  • NARAL Ep5 V04 20200623.Mp3
    NARAL_Ep5_v04_20200623.mp3 Jess McIntosh [00:00:00] This limited series podcast is based on the book, "The Lie that Binds" by NARAL Pro-Choice America president Ilyse Hogue with Ellie Langford. Each episode builds on the history terminology and figureheads established in the last. So we strongly recommend that you start from episode one before jumping ahead. Brianna Wu [00:00:18] The truth is, GamerGate is less of an event and more of a playbook to use against someone you don't like. Jess McIntosh [00:00:26] This is Brianna Wu, co-founder of independent videogame studio Giant SpaceKat. Brianna Wu [00:00:32] This is the GamerGate playbook. Find someone you want to shut up. Go to their entire life. Go through all their social media posts. Investigate them and find something to attack them with. And then get an army of people online to scream from the hills about this fact which may or may not be true and destroyed their reputation. The idea is to make the cost of speaking out so high that it's easier to just remain silent. Jess McIntosh [00:00:59] The GamerGate controversy started in August 2014. Brianna Wu [00:01:01] All through 2014 my women colleagues were being basically bullied out of the industry. Jess McIntosh [00:01:09] It was set off after game developer Zoe Quinn was falsely accused by their ex-boyfriend of sleeping with a videogame journalist to garner positive reviews for their company's new game. This led to an avalanche of rape threats, doxing and death threats against Quinn, as well as women who criticized sexism in the game industry in general.

  • Aboriginal Feminist, Celeste Liddle in Canberra to Discuss Women's Leadership
    MEDIA RELEASE ABORIGINAL FEMINIST, CELESTE LIDDLE IN CANBERRA TO DISCUSS WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP Date: 14 August 2017 This Wednesday 16 August, Arrernte woman, renowned Aboriginal feminist, unionist, and social commentator, Celeste Liddle will talk women’s leadership at the University of Canberra’s Ann Harding Centre. This is the third event in YWCA Canberra’s She Leads In-Conversation series, to be emceed by Wiradjuri woman and YWCA Canberra Vice President, Sarah Burr. The conversation will highlight the leadership challenges that Aboriginal women continue to face in our communities, society and workplaces, and point to solutions for the future. Ms Burr says the unique voices and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are largely absent from mainstream conversations about feminism and equality, and this must be addressed in order to make meaningful progress. “Celeste and I share a profound appreciation for First Nations feminism, and I look forward to the opportunity to hear her thoughts on what it means to be an Aboriginal feminist, and how this contradicts and intersects with more western ideals” Ms Burr said. Frances Crimmins, Executive Director of YWCA Canberra added that it is crucial that conversations about gender equality and women in leadership are inclusive, diverse, and accessible to all members of the community. “Understanding the challenges and barriers to leadership that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women face is an important step towards achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment. “This event celebrates the voices of Aboriginal women leaders in our community, who are still suppressed in public discourse today,” Ms Crimmins said.

  • 'Acting Like 13 Year Old Boys?'
    ‘Acting like 13 year old boys?’ Exploring the discourse of online harassment and the diversity of harassers Lucy Fisher-Hackworth Submitted to the Department of Gender Studies, University of Utrecht In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Erasmus Mundus Master's Degree in Women's and Gender Studies Main supervisor: Dr.Domitilla Olivieri (University of Utrecht) Second reader: Dr. Jasmina Lukic (Central European University) Utrecht, the Netherlands 2016 Approved: _________________________________________ 1 ABSTRACT In this thesis, I have undertaken research into the users behind online harassment. The impetus behind this was to investigate taken for granted assumptions about who harassers are, what they do online, and how they do it. To begin, I highlight the discourse of online harassment of women in scholarship and online-news media, discussing the assumptions made about who is harassing and why. I discuss the lack of consideration of multi-layered harassment and argue for more research that takes into consideration the intersectionality of harassing content, and the experiences of all women online. I provide an overview of online methodologies and of feminism on the internet. I then undertake an investigation into harassers behind online harassment of women, and find trends in user profiles, user behaviour, and in online communication patterns more broadly. I discuss how researching this topic affected me personally, reflecting on the impact of viewing high amounts abusive content. My findings challenged many of the assumptions initially identified, so, with that in mind, I provide a discussion of why such assumptions are problematic. I argue that such assumptions contribute to a discourse that homogenizes harassment and harassers, and overlooks broader internet-specific behaviours.

    ARTICLES OF INTEREST January 17, 2020 QUOTE(S) OF THE WEEK “Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why.” – Bernard Baruch “We need our public and private Churchills, leaders who can re-imagine, who can call forth wellsprings of daring and guts and spirit and spunk, from one and all, to topple the way things may have been for many generations—and who inspire us to venture forth into today’s and tomorrow’s whitewaters with insouciance and bravado and determination.” – Tom Peters “As yet, if a man has no feeling for art he is considered narrow-minded, but if he has no feeling for science this is considered quite normal. This is a fundamental weakness.” – Isidor Isaac Rabi “Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.” – Sofia Kovalevskaya “A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.” – Edward Teller “It is poor civic hygiene to install technologies that could someday facilitate a police state.” – Bruce Schneier “It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope." – Ursula K.

    A whole new world: Global revolution and Australian social movements in the long Sixties Jon Piccini BA Honours (1st Class) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion & Classics Abstract This thesis explores Australian social movements during the long Sixties through a transnational prism, identifying how the flow of people and ideas across borders was central to the growth and development of diverse campaigns for political change. By making use of a variety of sources—from archives and government reports to newspapers, interviews and memoirs—it identifies a broadening of the radical imagination within movements seeking rights for Indigenous Australians, the lifting of censorship, women’s liberation, the ending of the war in Vietnam and many others. It locates early global influences, such as the Chinese Revolution and increasing consciousness of anti-racist struggles in South Africa and the American South, and the ways in which ideas from these and other overseas sources became central to the practice of Australian social movements. This was a process aided by activists’ travel. Accordingly, this study analyses the diverse motives and experiences of Australian activists who visited revolutionary hotspots from China and Vietnam to Czechoslovakia, Algeria, France and the United States: to protest, to experience or to bring back lessons. While these overseas exploits, breathlessly recounted in articles, interviews and books, were transformative for some, they also exposed the limits of what a transnational politics could achieve in a local setting. Australia also became a destination for the period’s radical activists, provoking equally divisive responses.

Kendall’s hashtag activism quickly began trending and reignited a discussion about the trouble with white feminism. A number of journalists have excoriated Kendall specifically, and women of color more generally, for contributing to a “toxic” form of feminism. Yet what remains unquestioned in these journalistic accounts and in the scholarship to date, is the dominance of white women as architects and defenders of a framework of white feminism – not just in the second wave but today, in the digital era.
