How to academia: a School of Justice Podcast

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.

Crossing the floor - what it is and why Labor party members can’t do it - in short:
“...Labor MPs are bound by a formal party pledge to support the collective decisions of their parliamentary caucus. To flout the pledge is to risk expulsion from the party. The last MP to ignore such warnings was Western Australia's Graeme Campbell. He lost his ALP endorsement in 1995, and his seat, as an independent, in the House of Representatives in 1998.” Sydney Morning Herald, 2006

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.

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.

Jessy Renouf, proud Gubbi Gubbi woman, student ambassador, and Justice and Psychology student

Ask all the questions is what Jessy tells us. I'm with you Jessy! We are so proud of Jessy and her passion for helping community. Jessy crams life full of good things and here, she tells us how she manages and how she stays engaged. I am so deeply impressed with what our students are capable of and where their 'real world' aspirations are taking them. I am thankful for Jessy reflections on what it means to be an Indigenous student at QUT and her advice on how we can do better to support Indigenous students. When you've listened to Jessy talk to us, check out her TEDxQUT talk.

It’s me... Jodi... on institutional child sexual abuse, crippling fear of writing, and dealing with rage.

I have been asked regularly when I was going to let someone turn the tables and interview me. My excellent colleague Adele Webb stepped up asked the tough questions. In this episode I talk about what it means to be a post-Christian, feminist, lesbian, survivor, and... academic who works in the area of sexual violence. There has been a bit in the media this last week about Christian faith and leadership (#Essendon) and happily there is some discussion about faith and how it intersects work with here. Trigger warnings on this episode for direct disclosures of sexual violence and raging feminisms!

Professor Michael Flood on pro-feminist men, gender activism, and working with men

There are not many men who decide to undertake gender studies(at the time “women’s studies”), work in a rape crisis center, and build a career that includes domestic violence advocacy. Professor Michael Flood has taken up this challenge and Kelsey is not over-selling it when she says his work is prolific! We in the School of Justice are very privileged to have Michael as a colleague who cares so deeply about equity, believes that people can change, makes genuine efforts to advocate for better understanding of gendered violence, and ‘walks the walk’ of challenging patriarchy in his professional and private life -and is humble enough to admit to us he doesn’t always get it right. Friends, please listen in and enjoy this chat with Michael – what a guy!

Justice graduate Haydn tells us about being a Dad, working, studying, and finding a career

Here’s another chat with one of our excellent graduates Haydn. Haydn has a job with Probation and Parole (Corrections Qld) that he thinks will be a career. As a student Haydn studied full time, became a Dad, and worked crazy hours at a servo so he has some tips on how to fit it all in! Haydn represents policy nerds who can shape a surfboard and pull a beer while considering the complexities of responding to crime. I tell you, our graduates are such interesting people!

ASPRO Angela Higginson on taking the long way around to figure out what you want

It seems like life has been an adventure down a winding river for Ange. Sometimes it just takes a while to find your jam and Ange has had an excellent tour of all the interesting things to come to academia. . I learned things about my favourite office buddy that helped me feel okay about sometimes just not knowing what I want and doing what ever it is that looks good at the time. Things I love about Ange include an excellent an critical, ethical, and compassionate take on life. Listen in to hear about the latest in hate crime research, why numbers count (see what I did there), and being a potter.
