Religious freedom, LGBT+ employees, and the right to discriminate.
Australian Research Council25 Feb 2020 - 31 Dec 2024
People funded by this grant: Ezzy D, Rice S, Dwyer A, Richardson-Self L, Beaman L
Project Total: $575,000; The project will contribute to Australia's national interest through identifying effective Australian policies and practices for managing religious freedom and LGBT+ rights in the workplace. This addresses a pressing contemporary social and cultural issue. In the medium to longer term, the research will provide economic and social benefits through identifying ways in which religious freedom and LGBT+ rights can be successfully negotiated in the workplace so as to inform institutional decision-making and public dialogue. Our comparative research will place Australia in the context of other modern democracies' responses to religious freedom and LGBT+ rights. The research will enhance the international visibility of uniquely Australian solutions to these complex issues. Funded by: Australian Research Council - Grant-Discovery Projects ($575,000); University of Tasmania ($15,000).
GRANT
Hate Speech against Women Online
Australian Research Council15 Feb 2019 - 31 Dec 2024
People funded by this grant: Richardson-Self L
Project Total: $390,478; Women are subjected to many forms of attack online. This project aims to theorise online gendered hate speech against women, using a powerful emerging conceptual framework: social imaginaries. Expected outcomes include new understandings of a salient social issue, and nuanced evaluations of legal and extra-legal responses: which can be justified, and which are most effective? Also expected are substantial benefits to scholarship at the intersection of four domains: hate speech theory, feminist philosophy, the social imaginaries literature, and the online misogyny literature. The project promises enduring international and national benefits, serving Australia's social and cultural commitment to women's equality and to improved cybersecurity. Funded by: Australian Research Council - Fellowship-Discovery Early Career Researcher Award ($390,478); University of Tasmania ($164,295).
