Australia 2025 – Wrap-up of the night Good morning, I have been writing this blog post after getting home to wrap my own head around the scale of the count. I expect I will have some issues with the website’s accessibility today,…

Two new additions to my little library today, both first editions (!), both major twists in criminological discourse, and both with a discursive relevance which only seems to grow (in whatever way we might construe that).

It is the era of cross-posting, and we have a podcast out, of all things! 📣

We’ve been cooking this one up for a long time! If you’re interested in non-traditional pedagogies and social theorising this may be for you 👀

Thrilled to announce that I've joined the Criminology team at Deakin as an Associate Lecturer (Education Focused) in an ongoing capacity.

Looking forward to a future of teaching, producing, critiquing, and questioning criminological knowledge within such a stellar discipline ✨

It's new publication day x 2 for @drsophiehindes.bsky.social Jess Ison and me! We reviewed and critically evaluated the literature on LGBTQ+ sexual violence. Article 1 looks at prevalence rates and perpetration of SV for LGBTQ+ people:

On the proximity of the far right and the misuses of the ‘mainstreaming’ metaphor A recent body of work has examined the normalization of far-right ideas and political violence. This is often referred to as the ‘mainstreaming’ of the far right. This article explores some of the ...

Happy to have this out! New article in @identitiesjournal.bsky.social which examines how work on far right ‘mainstreaming’ can sometimes paradoxically exceptionalise the far right even as it attempts to explain how it has become un-exceptional.
