Critically examining assumptions about ‘authentic assessments’ when assessing social work interviewing skills
The notion of authentic assessment has dominated higher education discourse in recent years, including in disciplines such as social work. In this article, we critically examine assumptions behind ‘authentic assessments’ drawing on our experience in employing paid actors and peers in assessing the interviewing skills of postgraduate social work students. While peers have long been used in social work education, the use of paid actors is increasin…
Honor, Abjection, and the Politics of Gendered Violence
The protection of male honor through gendered violence is generally considered relevant only to Eastern cultures where patriarchal relations are more visible. This article draws on Bourdieu's writings to explore how concealed forms of male-coded honor and female abjection similarly shape gendered violence in contemporary neoliberal Western contexts. The article also examines the role of female-coded honor in women's responses to violence, demonst…
Gender and Sexuality in Childhood Emotional Abuse
This article reports on a research project that aimed to generate new knowledge about the social dimensions of childhood emotional abuse. The driving research question for the overarching study asked how social context shapes and structures childhood emotional abuse, with the two sub-questions specifically relevant to this paper asking how the severity of childhood emotional abuse might vary according to the gender and sexual identity of victim-s…
Effectiveness of Father-Focused Interventions to Prevent or Reduce Intimate Partner Violence During Pregnancy and Early Parenthood
During pregnancy and the early parenting period, women are especially vulnerable to intimate partner violence (IPV), with devastating impacts on women, children, and families. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the effectiveness of father-focused interventions to prevent or reduce IPV during pregnancy and early parenthood. Six databases were searched, using a combination of the concepts “fathers,” “pregnancy/early parenthood,” “IP…
Imposed and Self‐Imposed Isolation Among Children and Young People Who Have Grown Up in Domestic Abuse
Research about the effects of isolation on women living with domestic abuse (DA) shows that women's mental health and well‐being is negatively affected by the consequences of isolation while enduring DA. Less attention has been given to the effects of isolation for children's health and well‐being when experiencing DA. Based on the voices of young people who grew up in DA, the qualitative study that is the basis for this article asked young peopl…
Understanding motivations and satisfaction with sleep location among co‐sleeping (including bed‐sharing) parents
Progress across ecological systems countering intergenerational transmission of intimate partner violence
With this article we question the universality of the popular truism that intimate partner violence (IPV) between adult partners is transmitted from generation to generation. We illustrate how the concept of ‘intergenerational transmission of IPV’ fails to capture the complex social processes that are likely to influence individuals who experience IPV as children and as they grow. Building on a feminist application of ecological systems theory, h…
What Helps Young People in Australia Create Healthy Relationships After Growing up in Domestic Violence
Purpose This study aimed to discover what enables young people in Australia to create healthy relationships despite exposure to domestic violence (DV) in their families of origin during their formative years. Method Taking an ecological systems theory and mixed qualitative methods approach, a survey was designed to identify different factors that young people recalled as helpful when they were enduring DV as children and, later, as young adults. …
Critical considerations of workplace flexibility “for all” and gendered outcomes
Flexible working arrangements (FWA) “for all, from the CEO down”, have begun to be promoted in Australia, heralded as a means to finally achieve gender equity in the workplace. However, workplaces are gendered spaces in which masculine traits and unconstrained availability are usually highly valued, as encapsulated in the notion of the ideal worker, and women are seen as lacking or “other”. We undertook a study to examine how upper level managers…
Unfortunately I'm a Massively Heavy Sleeper
Expectations for fathers have changed over the past few decades-research has shown that many men express more egalitarian views toward fatherhood and being more involved in parenting, particularly in the caretaking and emotional aspects of parenting. However, despite intentions expressed before parenthood, parenting will often play out along more traditional, gendered lines. In this research, we demonstrate how discourses used by fathers might wo…
I might be a bit of a front runner’
In most western countries, men's use of flexible work arrangements (FWA) is low. Intersections of gender and organizational culture are likely to contribute to this circumstance but have received little attention. This research aims to investigate men's experiences of FWA use and non‐use to understand contextual factors influencing men's decisions and how men construct their identities in relation to work, parenting and FWA. Based on semi‐structu…
