Abstract
This paper considers how intersectional feminist theory can be integrated into clinical training with awareness of the many forms of labor present when inequality, trauma, and systemic violence are central subjects of study. We give particular attention to collective, sedimented histories of race and gender in the U.S., proposing that these histories are fundamentally labor relations and thus inform how we think about racialized and gendered trauma also as a labor relation. While speaking to the contemporary debate on trigger warnings, we hope to add to that conversation through nuancing the embodied labor of trauma within education spaces.
