Oxford | Greece | Northern Ireland—Two workshop sessions and new trauma-sensitivity training.

Over sixty of us gathered at the University of Oxford in July and August 2022 to enjoy an extraordinarily successful conjunction of training, travel, and community. We led two intensive week-long sessions at St. Catherine’s College and Merton College, followed by on-site women’s narrative work in Greece and Northern Ireland. The Global Women’s Narratives Project convened a new editorial team of ten Oxford graduate and undergraduate students in June, who were joined in July by new interns from the Albright Institute at Wellesley College and a handful of our long-term editors from various institutions. We are inspired by each of you and your commitment to the work at hand.

All workshops include training for our Global Women's Narratives Project with themes of religion, war and peace, health, identity, gendered violence, and life's work. We explored the agency of women—how they participate in their conflicts—and the role of inter-generational trauma in intractable conflicts across time.

Workshop participants receive our GWNP Duty of Care training in trauma-sensitive narrative and interviewing techniques initially created by with Lumiere Health International—a nonprofit focused on clinical psychology, refugee asylum, and human rights interviews. Duty of Care Training is required before interviewing women for the Global Women’s Narratives Project.
