Increasingly, sexual violence scholarship, activism and sector-work emphasises the importance of "survivor-led" or survivor-centred responses to sexual violence. Such responses have emerged as a necessary correction to the historical and ongoing exclusion and silencing of survivor's voices, and to redress the attendant harms caused to many survivors as a result.

However, important questions remain regarding which survivors are able to speak and be heard, and what survivor speech 'does'. In this seminar event, we examine the politics of "survivor-led" responses, and the ways in which these may become both challenging to critique, and bound up in punitive, carceral responses to sexual violence.

Please join us for this free event with Dr molly ackhurst from the University of Greenwich, UK. Dr ackhurst will present her work on "good" feminist subjects and "survivor-led" politics, with Dr Tully O'Neill (LaTrobe University), Jess Oldfield (LaTrobe University/University of Melbourne) and A/Prof Bianca Fileborn (University of Melbourne) acting as discussants, followed by an audience Q&A.

The Tūī Method is an Indigenous approach to restoring and strengthening mauri (vitality) for those working in social services. Inspired by the Tūī, a kaitiaki and spiritual messenger renowned for its extraordinary gift of song, the Tūī Method has three key pillars — hā (breath), oro (sound) and ihirangaranga (frequency). The approach is steeped in pūrākau and whakapapa kōrero, weaving ancestral knowledge into contemporary social services contexts. The Tūī Method equips kaimahi with practical tools to navigate high-stress environments, work effectively in complex situations and across all relationship dynamics, strengthen hononga, and protect their own mauri. This session provides the foundation for a three-part A E U framework.

The session has been designed for both individuals wanting to work on their own hauora and teams wanting to focus on collective hauora. It will be a practical and engaging session. Participants will receive resources and guided audio practices to support continued learning beyond the session.
