ACEs and the social sciences

I'd like to follow this and am open to how I might be able to be involved.

Very interested. Particularly how traditional cultures have healed before we learned about trauma.

ACEs and social sciences - intentionally conceptualized to be inclusive of several disciplines - sounds very interesting. This group would offer a landing spot for folks on AC with similar interests. Sounds intriguing! And, timely!  I look forward to seeing how this evolves (pun intended!). Thank you for utilizing AC to find others with shared interests. Karen

I'm interested  Dennis. Starting out as a clinical social worker and later as a psychologist I have always been interested in how culture and society shapes  people and how people shape society and culture. Not doing direct clinical work now but continuing research in cultural and social change. Tracing the development of structural dysfunction and structural violence ( various forms of oppression) and remedies. We could set up a ACEs and the social sciences community here.

By the way I recently came across a new text compiling  research on violence (  includes a definition of violence which covers a range of structural forms)

Lets Do It

Hi there. I'm a phd student in educational technology and my research is on trauma-informed education. I'd be really interested in being involved. If you're interested in including education, please let me know.
