Despite progress, the Western higher education system is still
largely dominated by scholars from the privileged classes of the
Global North. This book presents examples of efforts to diversify
points of view, include previously excluded people, and decolonize
curricula. What has worked? What hasn’t? What further visions do
we need? How can we bring about a more democratic and just academic
life for all? Written by scholars from different disciplines,
countries, and backgrounds, this book offers an internationally
relevant, practical guide to ‘doing diversity’ in the social
sciences and humanities and decolonising higher education as a
whole.

This book examines the complex issue of familicide-suicide - the
murder of a partner and children followed by suicide. The purpose
of the book is two-fold: to advance a feminist sociological
analysis of familicide as a form of gender-based violence, and to
examine how it is reported on in news. The first section
contextualises interpretations of familicide against the dual
ascendancy of - and contestation around - feminist and mental
illness discourses in public policy and debate. Advancing a
feminist sociological analysis of familicide-suicide, it shows the
value of 'continuum thinking' for understanding complex and varied
forms of gender-based violence. Section Two examines Australian
news reporting on familicide-suicide, showing the ways cultural
assumptions about domestic and family violence and mental illness
shape news reporting. It analyses how discourses of gender,
disability, age, and the 'family' serve to rationalise certain news
frames and reflects on the thorny ethical issues inherent in
reporting on familicide. Arguing for a nuanced approach to
gender-based violence and how it is reported, this book will be of
interest for scholars of gender and violence, as well as media and
journalism.
