    The manosphere meets the schoolyard: Dr Stephanie Wescott on teachers' experiences of misogyny

    Louis Theroux's new Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere has refocused public attention on how toxic masculinity is incubated online. But what whappens when these often violent, sexist attitudes towards women and girls enter the schoolyard? Dr Stephanie Wescott is a lecturer at Monash University who researches how manosphere figures like Andrew Tate influence gender attitudes in schools. Her new co-authored study reports on teachers' experiences of being harassed and targeted with intimidatory behaviour while at work - a pattern they say is getting worse. It paints a worrying picture of the education system's failure to properly address the problem. Dr Wescott spoke about the study's findings and what can be done both to protect teachers and educate boys about respectful relationships. "The level of violence, the visceral misogyny, and also the impunity or the brazenness with which young people can feel…entitled to do this to teachers…is pretty shocking."

    Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales on trust and lessons for a better world

    Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia written collaboratively by volunteers across the world, has grown to become one of the most visited sites on the internet. Dylan Bird is joined by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales to reflect on the origins of the website, how a radical idea of crowd-sourcing knowledge worked, toxicity on the internet, and what lessons we can draw from Wikipedia in countering division and building trust, as explored in his newest book The Seven Rules of Trust. Jimmy will be in Melbourne for an in-conversation event through RMIT and The Wheeler Centre at The Capitol Theatre on May 20. “At Wikipedia, the community has the tools to control the space … people respond well to that, and it sets a tone that we’re not supposed to be bashing each other; we’re supposed to be working together in a collegial way.” Photo credit: Bloomsbury Publishing.
