CALL FOR CHAPTERS - INTERNATIONAL EDITED BOOK

 

We (Bridget and Jess) are seeking submissions for an edited book proposal(tentatively to be published early-mid 2025) on justice, technology and domestic and family violence / abuse. Domestic and family violence is understood as a pattern of coercive and controlling behaviours and gendered violence, with women overrepresented as victim-survivors and men as perpetrators. 

 

We note that children; gender and sexually diverse peoples; peoples with disabilities; and migrant, refugee and First Nations are also overrepresented as victim-survivors and have distinct (un)met needs and challenges when seeking assistance and responding to violence. There is a section of the book allocated to diverse, at-risk and vulnerable cohorts, but we hope that there is consideration of this in other sections of the text

 

Of particular interest is:

 

  • Survivor experiences or perspectives on state responses to technology-facilitated abuse or use of technology by state agencies - this could be in the form of poetry, submissions, text or other formats. Other forms (e.g. planned visual submissions) may be possible (please email the editors to discuss). 
  • Regulation of technology-facilitated abuse (legal and other justice responses).
  • Interservice responses to technology-facilitated abuse / uses of technology to respond to domestic violence (such as interagency death review and risk assessment / management, safety planning / technology clinics).
  • The use of technology in preventing, policing and punishing domestic violence offences / offenders.
  • Examinations of state (police, court, corrections) responses to technology-facilitated abuse / state uses of technology.
  • Critiques of state (police, court, corrections) responses to technology-facilitated abuse, or the use of technology to prevent, police and punish domestic violence offences / offenders, including abolitionist visions and alternative justice responses.

 

  • Understanding how technology is weaponised against or harnessed by diverse, at-risk and vulnerable cohorts, and how this impacts their justice needs.

 

We are keen to hear about innovative uses of technology. State (and alternative) uses of technology may include (but are not limited to) body-worn video cameras, remote video cameras in court settings, virtual reality applications for perpetrator or practitioner programs. Alternative uses of technology may include (but podcasts, social media etc) and other applications.  

 

Chapters will be 5000-7000 words in length, unless otherwise specified or discussed. Submission from survivors, early career researchers, advocates, practitioners and established scholars are encouraged. This text will incorporate diverse perspectives and experiences from various jurisdictions, including the Global North and Global South


Please submit abstracts that are a maximum of 200 words, and biographies of contributors that are between 50-100 words in length by 31st August, 2023 to bridget.harris@monash.edu  AND woolleyj@deakin.edu.au Queries are welcome (please email Bridget and Jess).

 

Please share this call with anyone who may be interested in contributing (thanks in advance).  

 

Kind regards,

Bridget and Jess
