Excellent- More about Putting Feminism to Work: Theorising Sexual Violence, Trauma and Subjectivity
This book explores the place of feminism and the uptake of trauma in contemporary work against sexual violence, presenting a refreshing alternative position on arguments about the co-optation or erasure of feminism within institutionalized, professionalized services for sexual assault victims. It demonstrates how feminist concepts and ideas have become routinized in contemporary services and enacted in daily practices with survivors and communities, engaging with the notion that feminist engagement with knowledge (trauma) based in psychiatry and clinical psychology is incompatible with feminism.

This book delves into the intricate relationship between feminism and the response to trauma in contemporary contexts, particularly in the realm of addressing sexual violence. Author Egan offers a thought-provoking perspective on the debates surrounding the co-optation or erasure of feminism within institutionalized professional services for survivors of sexual assault. Through extensive original research on Australian sexual assault services, Putting Feminism to Work vividly showcases how feminist concepts and ideals have seamlessly integrated into modern services and become part of daily practices with survivors and communities. The book engages with and challenges the notion that feminist engagement with knowledge derived from psychiatry and clinical psychology is inherently incompatible with feminism or inevitably leads to the reduction of sexual violence to a matter of individual healing. Egan argues compellingly that the productive ways practitioners integrate neurobiological understandings of trauma into their work present abundant opportunities for reintroducing a non-essentialist biology of the body into feminist theories of sexual violence. This book is of immense interest to scholars, students, and practitioners engaged in the fields of violence against women, sociology, women's and gender studies, health, social work, and policy studies, as well as the emerging field of sociologically informed trauma studies.
