connections, the paper draws on insights from Judith Butler's recent writing on the ethics and politics of assembly in order to re-think how inclusion might be understood and practiced. The paper has three inter-related aims: (i) to emphasize the importance of a critical reconsideration of the ethics and politics of inclusion given, on the one hand, its positioning as an organizational 'good' and on the other, the conditions attached to it; (ii) to develop a critique of inclusion, drawing on insights from recent feminist thinking on relational ethics, and (iii) to connect this theoretical critique of inclusion, re-considered here through the lens of embodied ethics, to assembly as a form of feminist activism. Each of these aims underpins the theoretical and empirical discussion developed in the paper, specifically its focus on the relationship between embodied ethics, the interplay between theory and practice, and a politics of assembly as the basis for a critical reconsideration of inclusion.

“…These acts perpetuate and reinforce stigma toward sexual minorities (i.e., sexual stigma; Herek, ), and, even if sexual minorities are not direct targets of sexual stigma, they are likely exposed to it vicariously (e.g., social media). Exposure to vicarious stigma is similar to direct experience of stigma in that it threatens perceptions of personal safety and well‐being (Noelle, ; Ramirez et al., ; Stults et al., ). Although correlational and quasinatural experimental studies document that stigma has deleterious effects on sexual minorities’ health and contributes to health disparities (Hatzenbuehler, ), research has yet to examine the direct effects of exposure to sexual stigma among sexual minorities in a controlled laboratory setting.…”

Background: Sexual orientation disparities in alcohol use disorder (AUD) are thought to be explained by stigma specific to sexual minorities. Despite the importance of negative affect and craving in addiction, research has yet to test the effects of stigma on affect and alcohol craving among sexual minorities. This laboratory study examined the effects of 3 novel mood inductions (stigma, general unpleasant, and neutral) on affect and alcohol craving among heavy-drinking sexual minority young adults. We also paired these mood inductions with an established alcohol cue reactivity paradigm to explore the effects of stigma on cue-elicited craving.Methods: Sexual minority participants (N = 20; 55% female), aged 18 to 27 years (M = 21.80, standard deviation = 2.65), were recruited from the community. Participants completed 3 mood induction and cue reactivity trials counterbalanced over 3 visits on different days: stigma, general unpleasant, and neutral mood inductions. A structured interview assessed criteria for DSM-5 AUD, and self-report measures assessed lifetime adverse experiences.Results: Most participants met criteria for past-year AUD (75%). Exposure to stigma produced more negative affect and greater alcohol craving than the neutral and general unpleasant mood induction conditions. The general unpleasant mood induction did not predict greater alcohol craving than the neutral mood induction. Stigma enhanced alcohol cue reactivity effects, as measured with a singleitem craving measure, compared to the general unpleasant mood condition, and this effect remained significant while controlling for covariates.Conclusions: Findings are the first to demonstrate how stigma uniquely predicts negative affect and alcohol craving among sexual minorities. This study suggests that being exposed to stigma, specifically heterosexism, elicits negative mood and alcohol craving among sexual minority young adults who are heavy drinkers.

“…Yet, even in the countries with more legal rights and protections, we are still witnessing an increase in violence and hate crimes targeting the LGBTQ communities (Armstrong, 2019;Fitzsimons, 2019;Flatley, 2019). The Pulse Nightclub shooting, which claimed the lives of 49 individuals on 12 June 2016, is but one example (Ramirez, Gonzalez, & Galupo, 2018), and it lines up alongside numerous individual attacks on same-sex couples (e.g., Brent, 2019;O'Handley, Blair, & Hoskin, 2017;Rosswood, 2015), as well as the continued disproportionate murder rates around the globe for trans women, particularly trans women of colour (Hoskin, 2019).…”
