Topic: Collective resilience and stalking - Sam Taylor and Claudia Miles
To view the slides for this Forum please go to the Resources section.
Sam and Claudia will present their experiences of ‘collective resilience’, having successfully campaigned to make ‘stalking’ a separate law. They will look at the commonality of their own experiences, extreme fear, in some cases devastating loss. This sense of unity can also include understanding the profile of stalking perpetrators, whether they be ex-intimate partner or stranger stalkers.
Biography: Sam Taylor is a core member of the Service-User Strategy Group within the School of Nursing and Midwifery and a service-user/visiting lecturer at the University of Brighton. She has an MA in Creative Writing and Personal Development and has used her own creative writing to raise awareness around the issues of domestic abuse, stalking and harassment and has published a poem on the subject. She is also a member of the charity ‘Protection Against Stalking’ a victim-lead organisation, who have successfully campaigned in Parliament this year to make ‘Stalking’ a law in its’ own right.
Audience: Those working, studying or interested in law and criminology, humanities and social work, health and social care, or child protection.

Does resilience change the way we think about inequalities and the struggle for social justice? Or should inequalities change the way we think about resilience?
In this paper, I’d like to invite debate about some of the issues raised by ideas on resilience, positive thinking and wellbeing. It’s an old question: how do we combine the work that is needed to bring about radical systems change with every day ‘fire fighting’. What does it mean to work in a way that recognises the strength of the evidence on the wider determinants of mental wellbeing? I have concerns about some of the politics around resilience and welcome this opportunity for discussion and debate.
