Intimate Partner Femicide: Contesting the Legal Story (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781032473857)

Bethany Wilkinson is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania, Australia. She is primarily concerned with supporting the realisation of social justice for women who experience male perpetrated intimate partner violence. Her research centres on understandings of intimate partner violence and femicide; and how these understandings determine professional's actions. Bethany has a particular interest in developing a cohesive understanding of intimate partner violence across a variety of disciplines with the aim integrating feminist knowledges into system responses. Her most recent work explores women's agency in recovering from intimate partner violence in all dimensions of their lives: health, recreation, friendship, work or career, family and nourishing and supportive intimate partnership.

Susan Goodwin is Professor of Policy Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia.

Her books include Social Policy for Social Change; Markets, Rights and Power in Australian Social Policy; and Working Across Difference: Social Work, Social Policy and Social Justice. Susan is co-author, with Carol Bacchi, of the book Poststructural Policy Analysis: A Guide to Practice (2016) which offers a way to question how policies, programmes and governmental interventions themselves produce "problems", subjects, objects and places.
