Abstract
'Crafting Resilience' explores the opportunities that craft practices, and their digital augmentation, can bring to staff who support women in touch with the criminal justice system: focusing on their opportunities to build resilience and materialize hope and care.
Drawing on feminist theories: the candidate will collaborate with staff at Changing Lives women's criminal justice hubs to develop a comprehensive body of practice-based and theoretical work, drawing on three strands of inquiry: (1) participatory craft workshops facilitating informal peer-support;(20)co-craft bespoke, dialogic objects with individuals; and (3) develop a comprehensive theory of craft processes as resilience and praxes of hope for similar settings.
