Abstract
To mark the 20th anniversary of the repeal of Section 28, the ‘Section 28 and Its Afterlives’ project organised a series of creative workshops with LGBTQ+ staff, students, and community members across South West England. These workshops offered a space to reflect on Section 28 and its legacies, engaging with this challenging period of recent LGBTQ+ history in a hands-on, empowering way using collage to create personal, subversive, and emotional responses to a range of historical material. This article reflects on collage as a queer creative health praxis of subversion and resistance that: (1) produces relational encounters, (2) operates in a care-full way, and (3) involves non-linear temporalities and transformations. Collage in this context is a mode of historical enquiry, inviting reflections on the echoes of the past, present, and future; multiple spatialities and temporalities; and the generative, transformative potential of discomfort.

Crucial to this process is how this 'silence' is transformed into learning. This study reveals that the alms-round, through the repeated practices of...

Cancer is often viewed as a spectacular event, a “state of exception,” which overshadows its impact on the mundane realities of professional life, particularly academic work.

Abstract The process of working through trauma has been as thoroughly delineated as the psychosomatic condition it intends to resolve, that is, as a three-step process traumatized individuals need to actively and consciously engage with in order to heal. If this is not carried out, the subject remains trapped in a trau...
