In our first episode, we unpack what coercive control actually is, how we can really understand it, and why it matters.
To help us we welcome our special guest Dr Lindsay Kelland. Lindsay is a feminist philosopher based in the Allan Gray Centre for Leadership Ethics, Rhodes University (South Africa) where her research covers gender, sexualities, and sexual violence. To find out more about Lindsay’s work click here.
We also hear from members of the VAMHN Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG) and our LEAG Coordinator Lisa Ward. To find out more about the VAMHN LEAG click here.
