My name is Gina Snooks; I am a doctoral student in Women’s Studies and Feminist Research at Western University in London, Ontario. I am also a photographer with experience making portraits with women to explore subjectivity, trauma and healing through the use of photography. I am also a practicing Pagan with connections in various communities in Canada and online. I am inviting Pagan women and Pagan gender variant persons (over the age of 18) to participate in my doctoral research project on trauma and healing. This study uses multimodal storytelling — visual (auto/biographical photography) and oral (interviews) to examine Pagan women and/or Pagan gender variant persons’ experiences of trauma and healing. I propose that photography offers a meaningful way to explore difficult and/or traumatic experiences. My research is rooted in the premise that sharing aspects of one’s lived realities through storytelling can be empowering, cathartic and healing for some people because stories help us to make sense of the effects of trauma. I am also interested in what personal experience narratives can reveal about broader topics such as Pagan spirituality and holistic healing practices. My work is guided by the aim that participants are co-creators of knowledge and that participants are the experts on their own experiences. Thus, emphasis is on self-determination and participants are the drivers of this study. Participants are not asked to disclose specific details about their trauma but are, instead, asked to share how those experiences have affected their sense of self and their lives. Participants are invited to share their stories in their own words and through portraits they create and choose to share. For more information and/or to participate please contact Gina Snooks at gsnooks@uwo.ca or send me, Gina Snooks, a private message via Facebook. Please do not respond to this thread. I would be happy to discuss my research project and my role in facilitating this project with you in further detail.
