Resources
This section includes resources relevant to issues of social justice and the operation of power including written material, organisations, and other blogs. If you know of resources you think could be included, you can let me know by clicking here. I will get back to you when I have looked at the material you suggest.
The following is a non-fiction book I found a useful companion to my novel, Swimming with Sharks. Some of it is particular to an Australian context but much is also more generally relevant. It includes an Appendix of resources relevant to workplace bullying.
Richards, H., & Freeman, S. (2002). Bullying in the workplace: An occupational hazard. Australia: HarperCollins. It is available from this website: http://www.sheilafreemanconsulting.biz/bullying.htm
Here is another non-fiction book on workplace bullying, again published in Australia, but also with content of general relevance.
Caponecchia, C., & Wyatt, A. (2011). Preventing workplace bullying: An evidence-based guide for managers and employees. Australia: Allen & Unwin.
My minor thesis, as follows, also deals with issues of power in a workplace. It is an academic paper drawing on feminist theory, and is available as a pdf file on request (click here).
Beckwith, J.B. (2000). From counselling to client partnership in service delivery: Towards a feminist psychological practice. Unpublished thesis, Latrobe University, Melbourne.
I was sent a link to the following blog by my daughter. It is authored by Caphesuada, Clare, Connie, Rachael, and Aditi, whom I am guessing are around the age of my daughter. I am fascinated by it because of the overlap in issues of interest, albeit through a different generational lens. For example, one of their first posts I read was their response to the movie, The Sapphires, about a group of Aboriginal women who sang for the troops in Vietnam. I had also recently seen the movie with my daughter and we both found it amazing, particularly in relation to race and gender issues.
