Here we set out to explore how the psy- disciplines currently manifest and operate as significant cogs in the teacher education machine. Responding to Law and Urry's (2004) call for a more "messy" social science, we offer an impressionistic assemblage ethnography, where we pick up and consider the psy -disciplinary cogs that we happen upon in our everyday lives as lecturers in Australian initial teacher education. We offer an incomplete list of some of these cogs, and indicate the ways in which they uphold psy-disciplinary knowledges, and the psy-gaze, as relevant and significant. We conclude by reflecting on the implications for possible interventions into the machine.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:14 AEDT ]]> Romantic terrorism?

The methodological approach taken by the authors is analytic rather than evocative, in the sense that we focus on collaboratively analyzing our dual experiences, rather than simply narrating them. We occupy the dual role of researcher and researched, and turn our gaze both inward and outward (Olson, 2004: 6). The academic and theoretical are intertwined with the personal and subjective to elicit an evocative and yet empirically validated study. The theoretical underpinnings of romantic love distortion, misogyny and sexism are used to frame these experiences of domestic violence and the differing sexualities of the authors provide a rich context for exploring the ways in which domestic violence victimization experiences are impacted by gender, sexuality, and heteronormative discourses of love, sex and relationships.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:33 AEDT ]]> The qua-problem and meaning scepticism https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29851 Mon 18 Mar 2019 15:13:32 AEDT ]]>
