Teaching on gender-based violence in higher education
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a pervasive harm disproportionately affecting Indigenous women and marginalised communities in Australia and across the globe. Despite the centrality of GBV in criminological research, limited attention has been paid to how it is taught in higher education. This article reflects on our experiences teaching GBV within criminology in Australia and the UK, drawing on feminist, queer, intersectional and decolonial …
Engaging men in the prevention of violence against women
As part of growing attention towards the role of men and boys in the primary prevention of men’s violence against women, there are an increasing number of initiatives to engage men as allies in workplaces. This article explores the part the business sector can play in developing such initiatives, and how to engage successfully with businesses and the men within them. It is based upon key-informant interviews with 20 educators and advocates in Eng…

Engaging Men and Boys in Gender Justice Through Pro-Feminist Podcasts
This article explores pro-feminist podcasting as an emergent approach to engaging men and boys in gender justice. In recent years, an increasing number of podcasts have surfaced which implicitly or explicitly espouse pro-feminist praxis. However, scholarship in this area remains underexamined. This article seeks to move the literature forward by 1) situating pro-feminist podcasting within the wider multi-disciplinary literatures on critical podca…
I’m a red-blooded male’
The ways in which gendered expectations of women are used to maintain power and control by male perpetrators of domestic abuse are now well understood. It is also increasingly recognised that men can be victims of domestic abuse. This has led to calls to de-gender theories of violence and abuse, and arguments that the feminist theories which underpin many interventions are outdated. We draw on the experiences of 344 men using a helpline for male …
Cause We’re All Just Part of the System Really’
In recent years, initiatives to prevent men’s violence against women on university campuses in England have been growing. However, there remains a lack of institutional recognition about the gendered dynamics of this abuse and the importance of engaging men in ending it. This research sought to shed light on how young men make sense of violence prevention campaigns, through eight focus groups with 45 members of men’s university sports teams. The …
MeToo or #MenToo? Expressions of Backlash and Masculinity Politics in the #MeToo Era
Since #MeToo took the Internet by storm in 2017, it has had transnational social and legal ramifications. However, there has been little research on the repercussions of this movement for the ways in which masculinity has been politicized as questions around its meaning and place in gender relations were brought to the forefront of public discussions. Thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants from two Western Anglophone…
Covid-19 and Masculinities in Global Perspective
COVID-19 has affected individuals and communities in gendered ways. A spike in men’s violence against women has been documented in multiple settings. Women have faced disproportionate job losses in many countries. Men have died at higher rates from COVID-19 for both biological and social causes. Masculinist responses by some national leaders, and men’s lower propensity to adhere to COVID-19 related health recommendations are also gendered. Resear…
The contradictory possibilities of engaging men and boys in the prevention of men’s violence against women in the UK
Contemporary initiatives to engage men and boys in preventing men’s violence against women in the UK are modest but growing in prominence, and attracting increasing interest from policymakers. This article discusses findings from qualitative research in which expert-informant interviews were carried out with activists playing an influential role in the development of such efforts. It explores how, despite its potential, there are a number of poli…
