- **Event Description**: Aggression, Control and the Roots of Violence: Understanding Masculinity and Power from a Sociological PerspectiveAbout this EventAggression, Control and the Roots of Violence: Understanding Masculinity and Power from a Sociological Perspective.A sociological lecture for practice, prevention, and professional reflection.Presented by Dr Jamilla RosdahlDate: Wednesday 15 April 2025Time: 6:00pm - 7:30pm AESTDelivery Modes: Sydney Campus and OnlineLocation: ACAP Sydney Campus - 255 Elizabeth Street SydneyLevel 1 Lecture Theatre (Please use escalator from Elizabeth Street main entrance)Aggression, Control and the Roots of Violence: Understanding Masculinity and Power from a Sociological Perspective.The ongoing prevalence of aggression, coercive control, and domestic and family violence in Australia has intensified public concern about violence, and underscored the need for effective approaches to prevention and intervention. Practitioners are increasingly expected to respond to these harms while navigating complex institutional, relational, and ethical demands, often without shared language for understanding the gendered power relations that underpin them. In this presentation Dr Jamilla Rosdahl offers a sociological analysis of contemporary violence, situating acts of violence within broader systems of patriarchy, masculinity, and power. Drawing on the work of key social thinkers including Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Hartmut Rosa, Henry Giroux, and Slavoj Žižek, the session examines how dominant constructions of masculinity, processes of discipline and normalisation, and experiences of alienation and loss of meaning, shape men’s relationships to control, aggression, and violence.Grounded in Dr Rosdahl’s professional experience in violence prevention and working with men who have used violence, including within Scandinavian Pr*son-based intervention programs, the session explores international approaches that explicitly name masculinity and patriarchy as conditions of change rather than topics to avoid. Particular attention is given to how men can and do take responsibility for disrupting violence, and to the social and institutional conditions that support meaningful transformation. Participants are invited to develop a deeper sociological orientation to aggression and violence that enhances ethical engagement, critical reflection, and sustained prevention across individual, relational, and structural levels.About the Presenter.Dr Jamilla Rosdahl is a sociologist, violence expert, and gender equity research officer for Unions NSW, specialising in gender, coercive and social control, stalking, surveillance and violence, as well as critical criminology, social philosophy and political thought.
