⭐️ Last week, we had the privilege of hosting Professor Catharine Lumby and Emma Jones for our weekly Formal Dinner.

They joined our student Guest Speaker Secretary Siena Fagan for a discussion about the rise of the ‘manosphere’, online misogyny, and how these issues are shaping conversations about gender and sex today.

Catharine is a Professor of Media at the University of Sydney, has worked as a Gender Advisor to the NRL, served on the board of Full Stop Australia, and is a regular commentator on representations of women in media

Emma recently graduated from the University of Sydney with first class honours. Her thesis explored the influence of Jordan Peterson, who she describes as the ‘gateway’ to online misogynistic content.

We’re grateful to both Catharine and Emma for sharing their knowledge and sparking important conversations within our student community.
