Dr. Suh will discuss her recently completed project Finding Safety in the Body: Trauma-Informed Mindfulness Practice that examines trauma-informed mindfulness practice for survivors of trauma with a particular emphasis on embodied difference or the whole person. While trauma-informed mindfulness addresses multiple manifestations and symptoms associated with individual experiences of sexual abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, and trauma associated with large scale events such as war and natural disaster, there is scant discussion, analysis, and resource directed toward healing and resilience from an intersectional perspective. Mindfulness and contemplative practices for healing trauma often overlook the very fact of intersectionality -- Suh argues in an upcoming article that careful attention is required to offer survivors healing modalities that attend to their intersectional lives.
