Catholic University Prof Supports ‘Scream Sessions’ to Protest Pro-Life Laws
“….[convert] an involuntary outburst of agonized helplessness into an intentional expression of power.”
English Professor Laura Haigwood teaches at Saint Mary’s College, a Catholic university in Indiana.
Despite Catholic teaching against abortion, Haigwood has shown support for feminist actions that oppose pro-life laws. From The College Fix:
A Catholic university professor is promoting “supportive group scream sessions” for women as a way to “[convert] an involuntary outburst of agonized helplessness into an intentional expression of power.”
Writing at Ms. Magazine on Sunday, English Professor Laura Haigwood said photographer Whitney Bradshaw began the “social justice practice project” known as OUTCRY in 2018 during the Women’s March.
“Bradshaw’s practice is a timely model of feminist leadership, and includes telling her own illuminating stories of victimization and resistance,” Haigwood wrote. She is a professor emeritus of English at Saint Mary’s College, a private, Catholic institution in Indiana.
The “scream sessions,” which Bradshaw photographs, are the subject of a new documentary, “OUTCRY: Alchemists of Rage,” which comes out March 14.
Haigwood promoted the film in her article, writing: “The short film follows the photographer from her home in Chicago to D.C. for a reproductive freedom march, then to Denver for an OUTCRY exhibition, and on to Dayton, Ohio, for a scream session just prior to voting on Issue 1, which enshrined abortion rights into the Ohio Constitution.”

Catholic is a very strong word to use when describing St. Mary’s. They’re an all girls school that was planning on accepting trans girls. Not sure if they reversed course on that.
They’re literally across the street from Notre Dame and they’ve gone off the rails over the decades in an attempt to differentiate themselves. As you can see, it hasn’t been going well.
SMC quietly backed off the admission of ‘trans women’s aka men. Just once I would like to read some reporting on who made that decision and what debate (if any) was held.
Scream sessions may backfire, who knows if it’s “an expression of power” or you fell in a sink hole.
One of these statements is not like the other.
Attendees, don’t forget to pick you your complimentary lime green jacket at the door.
Sorry, I don’t get it…
This jacket.
Nope, that one’s white! 🤣
I’m on my phone so this one was harder to do.
