Alan Jenkins, NADA Consulting presents ‘Working with Fathers in Family Violence – Generativity in Practice’ at the ‘New ways of working: Queensland Gendered Violence Practitioner Forum’ hosted by QCDFVR in Brisbane.

Alan has worked in a range of multi-undisciplinary teams addressing violence and abusive behaviour for more than 30 years. Rather than tire from this work, he has become increasingly intrigued with possibilities for the discovery of ethical, respectful and accountable ways of relating. The valuing of ethics, fairness and the importance of protest against injustice has led him to stray considerably from the path prescribed in his early training as a psychologist, towards a political analysis of abuse.

In this presentation Associate Professor Hillary Haldane explores responses to sexual violence through an applied research lens… this is, indeed, research “from the ground up”…

Hillary has published two books and numerous articles and book chapters on the problem of gender-based violence, as well as policy papers for addressing violence at the international and national levels.
