Within scholarship and public discourse, the concepts sex work and sexual violence are often conflated.

With the growing importance of identity development, it is important to see the intersections that occur with one's identity as both a leader and as bisexual.

We use computational methods…

Research on violence in schools has been dominated by 'bullying' discourse and methodologies that place individualised pathos at the centre of problematic behaviours.
