This paper explores the transformative potential of feminist research-creation through the lens of krisis and collaborative world-building, positioning research-creation as both a method and an ethic of care. Revisiting the ancient Greek concept of krisis—a moment of judgment and discernment—as a framework for inquiry, the author contrasts her prior scholarly work embedded in traditional frameworks of critique, often rooted in metaphors of violence, with the reparative methodologies developed through her work with the Decameron Collective. Over four years of iterative collaboration, the Collective produced award-winning multimodal digital projects Decameron 2.0 and Memory Eternal, which use storytelling, co-creation, and curation to respond creatively to crises from the pandemic to climate change. This paper argues that research co-creation can redefine krisis as a site of generative potential, where making and theorizing intertwine to produce new forms of knowledge and connection. By centering relationality, materiality, and feminist ethics, the Collective’s work moves beyond solitary modes of inquiry to establish a collaborative, care-driven practice. Situating research-creation within philosophical traditions of theoria and contemporary feminist thought, the paper highlights a number of ways such collaborative creation and curation can sustain communities, foster epistemological innovation, and offer reparative responses to crises. The paper ultimately positions research co-creation and co-authorship integrating storytelling, digital design, and collective reflection in slow scholarship as a vital methodology for navigating complex global challenges and reimagining the role of scholarship in a world facing ongoing crises.

Objectives: This article presents the theoretical basis, initial deployment strategies, and resulting preliminary findings of a program implemented in residential treatment centres (RCs) in child welfare. “Program Penguin” aimed to help workers develop trauma-informed attitudes and implement trauma-informed practices, make the workplace more responsive to the well-being of RC workers, and reduce the use of restraints and seclusion among school-aged children in RCs. Methods: Informed by the theories of complex trauma (National Child Traumatic Stress Network Complex Trauma Task Force, 2003), polyvicitimization (Finkelhor et al., 2007), Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC; Blaustein & Kinniburgh, 2018) and Positive Behavioural Interventions and Supports (PBIS; Sugai & Horner, 2002), Program Penguin was developed and deployed using the social innovation approach (Fixsen et al. 2005). The key stages of social innovation will here be used to describe the implementation process. Results: Changes in practices were observed, RC worker attitudes towards trauma-informed care were assessed and showed strong effects between multiple covariables. RC worker support needs were identified, and a reduction in the use of restraints and seclusions was shown. Key strategies towards the development and maintenance of buy-in and meaningful change in practices are also described. Implications: Changes observed at all levels of this implementation suggest Programme Penguin is a promising approach, despite local issues that arose and the challenges inherent to program deployment within child protection settings. It appears a trauma-informed program using positive behavioural approaches and leveraging existing organizational strengths may impact intervention strategies, worker attitudes, and the use of restraints and seclusions against children in RCs.

In this paper we share the story of our participatory action research project to create a lunchtime program to support elementary school students in building reciprocal relationships with the land, enhancing collective wellness. An emergent pond that suddenly dried up due to unseasonably warm temperatures, leaving tadpoles stranded, became the focus of much of our learning. The children worked tirelessly to restore the pond and care for the tadpoles. Through this research, we learned how impactful environmental education can be when it is guided by love (verses logic), involves thinking with (rather than thinking about) more-than-human kin, and when children actively participate in knowledge creation and mobilization through digital storytelling. Our study illustrates how action-research serves as a generative approach to participatory planetary health, inspiring both individual and collective action to address the multifaceted environmental crisis.

Objectives: The current study’s objectives were to 1) determine if sexually abused youth in child protective agencies (CPA) were given more psychiatric diagnoses and exhibited more comorbidity than youth from the general population, 2) examine the comorbidity profiles of sexually abused youth over 10 years of medical consultations and hospitalizations. Method: Diagnoses of 882 youth with a substantiated sexual abuse report between 2001 and 2010 at a participating CPA were compared to those of 882 matched controls (n = 1764). Results: Results of generalized linear mixed models showed that sexually abused youth presented higher rates of all diagnostic categories and were up to four times more likely to present comorbid diagnoses. Latent class analyses among abused youth revealed four different comorbidity profiles; two more severe groups named complex trauma (11%) and dissociation (14%); and two less severe groups named depression (10%) and low or no comorbidity/resilience (65%). Youth with more cumulative maltreatment and greater number of years of data following CSA report were more at risk of presenting a comorbidity profile, while females were more likely to present a depression profile. Profiles of youth in the highest comorbidity class were similar to what is defined as complex trauma or complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Implications: Sexually abused youth's varied profiles warrant varied interventions. Integrated trauma informed interventions are needed to address the cumulative maltreatment experienced and the psychiatric comorbidity some youth exhibit.

This article presents the first English translation of any version of Ambrósíus saga og Rósamunda, an Icelandic chapbook translation that survives in 20 manuscripts, the oldest being an abridged version of the narrative in AM 576 b 4to, dated to c. 1700. This abridged and oldest witness is translated here, accompanied by an edition of the early modern Icelandic text. The romance recounts the adventures of the young merchant Ambrosius, his bride Rosamunda, and his friend Marsilius, and includes motifs that circulated widely in pre-modern European literature such as the pound of flesh motif and Whittington’s cat. The text was very likely translated into Icelandic from aDanish chapbook in the latter half of the seventeenth century.

Globally, not just in the case of Singapore, which is the focus of this paper, migrant care workers are a devalued and unappreciated workforce. Long before the pandemic, issues of migrant rights and care shortages were major topics of concern for feminist adult education and care work scholars, who advocate for the importance of critical hope and the transformative potential of imaginations. As human communication pivots online, physical face-to-face encounters dwindle while digital solidarities thrive. In this hybrid scenario, I narrate the structurally oppressive circumstances of live-in employment alongside an online (Facebook) support group that asserts its members’ rights to receive, not simply provide, care. For my migrant worker activist research participants, care and digital activism are mutually interactive social processes that challenge Singapore society’s dominant market mentality in the educational, learning, and socialization practices of family care. Power asymmetries often prevent migrant worker activists such as foreign “maids,” as they are often disparagingly called in the local parlance, from mobilizing their transformative feminist imaginations into policy change. Based on my findings, I call for a reciprocal approach to reconfiguring care ethics and practice that centres migrant perspectives. I invite colleagues to join me in storytelling about resilient groups and individuals who embrace the imaginative power of critical hope to rewrite the status quo of public knowledge.

Objectives: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are related to the development of a range of mental health problems and risky behaviors. Generally, adolescents who experienced a greater number of ACEs have been found to be at increased risk of substance use behaviors. This study investigated the association between ACEs and substance use (i.e., cigarette smoking, binge drinking, and cannabis use) as mediated by perceptions of harm and perceived peer and parental attitudes towards each substance. Methods: A survey was completed by 6,304 students aged 12 to 18 (M = 14.75, SD = 1.76) in Wood County, Ohio, assessing ACEs, substance use behaviors, perceptions of harm and perceived peer and parental attitudes towards each substance. Mediation models controlling for age and gender were conducted for each substance use behavior including perceptions of harm and perceived peer and parental attitudes specific to each substance. Results: Controlling for age and gender, perceptions of harm and peer attitudes towards binge drinking partially mediated the relationship between ACEs and past month binge-drinking. For past month cannabis and cigarette smoking, peer and parental attitudes, but not perceptions of harm, partially mediated the relationship between ACEs and past month engagement in these substances. Implications: Greater perceptions of harm and negative attitudes by parents or peers may be protective against substance use behaviors among youth that have experienced ACEs. Early interventions focusing on increasing perceptions of harm along with promoting negative parental and peer attitudes towards substance use could decrease rates of use among those who experienced ACEs.
