How to academia: a School of Justice Podcast

Sisters taking on the Hague: Gina and Rebecca talk challenging international law, domestic violence, and The Voice

Sometimes laws are created with the best of intents but end up causing disadvantage and harm. Gina and Rebecca are sisters, Gubbi Gubbi Wakka Wakka women, strong feminist women, women taking on international conventions. Gina and Rebecca's passion, drive, determination, and care for making the world a better place is so evident in this episode. If you're looking for some inspiration, here it is.

Intersectionality in research with Fatima and Benafsha

Many of us in the Humanities research in areas we are passionate about because of personal experiences and interests. Managing bias means acknowledging and accounting for this - not ignoring it. It's not always easy and sometimes it's joyous. In this episode I talk to two young Muslim women of colour who research in violent extremism. These are important voices and we're pleased to share them with you.

Librarians - the dragons of knowledge with Sandra Fry

I firmly believe librarians are the dragons of knowledge. They hoard it, they know where to find the treasures, and they will joyfully share their wisdom and resources with you if you just ask nicely. You don't even have to ask nicely because libraries just put out maps to their, not so secret, hoards. Sandra Fry is another of my favourite QUT colleagues and she has had quite the journey getting to us. Former court reporter Sandra knows all the good things about crime and criminal justice. Listen in to hear Sandra tell us about her time with the ABC as a journalist, surviving a cancer cluster, and all the good things offered by the QUT library. Then go visit a librarian and ask them to share their joy in knowledge with you - they have such shiny things!

Dr Dean Biron: musician, former police officer (child protection), casual academic, and critical mind

Dean has been productively loitering around the School of Justice for years now! He's one of those guys that I have hear excellent things about but have never really sat down and had a chat with. We fixed that recently and want to share it with you. Dean has another unique career trajectory that has resulted in  a whole lot of really great advice on figuring out where you might fit. Dean is a former QPS officer who worked in the Fraud Squad and the Sexual Assault and Child Protection time. Grab a cuppa and come and enjoy this chat I had with Dean!

Dr Rachel Loney-Howes on taking on leadership, researching sexual violence, and understanding Butler

It's important to have friends in academia - people who understand your jam. I think I am really fortunate to have found Rachel at ANZSOC in 2022. Rachel is doing some really excellent work in the sexual violence space including work on alternative reporting mechanisms. I also really appreciate Rachel's willingness to step up into leadership when it is not always appreciated or seen. Go find some friends who get your jam - but first listen to this lovely episode and smile along with us.

The Honorable Brett Mason on being a senator, being an ambassador, and being an author.

A politician walks into a bar... well it was my office but here was still laughter and good times. I thoroughly enjoyed recording this episode with Brett. I think this is an excellent testament to Brett's intelligence, good humour, and ability to engage with people across all walks of life.  Brett has had a really interesting career and is wonderfully reflective and enthusiastic about his achievements and all the challenges that have come along the way. I am really grateful to Brett for allowing me such free range and not flinching from my questioning.

PI Katie talks investigations and challenging conversations in the workplace

We're back and so excited about what we're going to bring to you in 2023. We're starting the year with one of our excellent former students Katie. Katie is building a career in investigations with the private sector. I had no idea that there was a whole industry investigating trademark violations - but of course there is! I loved hearing about Katie's experiences and how she is using skills she learned in the Justice degree to build a career.

Techniques of neutralisation

Lucia Brisudova, a geographer (!) talks fear of crime, use of space, technology in research and the dangers of being too busy!

We're super excited about visiting scholars here in the School of Justice. We recently welcomed Lucia from Palacký University Olomouc, Chechia. Lucia is a geographer. Yes, you read that right, a geographer! Lucia's research looks at how people view public space and fear of crime. Tune in to hear me nail some geography speak and Lucia talk about working across disciplines, travelling the world, running in the dark, and figuring out life balance.
In other news, we're taking a break for Christmas. We'll be back in the new year with more adjuncts, researchers, students, and interesting people talking How to Academia.

Adjunct Brodie on working in men’s violence perpetrator programs, activism, transphobia, and the importance of values in employability.

Brodie knows about so many things I have no clue about - spreadsheets, being good at admin, finance.... More importantly this chat with Brodie shows insight into the importance of taking the journey of figuring out who you are, staying passionate in activism, and working with men in perpetrator programs. I loved this chat with Brodie for the honesty, the passion, and a willingness to be transparent. Brodie also gives us some insight into the importance of value alignment in employability.
