Pleased to share my new piece in IJSL on how criminal law names gendered harm - and what those categories make visible (and invisible).
Naming Gendered Harm: Criminal Law and the Semiotics of Legal Categories

My piece for The Conversation on why NZ’s limitation laws still block justice for abuse survivors - and how we continue to lag behind Australia on reform.
Time limits on civil claims of historical abuse deny justice and silence victims. Law reform would bring NZ into line with Australia and remove barriers to redress. @ZPrebble theconversation.com/the-roya…
I first wrote about civil time bars and historic abuse in 2019, after the Mariya Taylor case. The Royal Commission's final report gave me hope that things might finally change. A year later, nothing has moved. Survivors are still being told it's too late.

This is one of the clearest free speech cases NZ has ever seen. Attacks on free speech are about state power being used against the public to stop them speaking out. This is more the case here than ANY bad faith examples ACT has supported over the decades

Italian, taught at VUW for one hundred years, gone. Latin and Greek, gone. Physical Geography, gone. Geophysics and Graphic Information Systems, gone. Other subjects diminished. These are losses for us all.

The cost of study is only increasing - exercise your voting power as a student block and reimagine a different future.

University daycares are key to helping parents succeed at university. Our campuses are incredibly unchild friendly and these daycares have been one of the few things that unis can claim they do. Come on @AUTuni do better by your students who are parents.

Lecturer of the Year!! 😲😊#VUWSA
#VicUniWgtn might not value me much right now, #TEUonSTRIKE but my students do, and that means a lot. Thanks to them ✌️🙏

I love the job I do. But one of the reasons I joined the strike was because it made me realise what I thought were my individual struggles (i.e.working almost every evening and weekend without recognition) are actually structural problems that my colleagues face too. #VUWStrike
Today's action is a social media campaign: let the @WellingtonUni community know why you went on strike. Perhaps the NZ Vice-Chancellors' Committee (@UniversitiesNZ) can learn why real talks with @chrishipkins are needed? @nzteu #TEUOnStrike #VUWStrike #VUW Be civil but be clear!

Pedagogy questions are inseparable from labor conditions questions.
Teaching philosophies are inseparable from labor politics.
Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions.
Addressing pedagogy without addressing labor is, in the big picture, useless.

After the #VUWStrike rally, I walked home in the sun, then cleaned my bathroom. I cleaned my bathroom bc I hadn't been able to for weeks due to full weekends spent working overtime for #VicUniWgtn. Thank u 4 suspending me & docking my pay in return. Solidarity w #TEUStrike ✊
This afternoon, I will be one of the many @VicUniWgtn folk, along with colleagues at other universities, downing tools and striking for fair pay. Sadly, staff have been taken for granted, especially during the pandemic. #VUWstrike #TEUonstrike

We talk about how junior faculty (esp faculty of color and women) get pulled into all the additional service work. We don't talk enough about the necessity and lure of that work. Real talk: there was a reason I kept saying "yes" to all that stuff when I should have said "no."
Sharing a recommendation via my friend Tania Te Whenua: If you are Māori and interested in expanding your professional networks into Canada, consider enrolling in this free 6-week (2-hours per week) virtual indigenous to indigenous professional exchange. indigi-x.com/
The kaupapa you focus on could be anything from indigenous responses to climate change to rangatiratanga and robot technology. You're limited only by the scope of your vision and expertise.
