Wow, I’m humbled!
Wronged is indispensable. It opens up new ways of thinking about the centrality and ambivalence
of pain in political life, while inviting us to meet the challenge of reclaiming vulnerability for building a more just, less painful world

Why is being a victim such a potent identity today? Who claims to be a victim, and why?

The long and short is that you should all read this timely and persuasive book (which is OA, so there's really no excuse)

So *many* concerns here, but I don't understand why would a qualitative researcher even want this? Why not use a survey instead?The whole point of qualitative interviews is that we co-produce knowledge with our interlocutors through participation in the research process.
