8:00 Dr Stephanie Wescott is a lecturer in the School of Education, Culture and Society at Monash University Faculty of Education. Her research examines how education practice and policy intersects with and is influenced by current socio-political conditions, and she is particularly interested in how feminist thinking can be used to transform education and schooling. We are joined by Stephanie this morning to discuss the federal government’s three-year project to address toxic masculinity on social media and also talk about the dangerous influence of misogynist influencers.
8:10 Each year, a growing number of people are rejecting the racing industry and are saying Nup to the Cup. Yesterday, I had a chat with Kristin Leigh, who is Communications Director and Volunteer Coordinator at the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses. We talked about the the latest Deathwatch report that provides details on the horses that were killed in racing this year; the increasing public support for this issue; and the actions that people can take to raise awareness and say Nup to the Cup. Listeners are advised that the following conversation makes explicit references to horse injury. Please take care when listening with little ones.
