Title: How Did We Get Here? Examining What We Think We Know about the Reduction and Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence

Panel Abstract:
This panel examines negotiations of responsibility paying particular attention to social, personal and corporate responses. Justine Chapman provides an interdisciplinary conceptual exploration of responsibility and solidarity with respect to instances of social movements? solidarity work in the interest of social justice; whereby, solidarity and solidaristic action simultaneously constitute a form of responsibility for the other, serving to move us toward a solidaristic understanding of responsibility. Deborah Conners examines the ways in which feminist optimism regarding our ability to eliminate intimate partner violence has not (yet) been fulfilled. Deborah draws on the work of Bourdieusian feminists to illuminate opportunities for forward movement. Konstantin Petoukhov employs Nancy Fraser?s tripartite theory of justice to evaluate the transformative potential of the Canadian Federal Government?s responses to the Indian Residential School system. Konstantin explains that the federal government?s responses serve only as case-specific surface remedies that fail to account for the range of deeper injustices that arise from the colonial project.
