The Psychology of Sexual Violence
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we dip our psychological toes into the world of sociology and gender studies by chatting with Professor Alison Phipps (Newcastle University) about sexual violence.
It's certainly a serious topic, but we try to tackle it with humour as Alison and I are old school friends who can be open and honest with each other. I ask Alison to summarise her last book, ‘Me Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism’ and also her upcoming book, ‘Sexual Violence in Racial Capitalism’, and I get to ask lots of ‘dumb’ questions in my attempt to understand this complex topic.
