We talk a lot about student wellbeing in universities, and rightly so. But we talk far less about the academics who experience harm from students. Today I've released a new report and executive brief on student‑perpetrated harm in Australian universities, access via www.saferuniversities.com

Excited to share the latest output from a project about young people's attitudes and understandings of pornography. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Project led by Dr Ryan Thorneycroft, who is amazing to work with, as is A/Prof Lucy Nicholas (co-author).

Thrilled to see another post from @aunz.theconversation.com about our piece! If you’re wondering about the prevalence of the term, keep in mind it was used just last year in Parliament House to an audience that included the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea James Marape! doi.org/10.1080/2201...

The phrase ‘fuzzy wuzzy angels’ is far from affectionate – it reflects 500 years of racism
