Today is the last day of the Future Fellowship that I’ve been doing for the last five years. If any of the work we’ve done in thinking about queer in Indigenous lives, creativity, the colonial project of gender and everything else has had an impact on your work or life I’d love to hear from you.

Does anyone on this platform know of research that has attempted to evaluate the contribution of #criticaltheory in achieving its goal of liberation and emancipation?

It was my first sociology conference, and I think what I liked most about #TASA2025 was learning how diverse social science scholars integrate natural sciences literature and interpret it from social theory perspectives, e.g. sessions on youth and health.

Phrase of the year at #TASA2025 is reimagining futures. Everyone is reimagining.

7yrs ago (18 Nov 2018) on World Day for the Prevention of and Healing from Child Se*ual Exploitation, Abuse, & Violence, I made the decision to publicly share my story. Speaking out was a 1st critical step in beginning to reclaim my voice. There's been progress but we can't step back. #endchildabuse

Today is #NationalSurvivorDay #everyvoice #supportsurvivor #csa #survivor

“Over a dozen Labor MPs, including senior figures in the party, have told ABC Investigations they want action on gambling reform.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

For the critical sport scholars - this includes an examination of women's view on sport betting/ gambling 👇🏻

In loving memory of Virginia Giuffre - solidarity with all victims and survivors of these two men, and all those impacted by institutional decisions and silence. #safesport #princeandrew #volleyball #beachvolleyballl #adelaide2025

13-year-old boy murdered by his soccer coach. The coach had prior allegations of sexually assaulting a child. How did this happen? Did SafeSport and U.S. Soccer know about the allegations before he murdered a child? www.latimes.com/california/s...

Excited to announce new research funding partnership with the National Centre for Action on Child Sexual Abuse for a collaborative project with people with lived experience of child abuse in sport, to improve the community sport sector response to child abuse. #childabuse #abuseinsport #safesport

Here's some behind the scene of our project examining how the Australian sport integrity system does/ doesn't respond to gender based violence in sport. You can follow more of my work and advocacy on my insta! www.instagram.com/sportsurvivo... #safesport #abuseinsport #gbv #genderbasedviolence

A kind reminder to those researching violence and discrimination (researchers and research funding bodies) - when asking people to join your research project so that they share their experiences of discrimination, abuse and violence, you absolutely need to financially compensate these people. 1/2

In light of yesterday's horrendous comments against the Matildas and all women and girls in sport, I'm just going to post one photo. Dear Marty, any year 10 girl has more morals than you do. #womensport #misogyny #matildas

En tant que signataire de cette tribune, je continue d’apporter mon soutien aux sportives qui portent le voile et défendent leur droit de jouer. #basketpourtoutes #sportpourtoutes www.nouvelobs.com/opinions/202...

The intense scrutiny over Sam Kerr's future in sport and its implications for player leadership—compared to the far less critical attention given to men who have actually been abusive toward women and young people in sport—is baffling.

Mental health is not the absence of so called mental 'disorders'. We need a neurodiversity paradigm shift. This has been advocated for a long time and by many before me.

This nuanced and critical analysis of Gisèle Pelicot's heroic status was much needed in the middle of a very overwhelming media coverage. Thanks @rokhayadiallo.bsky.social for this. #GiselePelicot 1/ amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.theg...

Very much looking forward to Mary presenting our work. This specific research focused on developing and evaluating the effectiveness of a theory-based educational intervention designed to enhance volunteers’ ability to respond to diverse forms of child abuse in sport. #safesport #childabuse

#CSA #Childsexualabuse A new, very concerning story about J.Silbury currently coaching @ Cheltenham Youth Club in Melbourne dropped this morning. Silbury is coaching despite a) him being fired from MLCGym Club for being accused of sexually abusing teenage girls 1/ www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Just to drive home the point: Research into misinformation strongly suggests that you do not repeat lies, even to debunk them. Don't quote tweet or screenshot lies. Paraphrase or say someone said something false or objectionable, but repeating lies helps to spread them.

We had a #friendsgiving dinner last night and we aren't recovering very well today. #dogsofbluesky #skydogs

#droitsdesenfants Je commente en tant que victime de violences sexuelles, perpétrées par mon entraîneur de basket (30 ans à l'époque) quand j'avais entre 15 et 18 ans, pour démontrer la limite de la loi sur l'attestation d'honorabilité et l'importance de développer d'autres mesures de prévention 1/

Our team's work on #childabuse prevention in sport will be featured in Mary's newsletter ✊🏼👇🏼

Linda McMahon, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for education secretary, has been accused in a lawsuit of failing to stop a ringside announcer for World Wrestling Entertainment from grooming and sexually abusing children in the 1980s and 1990s.

Here's probably the cutest thing you'll see today #dogsofbluesky #skydogs

Do you work in the sexual assault sector or provide support to survivors of child sexual abuse? We want to hear about your experiences with survivors of online child sexual abuse and exploitation. Pls fill out this brief survey! (Just for Australians) unsw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

The former coach of the Australian Men's Rugby Team, Alan Jones (an inductee in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame), has been charged with multiple counts of assault & sexual abuse. The charges involve 9 men, 1 of whom was a boy at the time. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

I appreciate those who have been posting today about #InternationalMensDay with a specific focus on male survivors of child sexual abuse #CSA because enhancing their voices, healing and justice is a key part in advancing towards equity for women, girls and gender diverse people

Again, totally not sure if I'm doing this right! Here's a starter pack of Australian and Kiwi sport researchers - shout out below if you would like me to add you or others to the list as they start to pop up here go.bsky.app/5sv3gYP

“Inclusion requires listening, collaboration, and a commitment to designing spaces that support all people without placing additional burdens on those with unique needs. For autistic people, this means considering our sensory, social, and emotional needs as fundamental.”

So what's the posting verb replacing the tweet? "I'm skying" "I'm blueing" - asking for a friend.

Hi 👋🏼 I'm Aurélie, I'm a Research Fellow at Victoria University in Naarm (Melbourne Australia). I research child abuse prevention in sport with a focus on lived experience engagement. I'm a CSA survivor-advocate myself. I work at the intersection of public health, sport management and sociology.

Good to be back on a platform that looks like the good all times of the blue Birdy, i.e. Pre the person I won't name.
