Let's talk!
They say a picture tells a thousand words so when Cathy Wilcox draws her cartoons she is often conveying and condensing big ideas for all of us. During the federal election of 2022 Cathy’s cartoons were spot on and we chat with her today about the responsibility of the cartoonist, the fun in caricatures and how it can lose you friends, and how trolling and twitter are a regular part of her job!
Then Jo and Serpil talk with Associate Professor Michael Flood, from the Queensland University of Technology, writer of the book ‘Engaging men and boys in violence prevention’ and we get his take on masculinity, his work on stopping gendered violence and how men and boys can really take charge of creating positive relationships.
