  • The Challenge of Protecting Boys from Sexual Abuse
    Improving Community Safety Lessons from the country and the city Jupiters Hotel Townsville, Queensland, Australia 18-19 October 2007 CONFERENCE PAPER: THE CHALLENGE OF PROTECTING BOYS FROM SEXUAL ABUSE Emeritus Professor Freda Briggs AO Child Development University of South Australia, Magill Campus http://www.aic.gov.au/conferences/2007-RegionalComSafety/index.html The Challenge of Protecting Boys from Sexual Abuse Emeritus Professor Freda Briggs AO Child Development; University of South Australia, Magill Campus Introduction It is widely believed that one in three Australian girls and one in from five to ten boys are sexually abused before they leave school. Using Australian and international research findings, this paper will show that the vulnerability and victimization of boys is substantially under-recognised and under-reported, that boys have been disadvantaged by child sexual abuse being regarded as a feminist issue and that child protection curriculum has not yet been developed to meet the special needs of boys. Child sex abuse – a feminist issue The problem of child sex abuse was brought to public notice by American feminists in the late 1970’s. Australian women followed their example in the early 80’s. Rape Crisis Centres received government funding to provide services for female victims. Some centres held well-publicised state-wide phone-ins that revealed the myth of the dangerous stranger and the fact that the greatest risk to girls was the trusted male in the home environment. Adelaide Rape Crisis Centre had a notice on the door that said, “No males may enter this building”, strengthening the belief that only females were victims and offenders were males.

That medicine, BiDil®, was a heart failure medication that set a precedent for being the first approved race based drug for African Americans. Though BiDil®, was the first race specific medicine, racialized bodies have been used all throughout history to advance medical knowledge. The framework for race, history, and racialized drugs was so multi- tiered; it could not be conceptualized from a single perspective. For this reason, this study examines racialized medicine through performance, history, and discourse analysis. The focus of this work aimed to inform and build on a new foundation for social inquiry—using a history film performance to elevate knowledge about race based medicines.

  • Aesthetics, the Body, and Erotic Literature in the Age of Lessing
    HEAVING AND SWELLING: AESTHETICS, THE BODY, AND EROTIC LITERATURE IN THE AGE OF LESSING Derrick Ray Miller A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. Chapel Hill 2007 approved by: Eric Downing Jonathan Hess (advisor) Clayton Koelb Alice Kuzniar Richard Langston © 2007 Derrick Ray Miller ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DERRICK RAY MILLER: Heaving and Swelling: Aesthetics, the Body, and Erotic Literature in the Age of Lessing (Under the direction of Jonathan Hess) In this dissertation, I explore how signs affect the body in German neoclassicism. This period constructs a particular body (the voluptuary’s body) that derives primarily sensual—as opposed to cognitive—pleasure from the signs of art. Erotic literature with its sensual appeal, then, becomes a special case of art, one that manifests this relationship between signs and the body the most clearly. By focusing on erotic literature as a paradigmatic rather than a marginal case of literature, I am able to reconsider our current understanding of German neoclassicism. Erotic literature exceeds the aesthetic and semiotic principles that scholars have come to expect to circumscribe the literature of this period. Erotic literature moves beyond such categories as vividness, veracity, and verisimilitude to achieve an aesthetic pleasure of virtuality. Its arousing signs produce voluptuous sensations and transformations in the reader’s body in addition to transmitting knowledge and manipulating affect. And as they strike—or stroke—the body, these signs appear less transparent than sticky.

  • International Women's Day Children's Safety Luncheon
    MEDIA RELEASE International Women’s Day Event to Address Children’s Safety 16 January 2015 In recognition of the strong connection between women's and children's rights, Brisbane-based charity, Children's Safety Australia Inc. is hosting an International Women's Day Luncheon with a focus on practical strategies to promote children's safety. Speakers include internationally renowned children's rights campaigner Professor Freda Briggs and accomplished author Tess Rowley. As highlighted in United Nations report, Women’s and Children’s Rights: Making the Connection, the lives of women and children are tightly knit, as are their rights. Advocating for women’s rights has been essential to advancing the situation of women worldwide. The same holds true for the promotion of children’s rights and improvements in their ability to survive and thrive. However, if the rights of women and children are considered together, they can reinforce each other and make mutually supportive demands on society. Children’s Safety Australia Director and Founder Kim Jackson said, “The event will see internationally renowned children’s safety experts address emerging trends, such as children who abuse other children. Practical strategies to keep children safe, including how to build their self esteem and resilience, will also be discussed.” Ms Jackson said, “This luncheon presents a valuable professional development opportunity for police, social workers, educators, youth workers, chaplains, guidance officers, parents, carers, grandparents and anyone with an interest in keeping children safe. Costs have been kept as low as possible to allow optimal attendance. ” VENUE: Pullman Brisbane King George Square DATE: Monday, 9 March 2015 TIME: 9.30am (for a 10.00am start) – 2.00pm COST: $60 (includes light morning tea and hot buffet lunch) BOOKINGS: http://www.trybooking.com/GRXD FURTHER INFORMATION: Kim Jackson via e: [email protected] or m: 0423 532 868 About the speakers… Keynote Speaker: Freda Briggs AO Professor Freda Briggs is Australia's best-known expert on child protection.
