How to academia: a School of Justice Podcast

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.

Indigenous people have never been called “flora and fauna” under Australian law?

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.

Graduate Monique Buckley talks about surprising opportunities and finding your fit

In this chat with Monique we talk about finding surprising opportunities and making the most of them. Monique graduated and started her career with Corrections, felt the big challenges and rewards of being in that space, learned some lessons about work/life balance, and now is addressing systemic issues in her role with KPMG – somewhere we usually don’t think our graduates end up. I love how Monique has found her space and is thriving. I also love that Monique wants us to know that there are surprising opportunities to be had in the private sector for those who are passionate about justice and systemic change.

Dr Adele Webb on lobbying government, running and NGO, and figuring out the best version of yourself

Ever wondered what it actually means to lobby government? Run and NGO? Inform actual public debate? Adele has done all of that and lets us know what it's like... spoiler alert, it's difficult! We got the goods on how you do all of that AND figure out how to be your best self through it all. Lots of people talk about valuing authenticity. From this chat I got that Adele actually lives and works authenticity.

Ingrid Valladares Gonzalez on being an international student, finding work, and figuring out a PhD

Honestly, we are so fortunate to have so many excellent HDR students completing so many challenging PhD's in QUT School of Justice.

There are some big life choices discussed here and some great discussion on working in different countries and forging a career path.
