1 Response and Response-ability to the Death of Others Who Are Vulnerable Kathryn Trees , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: TEXT Special Issue Website Series , October no. 45 2017;

'This article discusses response and response-ability to shocking real-world events and images that influence our daily interactions with vulnerable others who we do not know. It argues that response-ability includes an ethical obligation to respond, and to facilitate response-ability for self and others. It takes the witnessing of a young man who died while train-surfing as an example of an event that demands response. The description of this tragic circumstance may be disturbing. The article identifies writing as an ethical response.'  (Publication abstract)
1 Writing Domestic Violence in Marian Keyes’ This Charming Man (2008) Lauren O’Mahony , Kathryn Trees , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: TEXT Special Issue Website Series , no. 38 2017; 'Popular fiction for women has been variously criticised and derided for a focus on romance plots and superficial themes. Marian Keyes, a prolific author of contemporary women’s popular fiction, however, utilises romance to explore serious contemporary issues. This paper examines the representation of one of these serious issues, domestic violence, in Keyes’ novel This Charming Man (2008). The novel’s multi-story plot gradually weaves together the histories and experiences of four female protagonists from their individual points of view. Each protagonist has had a romantic involvement with one ‘charming man’, the rich and powerful Irish politician Paddy de Courcy. Chapters devoted to each woman are interspersed with short vignettes that recount moments of Paddy’s violent behaviour. The narrative organisation of This Charming Man represents domestic violence in a way that prioritises healing, physically, mentally and emotionally, for the protagonists through telling their stories and sharing those stories with other characters and readers. This form of creative writing prompts reader engagement and reflection. Such readerly engagement may increase awareness of this issue and potentially lead readers to actively seek change in their own lives.' (Introduction)

1 The Politics of Post-Colonial Reading Practices as They Relate to the Work of Aboriginal Writers Kathryn Trees , 1997 single work criticism
— Appears in: Teaching Post-Colonialism and Post-Colonial Literatures 1997; (p. 155-159) This article ... 'demonstrates the links between the political and the literary, and shows how the teaching of Aboriginal literature is particularly necessary, although fraught with pitfalls, in a society where the majority of the population know little about the country's Indigenous peoples.'
