Ordinary and Presumptive Trauma offers a sociopolitical account of trauma grounded in the lived experiences of oppressed and socially disadvantaged peoples. In doing so, this book seeks to articulate a theory of trauma that generates space for the recognition of historical and ongoing political violence, the collective healing of harmed people, and the bridging of psychological theories with social justice scholarship and activist traditions.Ordinary and Presumptive Trauma is uniquely situated at the crossroads of two worlds that often struggle to co-exist, but that have the potential to grow significantly in conversation with one another. Accordingly, this book provides a multi-faceted approach that appeals to a wide readership in multiple disciplines, such as psychology, women’s and gender studies, ethnic studies, queer studies, and more.

“Ordinary and Presumptive Trauma is a visionary book that reimagines how we think about and respond to trauma. Both deeply theoretical and profoundly practical, it equips leaders to advance trauma-informed, healing-centered approaches to social change. Timely, transformative, and essential for building healthier, more compassionate communities, organizations, and systems for all.”Brian Vanderheyden, MPH, MEd, CHES®, coordinator of employee engagement and retention at Des Moines Area Community College“By bringing together the fields of psychology, gender studies, and critical theory, Ordinary and Presumptive Trauma persuasively reframes trauma from an individualized and medicalized experience to one that is ordinary and embedded in structures of racism, sexism, and ableism. Through this framework, this text offers important insights for scholars and activists alike in the journey towards collective liberation.”Abigail Barefoot, assistant professor of instruction in legal studies at Northwestern University
