Funding cuts, tightening of permanence rules, and removal of 'whole of person' thinking are just some of the gendered risks posed by the current NDIS Bill - for both participants and carers. Via Molly Saunders and me in @aunz.theconversation.com

Women are already less likely to access the NDIS for their disabilities than men and more likely to be carers.

Super happy to finally have this paper out w/ Lorana Bartels & Meredith Rossner - we consider drug court benefits beyond recidivism, arguing that a program should not have to demonstrate *substantially* better outcomes than prison to be preferable to incarceration www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

‘A second chance at life’: broadening views of success in drug courts

A focus on recidivism in drug court evaluation can lead to the presumption that if a program does not significantly reduce recidivism, there is no reason for it to continue. However, this view obsc...

Janine O'Flynn and I teamed up for a chapter on thesis examination in Colette Einfeld and @helencsullivan.bsky.social's book How to Conduct Interpretive Research. We wrote in the 'character' of Janine, adding insights from the interpretive and qual research methods literature doi.org/10.4337/9781...

I studied Buddhism intensely for a decade, and nothing immediately clears my mind of all grasping to thoughts or perceptions like someone trying to tell me the rules to a board game.

Just had an important acceptance email after 1.75 years of data wrangling, drafting, desk rejects, major revisions and everything in between. I won't say persistence is always worth it but it's a good feeling when persistence finally gets you somewhere! 🥲

I show that while there is only one question on the form that a person might answer differently in-person as opposed to online (and without assistance), it is a very important one, and one which is important in determining the level of support they receive from the state.

The answer I give in the paper is that increasingly it is citizens doing the administrative work that was previously done by the state (and also us as customers that are doing the work for private enterprises as well).

My newest paper in the Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law asks a simple question - how is administrative work shifting as we move towards technology-generated interactions, where there is no one around to help us through administrative processes? www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Citizens putting in the work: how administrative work is shifting in the digital welfare state

Current sorting practices in the provision of welfare, used in processes like categorising welfare recipients into cohorts for activation policies, rely on the data inputted into the system. With t...
