HMN 2025: How ‘Lived {experience}’ is valued in activism, however is it doing extra hurt than good? – healthmedicinet Daily News and Tips

So good to see my article on 'lived experience' resonating across so many sectors including medicine. I'm excited to see the conversation on lived experience led research progress. healthmedicinet.com/hmn-2025-liv...

Thank you so much! @desfitzgerald.bsky.social

‘Lived experience’ is valued in activism – but is it doing more harm than good? Those without direct experience of an issue can find their place in activism questioned, but an emphasis on personal testimony can shift activism away from political action, toward guilt, polarisation...

Hi @kathbrowne.bsky.social - Hope you're well - I wanted to share my article published in @theconversation.com today - Lots of crossover with the Beyond Opposition Symposium themes. I though you might like to take a look.

@katesummers.bsky.social Hi Kate, I attended (online) the 'lived experience' and social welfare workshop in the LSE last year - I thought this Conversation article I wrote (published yesterday) might be of interest to you.

‘Lived experience’ is valued in activism – but is it doing more harm than good? Activists without ‘lived experience’ can feel unsure of their place.

Delighted to have a piece in The Conversation today.

Can centring lived experience in activism weaken collective action? And why is the far right starting to use this language too?

Beyond guilt: deploying ‘Lived Experience’ for solidarity and social change - Subjectivity ‘Lived experience’ is a pivotal concept in activism, highlighting the rights of marginalised individuals to share their stories and gain recognition within broader societal discourse. Social movements...

“Some caution that activists with privilege should avoid seeking redemption, doing nothing is also a problem. Through ‘constructive confession,’ guilt can become a turning point—one that fuels reflection, solidarity, and meaningful action.

Through interviews with activists, I examine how humility, listening, and collective action can move us beyond guilt toward real social transformation.

This piece means a lot to me, and I’m grateful to everyone who supported me in getting it published!

Ah Sheila! I'm so flattered to have you repost me! Thank you @sheilagregoire.bsky.social

The complementarian argument often claims that human sexuality reflects male headship because “men penetrate and women receive.” This is used to suggest that penetration symbolises male dominance, while reception reflects female submission.

Interesting thread (is that what we're calling them here?) about biological justifications for complementarianism!

This remains the most beautiful poem I have ever read. 'Love' by George Herbert.

God as the inn keeper welcoming in the cold and weary traveller. He addresses every concern - reassuring the traveller, he's got all his concerns covered. Indeed they are covered by His all encompassing love.

I totally agree, but because they do make that argument - it's good to know God has made us, both to receive and penetrate.
