Zipp ii Abstract Experiences of oppression and experiences of multiple oppressions have long been linked to psychological distress. Newer research has been conducted looking at the traumatic effects that oppression can have on mental health including PTSD symptom development. The experience of trauma in women and its links to PTSD have also long been studied but there has been no research to date to look at the experiences of lesbian women who experience IPV and how sexism and heterosexism may affect the development of PTSD symptoms. The current study added to the existing literature by exploring the additive and interactional roles that multiple oppressions play in individual’s lives. Specifically, the present study hypothesized additive effects and interactional effects between internalized sexism, internalized heterosexism, externalized sexism, and externalized heterosexism in predicting PTSD symptom severity. Additionally, it was predicted that a moderated moderation would exist, where the relationship between externalized oppression and PTSD symptom severity is moderated by internalized oppression with IPV severity moderating the relationship between internalized oppression and PTSD symptom severity. Participants were 209 lesbian women. Hierarchical regression analysis found support for externalized sexism as a unique predictor for PTSD symptom severity. Implications are discussed. Keywords: sexism, heterosexism, intimate partner violence, PTSD iii DEDICATION I dedicate this work to all sexual minority women. It is my hope that one day we can all love equally and find solidarity in our shared fight for liberation. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Dawn Johnson, my graduate advisor and mentor. I can’t imagine that I would have been able to accomplish all of this without your endless support, wisdom, and guidance. Thank you, Dawn. My committee members, Drs Margo Gregor, Ronald Levant, Suzette Speight, and John Zipp, I am thankful for all the ways that you helped me to advance my thinking about this study. I would like to recognize the unequivocal support of my cohort members, Kathleen Alto, Maria Pappa, Sarah Sanders, and Rebecca Schlesinger. I am so grateful that you were all a part of this journey.

Oppression has been defined in multiple ways over time with the common theme that there is a dominant group and a non-dominant group, with the dominant group keeping needed resources away from the non-dominant group (Bartky, 1990; Mar’i, 1988; Sidanius, 1993; Young, 1990). Bartky (1990) in particular, viewed oppression as not just the dominant group retaining control politically and economically but also psychologically. Bartky (1990) purported that oppression is not purely political or purely psychological but that the political and psychological nature of oppression are inherently linked. Oppression is inherently a state as well as a process of domination by a majority group but also, the insidious psychological control of subjugation of a marginalized group, who believe that they are less than the majority group, deserving of less resources, and ultimately deserving of the oppression they are experiencing (Bartky, 1990; Prilleltensky & Gonick, 1996). Thus, oppression can be defined as “a state of asymmetric power relations characterized by domination, subordination, and resistance, where the dominating persons or groups exercise their power by restricting access to material resources and by implanting in the subordinated persons or groups fear or self- 1 deprecating views about themselves” (Prilleltensky & Gonick, 1996, pp. 129-130). The current study aimed to better understand the additive and interactional perspectives in the experiences of sexism and heterosexism in lesbian women. Research on oppression has shown the links between the experience of oppression and negative mental health consequences, including but not limited to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Balsam, 2003; Bryant-Davis & Ocampo, 2005; Carter, 2007; Carter, Forsyth, Mazzula, & Williams, 2005; Neisen, 1993; Root,1992; Sanchez-Hucles, 1998; Szymanski & Balsam, 2011) and argue for a change in the American Psychiatric Associations Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (2013; DSM-5) in the diagnostic criteria for PTSD to include experiences of oppression. Less is known about how the traumatic experience of oppression, multiple

  • University LGBT Centers and the Professional Roles Attached to Such Spaces Are Roughly
    INTRODUCTION University LGBT Centers and the professional roles attached to such spaces are roughly 45-years old. Cultural and political evolution has been tremendous in that time and yet researchers have yielded a relatively small field of literature focusing on university LGBT centers. As a scholar-activist practitioner struggling daily to engage in a critically conscious life and professional role, I launched an interrogation of the foundational theorizing of university LGBT centers. In this article, I critically examine the discursive framing, theorization, and practice of LGBT campus centers as represented in the only three texts specifically written about center development and practice. These three texts are considered by center directors/coordinators, per my conversations with colleagues and search of the literature, to be the canon in terms of how centers have been conceptualized and implemented. The purpose of this work was three-fold. Through a queer feminist lens focused through interlocking systems of oppression and the use of critical discourse analysis (CDA) 1, I first examined the methodological frameworks through which the canonical literature on centers has been produced. The second purpose was to identify if and/or how identity and multicultural frameworks reaffirmed whiteness as a norm for LGBT center directors. Finally, I critically discussed and raised questions as to how to interrupt and resist heteronormativity and homonormativity in the theoretical framing of center purpose and practice. Hired to develop and direct the University of Washington’s first lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT2) campus center in 2004, I had the rare opportunity to set and implement with the collaboration of queerly minded students, faculty, and staff, a critically theorized and reflexive space.

  • Homophobia and Transphobia Illumination Project Curriculum
    Homophobia and Transphobia Illumination Project Curriculum Andrew S. Forshee, Ph.D., Early Education & Family Studies Portland Community College Portland, Oregon INTRODUCTION Homophobia and transphobia are complicated topics that touch on core identity issues. Most people tend to conflate sexual orientation with gender identity, thus confusing two social distinctions. Understanding the differences between these concepts provides an opportunity to build personal knowledge, enhance skills in allyship, and effect positive social change. GROUND RULES (10­15 minutes) Materials: chart paper, markers, tape. Due to the nature of the topic area, it is essential to develop ground rules for each student to follow. Ask students to offer some rules for participation in the post­performance workshop (i.e., what would help them participate to their fullest). Attempt to obtain a group consensus before adopting them as the official “social contract” of the group. Useful guidelines include the following (Bonner Curriculum, 2009; Hardiman, Jackson, & Griffin, 2007): Respect each viewpoint, opinion, and experience. Use “I” statements – avoid speaking in generalities. The conversations in the class are confidential (do not share information outside of class). Set own boundaries for sharing. Share air time. Listen respectfully. No blaming or scapegoating. Focus on own learning. Reference to PCC Student Rights and Responsibilities: http://www.pcc.edu/about/policy/student­rights/student­rights.pdf DEFINING THE CONCEPTS (see Appendix A for specific exercise) An active “toolkit” of terminology helps support the ongoing dialogue, questioning, and understanding about issues of homophobia and transphobia. Clear definitions also provide a context and platform for discussion. Homophobia: a psychological term originally developed by Weinberg (1973) to define an irrational hatred, anxiety, and or fear of homosexuality.

It upheld a state law—reversing an appeals court ruling—that requires abortion providers to bury or cremate fetal remains. It also refused to take up a challenge to a block of the state law that would prevent women from obtaining abortions based on the gender, race or a potential diagnosis of Down syndrome of the fetus. “We’re pleased that they did rule in favor of one part of it— recognizing the dignity of the fetus and proper disposal is important part of the sacredness of life—and disappointed, of course, that [the court] is not dealing Glenn Tebbe with the question of abortion based on sex, race or disability,” said Glenn Tebbe, executive director of the Indiana Catholic Conference, the public policy arm of the At left, Jennifer Brandon poses in front of fog-enshrouded Chartres Cathedral state’s bishops. in France.

  • ABSTRACT AMOLA, OLUWAKEMI. the Effects of Internalized Homophobia on HIV Risk Behaviors Among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men
    ABSTRACT AMOLA, OLUWAKEMI. The Effects of Internalized Homophobia on HIV Risk Behaviors among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men. (Under the direction of Dr. Marc Grimmett). Background: African Americans, compared to other racial groups in the United States, have the highest HIV prevalence, the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS, the highest HIV mortality, and the greatest number of years of potential life lost. Although all segments of Black communities have been significantly impacted by this epidemic, Black men who have sex with men have disproportionately experienced the negative consequences. Internalized homophobia is a contributing factor to HIV infection and transmission in Black men who have sex with men. It is imperative to assess internalized homophobia in Black men who have sex with men in order to analyze the effects of internalized homophobia on HIV risk behaviors in order to adequately inform counseling interventions. Methods: A quantitative approach was utilized to study the effects of internalized homophobia on mental health and HIV risk behaviors in a sample of Black MSM. The variables of interest were explored with a Web-based survey design. A convenience sample of 202 Black men, who reported sex with a male in the prior 12 months, were recruited via the Internet. Participants ranged in age from eighteen to sixty-five. Results: The results revealed a direct relationship between age and religiosity and internalized homophobia and no significant relationship between relationship status and internalized homophobia. Participants who were HIV positive or were unaware of their status scored significantly higher on internalized homophobia than those who were HIV negative.

    STUDY The Alawite Dilemma in Homs Survival, Solidarity and the Making of a Community AZIZ NAKKASH March 2013 n There are many ways of understanding Alawite identity in Syria. Geography and regionalism are critical to an individual’s experience of being Alawite. n The notion of an »Alawite community« identified as such by its own members has increased with the crisis which started in March 2011, and the growth of this self- identification has been the result of or in reaction to the conflict. n Using its security apparatus, the regime has implicated the Alawites of Homs in the conflict through aggressive militarization of the community. n The Alawite community from the Homs area does not perceive itself as being well- connected to the regime, but rather fears for its survival.
