Abstract

This lecture examines how rehumanising research on violence and trauma demands an ethic of care, justice and embodied humanity. Drawing on more than two decades of research on gendered violence, it reflects on ethics, epistemic justice, and the intimate entanglements between harm, hurt, and possibility.
