📣 Online talk: @ailise-bulfin.bsky.social and Giulia Scapin (UCD), ‘Investigating fictional representations of child sexual abuse and using the Shared Reading method to work with people with difficult lived experience’

📆 13:00 BST Wednesday 23rd April

✉️ Email chh@reading.ac.uk for Teams link.
Online talk as part of the University of Reading's Centre for Health Humanities' seminar series. The talk is by Dr Ailise Bulfin and Giulia Scapin (University College Dublin); and the title is: ‘Investigating fictional representations of child sexual abuse and using the Shared Reading method to work with people with difficult lived experience’. The talk takes place at 13:00 BST Wednesday 23rd April 2025. This talk discusses the nature and social impact of fictional representations of child sexual abuse (CSA) and using the Shared Reading bibliotherapy method. Although CSA is a critical and growing issue, it remains relatively taboo and this social avoidance negatively impacts survivors’ wellbeing and prevention efforts. Yet CSA is widely represented in fictional works (e.g. novels, TV series and films), which potentially affect both survivors’ and wider public understandings of the issue. The talk introduces the European Research Council-funded CSAReps project, ‘Investigating Fictional Representations of Child Sexual Abuse in Contemporary Culture: Myths and Understanding’, which sets out to explore these representations – which to date are quite understudied in cultural scholarship. Bulfin and Scapin will also outline the possible benefits of using the Shared Reading practice in research on child sexual abuse representations. They will present what Shared Reading is (and is not), and previous research that employed it in the medical humanities. They will then describe the potential applications in this and future research projects, for example to address stereotypical ideas against marginalized populations and normalize the discussion around child sexual abuse. Email chh@reading.ac.uk for Teams meeting information.
