Macca and Fiona talk to Giselle Woodley Research Assistant & PhD Candidate, School of Arts and Humanities, Edith Cowan Uni.
The New South Wales government has announced the first state-led inquiry into the “impacts of harmful pornography”. The negative framing of the inquiry risks revisiting old arguments, rather than advancing the debate and policies.
Much of this debate has centred around the potential harm to teenagers, but very few people have interviewed teens about it. As part of our research, we asked teens about their experiences of porn and found many have a nuanced understanding of the risks, but also the benefits.
Giselle Woodley is a PhD Candidate and researcher under the School of Arts and Humanities at Edith Cowan University in Australia. She is currently investigating teens’ perspectives of Sexually-Explicit Materials (SEM), including pornography and their experiences of their Relationships and Sexuality Education (both at home, school and online). Giselle is a sexologist and has a background in Arts and Media. Giselle also works as a researcher under the School of Population Health at Curtin University investigating sexual violence and primary prevention strategies.
Giselle is a co-founder of Bloom-Ed (https://www.bloom-ed.org/) a Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) advocacy group. She is particularly interested in the benefits of RSE and real solutions that work in relation to these issues which ultimately increase individual wellbeing, supports healthy relationships and reduces sexual violence.
