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!
