Mansfield, lead trainer of the Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilience (STAR) program at the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP), speaks about her path to STAR from working in multinational banking during 9\/11, polyvagal theory, and her dissertation work on embodied trauma healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The podcast is just one of the ways the center is celebrating its 25-year anniversary. Hosted by CJP executive assistant and anniversary celebration committee chair <strong>Patience Kamau MA \u201817<\/strong>, the 10-episode series features faculty and staff members reflecting on the history of CJP and their own peacebuilding work. A new episode drops every other week on the <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/peacebuilder\/podcast\/\">Peacebuilder website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mansfield, who was raised on Long Island, flew back to New York on September 8, 2011, to be close to her mother after her grandmother\u2019s death. She lost friends in the terror attacks on September 11.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was physically present with both a sense of fear and powerlessness that I had not, until that point, experienced in my body before,\u201d Mansfield says. A few years later, she quit her job and began learning about different ways of seeing the world from a family in India \u2013 a peace education teacher; his wife, a human rights lawyer; and his mother, the first female high court justice in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During \u201ctime around their table, they were just removing dirt from my eyes,\u201d Mansfield says. When she returned to the States, she worked with the organization Peace Games alongside school children grappling with neighborhood violence and interpersonal conflict. Her mentor there suggested she pursue further education in peace studies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mansfield went on to study under <strong>John Paul Lederach<\/strong> at the Kroc Institute at Notre Dame, who suggested she take a class in restorative justice at the program he helped found \u2013 CJP. After finishing her master\u2019s in international peace studies, she attended the Summer Peacebuilding Institute in 2009, which \u201cmade a very strong impression.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She recalls attending a STAR training in 2010, where she talked about her experiences on 9\/11. Another attendee from Somalia told her, \u201cWell, now you know how we feel every day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mansfield\u2019s doctoral dissertation, <em>Re-friending My Body: Arts-based, embodied learning for restoring my entirety<\/em>, in part draws on neuroscientist Stephen Porges\u2019 polyvagal theory, which deals with the vagus nerve\u2019s role in the embodiment of emotion and trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo many of us are learning the words, but not the embodiment,\u201d Mansfield says. \u201cTrauma and joy and life land on the body, and systems and structures, and how people respond to us is because of what\u2019s happening in the nervous system. Do I feel safe in a situation in my body, or do I feel endangered?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In researching for her dissertation, Mansfield was confronted with the power and privilege she\u2019s experienced in her own life, and their effects on how she interacts with others. Similarly, she sees one of CJP\u2019s core challenges now, at its 25th anniversary, as overcoming a tradition of \u201chelpers and healers\u201d going from a privileged and safe position to help others in less privileged situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat model is a holdover from colonial mindsets, and it is not fully respectful of the incredible resilience, capacity, wisdom, power, healthy power that exists in all of these communities that some people are trying to go help,\u201d Mansfield says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4\/29<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katie Mansfield is the featured guest of the eighth episode of the Peacebuilder podcast.
