Pasquale in her book "Sacred Wounds: A Path to Healing from Spiritual Trauma," we'll engage in guided meditation, personal reflection and group discussion within a safe and supportive environment.

Place Stigma, the idea that perceptions about a neighborhood can be used to disparage an area or people from it, is a concept whose affects are widespread. In this dynamic talk on their book, "Unequal Neighbors"¸ authors Kristen Hill Maher and David Carruthers examine the role that place stigma has in reinforcing real and imagined inequalities in San Diego and Tijuana. While San Diego is often represented as a place of economic vitality and safety, Tijuana is portrayed as a zone of poverty and crim. But neither of these assumptions represent the reality on the ground. Based on original empirical materials, this book looks at the ways the cities have been represented through media, everyday talk, economic relations, and local tourism discourses to show how these difference result in asymmetric borders between places.
