Speaking, where we explore issues at the intersection of science and society, issues central to individual and societal health and wellbeing. I'm your host, Therese Markow. There's been increasing attention in the media to what's referred to as the obesity epidemic or crisis in the United States and other Western countries. On the other side of the coin, considerable evidence exists that something called fat shaming or the denigration of fat people can be very damaging. The same is true of discrimination against fat people. A number of movements which collectively could be called fat acceptance movements have emerged to bring these attitudes and practices to light and to support fat people who feel their effects. Today's guest, Dr. Joan Chrisler, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Connecticut College, and Editor of the academic journal, Women's Reproductive Health, has written extensively about women's reproductive rights as well as issues confronting fat people. Dr Chrisler's expertise will provide us with the perspectives of the fat acceptance movement. Dr Chrisler, welcome to Critically Speaking. Dr.Joan Chrisler: Thanks for inviting me. Therese Markow: Dr. Chrisler, can you tell us exactly what sizeism is? Dr.Joan Chrisler: Sizeism refers to prejudice or discrimination against individuals based on their body size or shape. So, it could refer to making fun of people who are considered to be too tall or too short or too thin. But given our society's aesthetic preference for thinness and our bias against heavy weight, it's almost always directed against people who are considered to be too fat.
