Problems with society and consent...
"In my experience, when I tell a boy no he keeps trying. It’s messed up that a regular no doesn’t stop a lot of guys. Why is my no not enough and why do they need some explanation as to why I said no?"

When did asking questions stop being a good thing? Here's to curiosity and lifelong learning.

[Zoe Vaill @VaillZoe]

Met some amazingly passionate people at Griffith's MATE Bystander training, great to see the message of stopping abuse before it grows is getting out to so many groups of society. Still lots of work to go though.

A powerful experience which epitomises the idea that students with a disability can only be helped by able-bodied people.

[Disabled Academic Collective @DisabledAcadem]

I am really tired of thanking able bodied people whenever they implement access and accessibility measures. Especially when those measures are required by law. Plan for our inclusion from the outset. And don't expect thanks.

Discovering all the research positions and topic areas I want to work in are in the UK. However a 1 way ticket to London (business class of course) is only $4,250.

After surveying Aussie uni students about their uni's anti-bullying policy, the results are in and published! https://t.co/ngOnYwuk9n
Just in time to submit my PhD too.

[The Centre for Inclusive Education @C4IE_QUT]

✨Half of our unis don’t have bullying policies for students. This is what they need to protect them

A piece in The @ConversationEDU by #C4IE PhD candidate @VaillZoe discusses the prevalence of #antibullying policies at #universities read more here https://t.co/Y6Uqr4weyy

@MarcDePaoli1 I'm so sorry Marc I only just saw this, I am not the most fluent in Twitter.

[Zoe Vaill @VaillZoe]

Doing a literature search it is interesting how language has changed towards disability. In 2005 children experienced Down Syndrome.

[Zoe Vaill @VaillZoe]

My article in The Conversation has been published! Hoping that this will create traction and elicit some needed change. https://t.co/9lhgAjI0V3

[Zoe Vaill @VaillZoe]

I have finally lodged my PhD thesis for examination! I must admit I was expecting to feel more excited or at least relieved about it, but still a great achievement.

[Zoe Vaill @VaillZoe]

Writing a thesis is one thing but reading it before submission for external marking is where the dedication is really determined.

[Zoe Mellick @zoemellick]

No matter how happy and proud I am of my Thesis, it still took me 10 minutes to press the submit button to send it to the final seminar panel.

[Zoe Vaill @VaillZoe]

@C_L_Fox Something that came up in my research was people not identifying when bullying happens. I would suggest you provide situations and ask which are bullying and how far does something have to go to become bullying. Gets students to really think about it.
