  • How Did Child Sexual Offending by Women Come to Be an Unthinkable Crime? a Critical Genealogy
    How Did Child Sexual Offending by Women Come to Be an Unthinkable Crime? A Critical Genealogy Andrea Josipovic MCouns (University of Queensland), Magister Artium (German Philology, Art History and European History, Universität zu Köln) 0000-0002-8819-1029 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of History and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract My thesis seeks to investigate the historical dimension of modern concerns about child sexual abuse, with a particular focus on women as offenders. It attempts to redress conceptual oversights which are directly related to the single-minded view that child sexual abuse constitutes a gendered crime whereby women as agents of such abuse have been rendered almost completely absent. The assumption is that the very great majority of sexual offending is committed by men, not women, and not, for that matter, other children. Everyday encounters with this dominant narrative have prompted me to engage in a more detailed inquiry. Despite its ubiquity, time and again cases emerge where women have criminally engaged in sex with children. Since women and children often find themselves alone together within spheres of “privacy,” I will primarily be studying the domestic space of the family home as the site of its occurrence. I am interested to learn how women as possible offenders of child sexual abuse have vanished from sight, and along with them, their victims. Accounts of contemporary child protection practice do not often centralise history as their primary object of inquiry in order to deepen an understanding of present concerns. In contrast, I plan to demonstrate that there is indeed merit in investigating the genealogy of child sexual abuse as a gendered crime, not least because it can help to inform and adjust contemporary child protection assessments.

  • Damascus Christos Tsiolkas
    AUSTRALIA NOVEMBER 2019 Damascus Christos Tsiolkas The stunningly powerful new novel from the author of The Slap. Description 'They kill us, they crucify us, they throw us to beasts in the arena, they sew our lips together and watch us starve. They bugger children in front of fathers and violate men before the eyes of their wives. The temple priests flay us openly in the streets and the Judeans stone us. We are hunted everywhere and we are hunted by everyone. We are despised, yet we grow. We are tortured and crucified and yet we flourish. We are hated and still we multiply. Why is that? You must wonder, how is it we survive?' Christos Tsiolkas' stunning new novel Damascus is a work of soaring ambition and achievement, of immense power and epic scope, taking as its subject nothing less than events surrounding the birth and establishment of the Christian church. Based around the gospels and letters of St Paul, and focusing on characters one and two generations on from the death of Christ, as well as Paul (Saul) himself, Damascus nevertheless explores the themes that have always obsessed Tsiolkas as a writer: class, religion, masculinity, patriarchy, colonisation, refugees; the ways in which nations, societies, communities, families and individuals are united and divided - it's all here, the contemporary and urgent questions, perennial concerns made vivid and visceral. In Damascus, Tsiolkas has written a masterpiece of imagination and transformation: an historical novel of immense power and an unflinching dissection of doubt and faith, tyranny and revolution, and cruelty and sacrifice.

    PRAISE FOR BOYS WILL BE BOYS ‘A damning look at toxic masculinity. It’s the most important thing you’ll read this year.’ Elle Australia ‘Boys Will Be Boys is a timely contribution to feminist literature. Her central point is clear and confronting, and it represents something of a challenge… Ferocious, incisive, an effective treatise.’ Australian Book Review ‘A piercing gaze at contemporary patriarchy, gendered oppression and toxic masculinity.’ Sydney Morning Herald ‘A truly vital piece of social commentary from Australia’s fiercest feminist, Boys Will Be Boys should be shoved into the hands of every person you know. Clementine Ford has done her research—despite what her angry detractors would have you believe—and spits truths about toxic masculinity and the dangers of the patriarchy with passion and a wonderfully wry sense of humour. Read it, learn from it, and share it—this book is absolute GOLD!’ AU Review, 16 Best Books of 2018 ‘Boys Will Be Boys is an impassioned call for societal change from a writer who has become a stand-out voice of her generation (and has the trolls to prove it) and an act of devotion from a mother to her son.’ Readings ‘With pithy jokes and witty commentary, this is an engrossing read, and Ford’s spirited tone evokes passion for change.’ Foreword Reviews ‘Clementine Ford reveals the fragility behind “toxic masculinity” in Boys Will Be Boys.’ The Conversation ‘Boys Will Be Boys highlights the need to refocus on how we’re raising our boys to be better men. The ingrained toxic masculinity within society does just as much damage to our boys as it does to our girls, and this book highlights how to change that.’ Fernwood Magazine PRAISE FOR FIGHT LIKE A GIRL ‘Her brilliant book could light a fire with its fury.
