Giving Voice to the Unheard: Words from Women Speaking Truth to Stigma
Released on Dec. 4th, 2024, this paper written by IWL's Spring 2024 Faculty Fellows examines the work of Drs. Sabirat Rubya, Daniel Collette, and Alie Kriofske Mainella, and how hearing/amplyifying the voices of those who go unheard help dismantle negative stigmas.
Research and Storytelling as Gendered Resistance
This research paper, written by IWL's Fall 2023 Faculty Fellows, reviews the work of Drs. Heather Hlavka, Jennifer Vanderheyden, and Jessica Zemlak and how storytelling provides essential context to the lived experiences of people—"past and present—as ways to both challenge and amplify the experiences of those who have been doubted, denied, or silenced through time."
