1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The period 2016–2017 was a transitional year for the IGDS, St Augustine Campus Unit. Over the previous three years, three Heads led the Unit for one year each: Professor Valerie Youssef (2013-14), Professor Patricia Mohammed (2014-15), and Professor Paula Morgan (2015-16). Thus, this was the first year in which a Head was appointed for a three-year term. Focus was therefore on operationalizing the IGDS vision and mission, establishing a flow into and out of the teaching programmes, identifying how IGDS could increase its brand visibility and impact, team-building, and making generational mentorship an explicit part of IGDS’ way of working.

The SAU had also had three Senior Administrative Assistants over this period, and had undergone other staff changes to the post of Graduate Studies Coordinator, IGDS, SAU as well as Assistant to the Graduate Studies Coordinator, IGDS SAU. The AA who had been in the position from January 2016 retired and took leave at the end of April 2017.

At the end of April, a new Acting AA was therefore appointed, who is likely to act in the post for a number of years. This has meant that it is only at this time that both a long-term Head and AA have begun to learn and plan in the job, along with a long- term Graduate Studies Coordinator, IGDS, and administrative support to her. Professor Patricia Mohammed remains in her post as Coordinator of Graduate Studies and Research on the St. Augustine Campus. The SAU therefore remains transitioning as staff and students Research Assistants get acclimatized to the calendar of responsibilities, protocols and university expectations, and the establishment of stable team leadership.

In order to operationalize the IGDS’ vision and mission, the core themes that would guide SAU’s next three years were defined. These are: 1. Agro-Ecology, Conservation and the Environment 2. Gender-Based Violence 3. Gender, Communication, Language and Social Media 4. Gender and Health 5. Gender, Politics and Leadership 6. Gender, Sexualities, Ethnicity, Race, Class and Citizenship 7. Gender and Visual Culture 8. Masculinity and Men’s Movement Building 9. Making of Caribbean Feminisms 10. Political Economy and Gender-Sensitive Policy Making 11. Women, Gender and Development

2 Second, a flow through the Unit was envisioned. This includes: 1. IGDS Reach: This is an annual, one week, post-CAPE feminist camp for young activists intended to begin feminist consciousness raising and increase awareness of gender prior to students enrolling at UWI 2. IGDS Next: This refers to workshops done 5th and 6th forms which build on the popular actions completed in Introduction to Women’s Studies and Men and Masculinities in the Caribbean. Again, this is intended to begin feminist consciousness raising and increase awareness of gender prior to students enrolling at UWI, but will be led by undergraduate students 3. IGDS Ignite: This is our undergraduate mentorship programme, involving events, fieldtrips and other activities 4. IGDS CV+: This is our graduate development strategy aimed at grounding SAU graduate students in women’s leadership in regional revolutionary movements in Haiti, Cuba and Grenada, facilitating regional travel to one of these countries as part of this grounding (Venture), increasing public engagement and media skills (Voice), increasing training for consultancies (Capacity). In other words, our goal is to increase job skills while challenging a neo-liberal approach to doing so. 5. IGDS Impact: This is an explicit focus on identifying the impact of our research and outreach, and that of our graduate students, for example by building in a summary of research impact into graduate students’ final output – this is to be published in a bi-annual booklet titled IGDS Impact. It also involves building our brand visibility, particularly with our #sparkfeminism Instagram and poster outreach, T-shirts and workshops 6. IGDS Gold: This refers to building our relationship with our alumni 7. IGDS Future Fund: Fundraising for future needs along with our alumni

3 Third, a collaboratively formed Work plan was used to guide work throughout the year. This is a model that will be reproduced so that all staff and students know what the work plan for an academic year looks like before it begins. Staff meetings were held three times a semester, and a team-building retreat was held at the end of the academic year. The final staff meeting for the year finalized the work plan for the year and sought to build on the retreat in order to orient 2017-18 staff meetings around team-building, generational empowerment, leadership defined by active listening and attention to personality strengths and areas for growth, and staff accountability to each other.

Fourth, funds were successfully sought from the Association of Commonwealth Universities for the workshop, Strengthening Cross-Faculty Collaboration to Advance Gender Equity. Held in April 2017, this workshop included academic and administrative staff from all the faculties as well as Student Services and covered four main themes: (i) the history of the IGDS at The UWI, (ii) gender equity in the University, (iii) the research areas and projects the IGDS leads, and (iv) sharing knowledge about the best practices on raising gender consciousness in teaching, administration and outreach. Recommendations arising from the workshop will guide the SAU’s mainstreaming and enrollment strategy over the upcoming academic year. This is particularly important given declining enrollment in the St. Augustine Campus, particularly in the Social Sciences and Humanities. In this academic year, the enrollment strategy contributed to increases in enrollment in four courses, though these were met with declining numbers in five courses.

The major research award this year was granted to Principal Investigator, Dr. Angelique Nixon, for the project, “A Sexual Culture of Justice: Strengthening LGBTQI & GBV Partnerships, Capacity & Efficacy to Promote & Protect Rights in Trinidad and Tobago”. The Project brought in €166,000.00 from the European Commission, and is being implemented in partnership with six Co-Applicants representing LGBTI and feminist civil society organisations (CAISO: Sex and Gender Justice, Friends For Life, I Am One Trinidad & Tobago, The Silver Lining Foundation, WOMANTRA, and Women’s Caucus of Trinidad & Tobago). The Project started in April 2017 and will end in March 2020.

IGDS was also a co-applicant in the award of another European Commission grant for CSO capacity-building. This project involves six Civil Society Organisations (United Way Trinidad and Tobago (UWTT), Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI), Women’s Institute for Alternative Development (WINAD), Veni Apwann (VA), Network of NGO’s of Trinidad and Tobago For The Advancement of Women (Network) and Environment Tobago as co-applicants. The objective is to catalyst transformation to a more environmentally sustainable, socially just, inclusive, accountable and resilient model of development and governance through supporting the effective involvement of civil society organisations (CSOs) in implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda in Trinidad and 4 Tobago (T&T), and the project began in April 2017 and concludes in March 2020. The IGDS, SAU will be using this collaboration to support development and roll out of the IGDS Gender Justice Scorecard.

Substantial progress was made on the Research Development Impact Fund project “Work/Life Balance and Ageing in Trinidad: Studying the Productivity and Wellbeing of Working Men and Women” including establishment of a Memorandum of Understanding between The UWI and the Societe D'economie Mixte D'amenagement De La Ville Du Lamentin/Company of Mixed Economy of Management (SEMAVIL) and the establishment of corporate partnerships with T&TEC and the National Insurance Board of Trinidad and Tobago (NIBTT).

The Institute has continued to seek opportunity for collaborative and funded research. In addition to sitting on the Research Steering Committee for a GBV national prevalence survey, the IGDS also undertook a qualitative study of IPV funded by UN Women and intended to complement the survey.

Two edited collections were published, which together include chapters by all academic and senior professional staff of the SAU: • Negotiating Gender, Policy and Politics: Feminist Strategies, Masculinist Resistances and the Possibilities for Transformation in the Caribbean, edited by Gabrielle Jamela Hosein and Jane Parpart. New York: Rowman and Littlefield. • Indo-Caribbean Feminist Thought Genealogies, Theories, Enactments. Edited by Gabrielle Hosein and Lisa Outar. Palgrave Macmillian.

In terms of publications aimed at wider engagement, IGDS staff also published non- peer reviewed articles in UWI Today, The Conversation – Global, teleSUR the Guardian Newspaper, Stabroek News, and the UWI Alumni magazine.

This year’s major conference was the Indigenous Geographies and Caribbean Feminisms: Common Struggles Against Capitalism Symposium. This initiative, which will lead to a co-edited collection by Gabrielle Hosein and Levi Gahman, from the Department of Geography in the Faculty of Food and Agriculture, brought together scholars and Indigenous women activists from Belize, Suriname, Guyana, Dominica, Trinidad and St. Vincent.

In addition, the SAU played a key role in coordinating the Life in Leggings Solidarity march and rally held on March 11, 2017. Along with four days of gender- consciousness-raising statements run on I95.5 radio, and those statements being distributed on 500 flags in the march, staff of the IGDS presented at a number of fora for International Women’s Day 2017.

5 Finally, as part of continuing the Break the Silence: End Child Sexual Abuse Campaign, 10 teachers from eight secondary schools were trained in CSA facilitation toward the creation of posters, and a teacher tool kit was produced.

The Institute has been consistent in its efforts to utilize graduate students as part-time tutors, research assistants and for administrative support in various projects, events and activities. IGDS SAU may well be unique in The UWI in terms of training graduate students who are also activists and are effectively representing the Institute in public and media fora. This year, four graduate students have worked with the SAU on the Caribbean Review of Gender Studies, IGDS Ignite and men’s movement building, and outreach.

The Institute has consolidated its archives, digitizing material spanning 1993 to present, previously stored on audio tapes, floppy discs, cds and DVDs. The entire collection of digital data is stored in a central Synology storage facility with back up. This digitizing extends beyond the IGDS offices, to the Alma Jordan Library where the Institute now has its own very large Synology drive. This drive will host archived material for the purpose of research, and that will be made available through the UWISpace online platform, and thus accessible across all three Campuses as well as online anywhere. The Institute continues to expand its documentation centre which offers valuable services to the IGDS staff, graduate students and others.

Despite further expected cuts to the university’s budget, IGDS remains hopeful that we can leverage our UWI profile and national brand visibility to win support and financial backing necessary to emerge stronger.

RESOURCE MOBILIZATION AND FUNDRAISING

Following financial cuts at the UWI, St. Augustine Campus, all staff took on increased teaching loads. This year, Dr. Hosein taught two courses in both semesters ; Dr. Nixon taught two courses in semester I and four courses in semester II; Dr. Barratt taught three courses in semester I and two courses in semester II.

Nonetheless, funds were successfully won amounting to: 1. Work/Life Balance and Aging: 18,000 TTD 2. Sexual Culture of Justice: 166 000 EU 3. Qualitative Study on Gender-Based Violence: 36 000 USD 4. Association of Commonwealth Universities: 1000 GBP 5. Indigenous Geographies and Caribbean Feminisms: 151,100 TTD

With the assistance of the Gender Advisory Board, fundraising included short courses, grant applications, consultancies, sponsorship from the private sector and employment of an OJT (On the Job Training) staff member supported by the government.

6 UPDATE ON QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT AND ACTION PLAN

The Quality Assurance Report informed the Action/Operational Plan (see next page). The Action Plan was also developed based on programming history and challenges faced by the IGDS.

The areas that we have focused on and were successful in achieving gains are: 1. Revision of the Graduate Programme, development of IGDS CV+ approach and preparation of students for proposing the impact of their research in a bi-annual publication, IGDS Impact 2. Increasing some of the undergraduate course offerings with revised and new courses that are appealing to a diverse cross-section of students, and increasing the graduate student cohort; 3. Developing workshops and courses for external partners based on past requests and successful delivery, as well as new areas that stimulate growth possibilities for partnerships with industry and society. Three short courses were offered in Semester 3 of this academic year. 4. Tendering research proposals to gain experience on research proposal writing and successfully bid for new research areas that need gender intervention. IGDS, SAU was part of two collaborative bids for funds. 5. Increasing the level and intensity of outreach activity in a range of formats, especially through our web-based platforms and social networking. This was accomplished with the #sparkfeminism Instagram/poster approach to gender- consciousness raising and brand visibility as well as through organization of the IWD march this year. 6. Implementing clearly articulated and aligned programming, administrative/ management structure and succession planning strategy; and 7. Re-constituting the Gender Advisory Board particularly around support to the IGDS Gender Justice Scorecard

Making of Caribbean Feminisms (MCF)

In 2016-2017, the CAFRA Trinidad archives were loaned to the IGDS and Alma Jordan Library for digitizing. This has been completed and is in the process of being uploaded to UWISpace. The Hazel Brown collection (collected at the time of the Fearless Politics Hazel Brown Conference) has been sorted and will now go to the digitizing department. The Nesta Patrick collection Handed over a few years ago tothe Alma Jordan Library is next in line for sorting and digitizing.

The MCF project, hopes to making material available for research purposes across all three Campuses and globally. One aim is to try to inspire the donation of a collection to the IGDS's in sync with the large activities in each academic year, for example: acquiring collections in relation to symposia or conferences. Certainly scouts and a process needs to be put in place for this to grow.

The MCF is steadily expanding and becoming more visible. It has secured a front page presence on the digital / online archives of the St. Augustine Campus UWISpace. The collection is also housed on and backed up with a Synology digital storage drive (purchased by Prof. Morgan during her tenure as Head of Department) owned by the IGDS but managed by the digitizing department. The accompanying hard copies are housed in West Indiana and Special Collections.

Over the three days in-depth training sessions were conducted on Human Rights, the CEDAW Convention (its principles and obligations in the context of the Human Rights system, and how the conventions should be read and applied). The Committee (CEDAW Champions TT) will continue to meet regularly to review the recommendations from the workshop with the aim of identifying solutions. IGDS lent support by providing rapporteur services (two research assistants and one graduate student) over the three days and a final report.

Work/Life Balance and Ageing Populations Research Project May 1, 2015.

WORKSHOPS / PRESENTATIONS December 9, Gender Based Violence Healing Workshop 2016 in collaboration with Wholeness and Wellness Counselling This workshop used art and poetry to discuss issues of gender based violence – especially for people who have experienced GBV with a focus on women and sexual minorities (LGBTQI & gender non-conforming). Using Black feminist poet Audre Lorde's visionary praxis on the need to transform silence into language and action, this workshop offers space to do just that -- share, transform silence, and create change. Participants were given prompts to create their own responses through writing and/or art focusing on creating awareness, speaking out, healing, and building transformation. December Water Education Manual Review Workshop 13, 2016 This workshop was conceptualized to achieve the following objectives: • To provide a clear plan of action for the dissemination of the Water Manual • To identify key partner organizations in the process • To finalize the content of the Disaster Preparedness module

The inaugural workshop was held on Campus and included 10 teachers from eight secondary schools throughout Trinidad. IGDS plans to engage teachers in Tobago in future years. The purpose of the teacher training workshop is to provide teachers with a comprehensive understanding about the intersection between gender, CSA and high risk behavior that leads to HIV. Coming out of these discussions from the workshop, IGDS has compiled a teacher training toolkit to assist teachers in their classroom advocacy efforts related to gender, CSA and HIV. April 21, 2017 Strengthening Cross-Faculty Collaboration to Advance Gender Equity: An Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) Sponsored Workshop Gender-mainstreaming workshop hosted by the IGDS UWI, St. Augustine and sponsored by the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU). The presenters covered four main themes: (i) the history of the IGDS at The UWI, (ii) gender equity in the University, (iii) the research areas and projects the IGDS leads, and (iv) sharing knowledge about the best practices on raising gender consciousness in teaching, administration and outreach. The format of the workshop was participatory and the contributions of the participants significantly informed the discussions. The purpose of this report is to summarise the main points made by presenters and workshop participants at Strengthening Cross-Faculty Collaboration to Advance Gender Equity. May 22–25, Facilitated Presentations on Child Sexual Abuse 2017 For UNFPA & Ministry of Education The UNFPA and Ministry of Education launched a Health and Family Life Education project which gives specific focus to the development of the sex and sexuality component of the current curriculum. Through some evaluation of the HFLE curriculum, it has been found that teachers, even those who have been trained, still have difficulty relaying sexual content to students. One way of alleviating some of their concerns is through sensitization training, led by specialists in the field. IGDS collaborated on this project by providing facilitation services on the area of child sexual abuse with secondary school teachers across Trinidad and Tobago.

24 INTERNATIONAL MEN’S DAY 2016 “Red Card” Rape Culture Workshop IGDS, The UWI, St. Augustine Campus workshop titled “Red Card” Rape Culture presented men with statements to which they respond with a “red card” in disagreement, “green card” for approval and a “yellow card” for uncertainty or mixed feelings. The statements that the young men responded to were developed around the themes of: • gender beliefs (“There are situations when a girls says no but she means yes.” “Rape will always be there.”); • women blame (“It’s her fault. She was dressed that way” “It is a woman’s responsibility to not get raped.”); • consent (“It’s wrong to lead him on and when he is ready, say “no””); • revenge pornography (“She sent me pics. She should have known I would share it”); and; • the normalisation of sexual violence by males (“Nothing wrong with lyrics from songs like Bedroom Bully.” “Women bring out a part in men that they cannot control.”). This activity gave the men the opportunity to see the diversity of attitudes held by other men. Moreover, recording the scores offered the facilitators the opportunity to see how effective the dialogues were in measuring changing attitudes as the workshop progressed.

44 APPENDIX 3 GLOBAL OUTREACH

Port-au-Prince, Haiti June, 2016 Caribbean Studies Association Conference Dynamic, complex and oftentimes disturbing best describe the impressions of Haiti made by Caribbeanists entering the country to engage in a week of scholarly conversations on Caribbean Global Movements. CSA hosted over 800 scholars, who, motivated by Angela Davis’ keynote address “Freedom is a Constant Struggle”, shared ideas about Caribbean societies within the region and the diaspora and some of the opportunities and persistent challenges that come with movement from space to place. The conversations, which continue beyond the week, were well complimented by the colorful ‘Tap Tap’ trucks, transporting participants in rustic style, along with the display of uniquely Haitian visual art and sculpture along with captivating cultural performances. Haiti was a true homecoming for the CSA, a homecoming to the first land of freedom in the region. ______

Washington DC, November 2016 Organization of the American States Forum on Child, Early and Forced Marriage and Motherhood in the Americas Gabrielle Hosein spoke on a panel in the framework of International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the CIM organized an international forum on Child, Early and Forced Marriage and Motherhood in the Americas, with a view to identifying gaps in our knowledge of these issues and establishing concrete legislative and public policy reform recommendations.

______Mona, Jamaica, January 2017 The conference Beyond Homophobia: Centring LGBT Experiences in the Caribbean aimed to build on the success of the symposium Beyond Homophobia: Exploring Identities and Sexualities in Jamaica held at UWI in October 2015. The 2017 Beyond Homophobia conference followed up with a regional focus and priorities on the lives and experiences of Caribbean LGBTQI people living inside the region. It was a historic conference and significant gathering for The UWI. Dr. Angelique Nixon presented on a roundtable session entitled “Caribbean LGBTQI Being & Living – Moving Beyond Unlivable Narratives” with three co-presenters: Afifa Aza, Colin Robinson, Rosamond S. King, and Tracy Robinson (chair). Overall the roundtable offered an examination of recent Caribbean legal cases and studies of homophobia and transphobia in the region, as well as activism, advocacy, and creative work by Caribbean sexual minorities. Further, we offered differing perspectives and specificity on place and space with attention to the needs of poor and working class Caribbean trans and gender non-conforming people.

45 ______Canberra, Australian, February 2017 The Association for Caribbean Studies Conference was held at the Australian National University. Dr. Nixon was invited by the conference organisers to perform as an artist and writer. I presented a fusion of my feminist creative work titled “Saltwater Trouble” – which includes literary art, performance poetry, and photographs – that works to disrupt silences, write resistance, and create Black queer women loving women spaces.

______Giessen, Germany April 26–29, 2017 “Understanding Local Entanglement of Global Inequalities: Socio-Cultural Transformation and Decolonial Thought” Hosted by Justus-Liebig University, the UWI St. Augustine team (Professor Rhoda Reddock, Dr. Shelene Gomes, Dr. Dillon Kerrigan, Dr. Maarit Forde, Dr. Gabrielle Hosein, Dr. Sue Ann Barratt) joined a conversation with colleagues from Souh Africa, Australia, Europe, Latin America and Turkey on de- colonial thought and the entanglements of inequality from local to global. We evaluated our understandings of activism, global structures, processes, and theory and the open ended questions that remain; our musings coming together to force deeper contemplation as we viewed the graphic and frank telling of the complications of race and ethnicity in the James Baldwin film, I am Not Your Negro. Samuel L. Jackson’s narration of Baldwin’s perspective forcing us to consider why the very necessity for inferiors and superiors. Beyond Intellectual engagement we enjoyed cuisine, scenery and company of colleagues dedicated to disrupting the status quo and achieving social transformation. We left, toasting with beer/wine, great conversation and meeting again in St. Augustine. ______Colombo, Sri Lanka, May 3–9, 2017 3rd World Conference on Women’s Studies “Building Resilience: Dialogue, Collaboration and Partnerships Across Our Differences” Every minute spent in travel and extended jet lag was well worth it to be part of the truly enlightening conversation at the 3rd International Women’s Conference in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Scholars from more than 15 countries, most from South and East Asia, gathered to discuss ongoing issues faced by women across the world, especially in the global south. The Caribbean contingent from the IGDS UWI brought a different perspective, at once Western and decidedly non-Western, impressing upon our hosts our understanding of shared struggles and our maturity of thought that we have inherited from decades of Caribbean feminist activism and scholarship. A vibrant, rich, colourful, productive culture, steeped in the ancient, captivated our hearts; leading us to appreciate with new vigour the fact that with every story told there are multiple alternative narratives.
