Global Concerns, Local and Individual Perspectives: Voices of Indigenous, Immigrant, and International Women Global Concerns include those experiences that--although unique across individual women and their cultures-- affect all women, such as violence, our bodies and sexualities, motherhood and parenting, work, and aging. Local and Individual Perspectives reminds us that our global concerns vary across the host of individual and cultural differences that characterize our social identities. It encourages us to explore our experiences of privilege and power as well as oppression and colonization. We welcome contributions that express the full range of issues typically of interest to AWP scholars, practitioners, and activists; and we especially invite a focus on indigenous, immigrant, and international women’s concerns. Please join us for our outstanding preconference workshops, exciting conference programs, invited science symposia, entertainment, author book signing, social hours, and our outstanding keynote speakers: Ouyporn Khuankaew, Thai feminist activist and Buddhist woman living in the global South, who works with women affected by violence and trauma.

Using a feminist liberation workshop methodology emphasizing and centering the “wisdom” and experiences of the (cont.) AWP Newsletter Page 7 Winter 2013 2013 CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS (cont.) participants, we will look more deeply into power, privilege, and oppression within a global context. Through our explorations, we will discover ways to create power-sharing transcultural partnerships in research, practice, and activist projects. Practicing mindfully and with a critical consciousness will be emphasized; thus participants will be invited to engage in mindfulness exercises and activities throughout the workshop. The 16-step Empowerment Approach for Overcoming Trauma and Addiction Charlotte Sophia Kasl - Many Roads, One Journey Consulting The 16-step empowerment approach is holistic, flexible, socially conscious, and based on the belief that healing occurs through love, not fear; empowerment, not deflation; and finding one’s voice. This developmental model addresses established markers for overcoming trauma, addiction, and depression. A video of women from 16-step groups will be shown. Promoting Workplace Climate Change and Reconciling the Gaps Between Workplace Success Factors and Personal Identity Stacie Furst-Holloway, Rachel W. Kallen, Cynthia Cominsky, & Mary Jean Amon University of Cincinnati To lead successful careers, women must address numerous demands in the workplace. This workshop is designed to help women identify success factors within their careers and how these align with their personal identities. Participants engage in activities in order to develop action plans for professional branding and addressing workplace climate. Morning Workshops Carol Gilligan’s Listening Guide Method Anne Dilenschneider - Sioux Falls Psychological Services In this workshop, participants will learn Carol Gilligan’s voice-centered, relational method, The Listening Guide Method of Psychological Inquiry. This four-step process offers clinicians new ways to hear what is being said “between the lines,” ways that reveal the unconscious dynamics of psyche within women’s accounts of their lived experience.

Heal Yourself, Change the World! A Self-Care Workshop for Feminist Activists and Healers LeLaina Romero - The Meeting Point This workshop is for activists and healers- people who work for social justice and change. Through relational-cultural and mind/body/spirit integrated lenses, we will create a space to re-imagine self- and community care, while acknowledging the structural barriers and systems we are working to change.

AWP Newsletter Page 9 Winter 2013 2013 CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS (cont.) Indigenity. We consider the definitions and significance of feminisms for Native nations and communities in the twenty-first century and then move to two cases studies that focus on the history and formations of tribal nations as heteronormative patriarchies. This workshop includes an introduction to Indigenous queer theorizing. We also will reflect upon the usefulness of Indigenous feminisms for everyone. The Be Present Empowerment Model®: Laying the Foundations for a Socially Just Global Community Clare G. Holzman & Lillie P. Allen - Be Present, Inc. This experiential, interactive workshop introduces the Be Present Empowerment Model®, which provides tools for examining how we have been shaped by the racist, classist, and other oppressive systems within which we live.

Interactive Sociodrama: Fostering Difficult Dialogues to Promote Inclusion Karen Cone-Uemura - University of Utah Even in an organization such as AWP, which strives to promote inclusion and space for all voices to be heard, disagreement can arise due to natural diversity. Disagreement, not necessarily destructive, can actually be enriching through effective dialogue. This experiential workshop introduces Interactive Sociodrama as a vehicle for promoting difficult dialogues. Critical Therapy with Domestic Violence and Gender-based Violence Survivors Silvia M. Dutchevici - Critical Therapy Center This workshop will discuss race, class, and gender in the counseling hour with gender based violence survivors. We will introduce the theory of critical therapy.

FIVE FREE THINGS TO DO IN SALT LAKE CITY (adapted from AP Free-Access Online Article, 2013) 1. CITY CREEK CENTER Built for a reported $1.6 billion in cash by the Mormon church to revitalize downtown Salt Lake City, it's the country's most modern outdoor shopping plaza. It has a trout stream meandering through the center and retractable roofs that keep the place warm during winter. Just don't call it a "mall," a sacrilege to the architects. Within walking distance of AWP Conference Hotel (1 block away). For more information see: http://shopcitycreekcenter.com/ 2. TEMPLE SQUARE Utah's most-visited landmark, the granite-towered Temple Square invokes the mystery of Mormonism. The 35-acre square is the worldwide headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and features the church's sacred temple, one of the world's largest genealogy libraries and spectacular gardens. The square is open every day of the year from 9 a.m.9 p.m., and free tours are available in 30 different languages. Female church missionaries are happy to answer any questions. For more information see: http:// www.visittemplesquare.com/ (cont.) AWP Newsletter Page 12 Winter 2013 Salt Lake Excitement 3. DOWNTOWN LIGHT RAIL Built with the 2002 Winter Olympics in mind, Salt Lake City's light-rail network is free for passengers as it weaves through downtown. Riders can get to and from major attractions such as Temple Square, City Creek Center, Salt Lake City Library, Energy Solutions Arena and the Gateway for free. An extension leading to the airport is expected to open this spring, but trips on that section will cost riders. The last trains run anywhere from 11:30 to midnight Monday through Saturday and up till about 9 p.m. on Sundays. For more information see: http://www.downtownlightrail.com/light-rail/utah/ default.aspx 4. UTAH MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART Recently ranked Utah's best museum, it's a fourtime recipient of funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation. The museum is now featuring works by up-and-coming Utah artists Siren Bliss and Megan Geckler, and other exhibits by Jonathan Horowitz. For more information see: http://www.utahmoca.org/ (cont.) AWP Newsletter Page 13 Winter 2013 Salt Lake Excitement 5. SALT LAKE CITY LIBRARY Making this library more than a place to read was the goal of renowned architect Moshe Safdie. He designed a six-story crescent of concrete and glass with vaulted ceilings is a place that invites people to linger. It has a cafe, shops, high-speed Internet connections, art exhibits that turn over every six weeks, film lectures and occasional live music. The $65 million building, with a roller-coaster look, has a 360-degree view of the city and mountains and a rooftop garden. A curving ramp — the library's signature outdoor feature — winds up to the garden. For more information see: http:// www.slcpl.lib.ut.us/ —————————————————————— BRING YOUR SKIS AND SNOW BOARDS!

I am very excited about the focus on indigenous, immigrant, and international women and I look forward to hearing about current research and global initiatives using a feminist lens. This theme fits nicely with the call from our members to further expand AWP’s inclusiveness of these important, yet marginalized groups of feminists. I encourage you to urge your colleagues who are interested in research, practice and activism on/by indigenous, immigrant and international women to attend the conference. Hopefully they will find enough nourishment to consider joining AWP. It is our increasing inclusiveness that further enriches our worth and relevance as an organization. As discussed in the prior newsletter, the Implementation Collective continues to work on the strategic plan. Our goal is to submit the full plan to AWP members in advance of the conference. We will then present the highlights of the plan at a strategic planning session during the conference to solicit your feedback. We will also include the full proposed strategic plan in the newsletter following the conference for those who are unable to attend. We hope through these myriad ways to include as much of the membership as possible to ensure everyone has an opportunity to contribute to this important endeavor. I am really excited about seeing you all again in Salt Lake City for my annual dose of Vitamin F. Since our beloved conference coordinators, Sue and Donna are hosting their third conference, I know we are in for a fantastic time — see you in March! In Sisterhood, ~ NINA AWP Newsletter Page 15 Winter 2013 From the Editor By Kathy McCloskey As I contemplated what to write in this space, I knew I wanted something that captured the spirit of this year‘s AWP Conference—something that included a feminist focus on International, Indigenous, and Immigrant issues worldwide. For us here in the United States, we all too often forget our own history of violent colonization and wholesale genocide, as well as continuing structural discrimination both at home and abroad. So on a particular Monday in January, I was absolutely amazed to hear the commander in chief of the largest military in the world speak of truth and reconciliation, issue a call for worldwide justice, and recognize enduring efforts to secure equality for women and other disadvantaged groups. I think it fitting that his words be allowed to underscore the importance of what we do here at AWP, both globally and locally: “We will support democracy from Asia to Africa; from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom...because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice. We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth. It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began....” - Barack Hussein Obama, Presidential Inaugural Address, Jan 21, 2013 SEE YOU IN SALT LAKE! AWP Newsletter Page 16 Winter 2013 STUDENT CAUCUS AT SALT LAKE! Students, Student Advisors, Professors, and Supervisors: Hello from the AWP staffer/regional coordinator.

AWP has agreed to sponsor the ―Selling Sickness‖ conference that our fantastic colleague, Leonore Tiefer, has planned. As a co-sponsor, AWP has a free space in the Good News Exhibit Hall! First, there was the 2006 Inaugural Congress on Disease Mongering in Australia which marked a watershed in networking among health care reformers and drug industry critics. Then, the 2010 Selling Sickness conference in Amsterdam expanded the network and updated the work. Now, Selling Sickness 2013: People before Profits is coming to Washington, DC in February, 2013 to continue the challenge and the international networking. This conference will bring together academic medical reformers, consumer activists, and health journalists to examine the current scope of disease mongering and to develop strategies and coalitions for change. Topics will include misleading marketing, journalistic standards, over-treatment, over-diagnosis, whistleblowers, new roles for advocates, pharmacovigilance, clinical trials, activist narratives, new conflict of interest areas, evidence-based screening, igniting citizen outrage, and more. We will have plenary roundtables, panels, workshops, a unique Good News Exhibit Hall, and BOOKTIVISM training. Students and young activists are welcome!

Jeanne was one of the fiercest fighters in the battle for acceptance and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. It is truly humbling to imagine in 1972 - just 40 years ago - a simple schoolteacher started this movement of family and ally support, without benefit of any of the technology that today makes a grassroots movement so easy to organize. No Internet. No cellphones. Just a deep love for her son and a sign reading ―Parents of Gays: Unite in Support for Our Children.‖ Jeanne Manford This simple and powerful message of love and acceptance from one person resonated so strongly it was heard by millions of people worldwide and led to the founding of PFLAG, an organization with more than 350 chapters across the U.S. and 200,000 members and supporters, and the creation of similar organizations across the globe. Jeanne‘s work was called ―the story of America…of ordinary citizens organizing, agitating, educating for change, of hope stronger than hate, of love more powerful than any insult or injury,‖ in a speech by President Barack Obama in 2009. All of us - people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight allies alike - owe Jeanne our gratitude. We are all beneficiaries of her courage. Jeanne Manford proved the power of a single person to transform the world. She paved the way for us to speak out for what is right, uniting the unique parent, family, and ally voice with the voice of LGBT people everywhere. - From PFLAG National Executive Director, Jody Huckaby (online free-access announcement) AWP Newsletter Page 19 Winter 2013 AWP Conference Shabbat Celebration Strickland-Daniel Distinguished Mentoring Award Call for Nominations Nominations must be submitted by Friday, April 19, 2013.
