In this episode, we dip our psychological toes into the world of sociology and gender studies by chatting with Professor Alison Phipps (Newcastle University) about sexual violence.

It's certainly a serious topic, but we try to tackle it with humour as Alison and I are old school friends who can be open and honest with each other. I ask Alison to summarise her last book, ‘Me Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism’ and also her upcoming book, ‘Sexual Violence in Racial Capitalism’, and I get to ask lots of ‘dumb’ questions in my attempt to understand this complex topic.
