Issue No. 8 of the QUT Centre for Justice Briefing Paper Series has been released, titled, “A great awakening with many dangers: What has the #MeToo movement achieved?”
The proliferation of the global #MeToo movement has been a watershed moment, capturing the global imagination and breaking a longstanding and deafening silence on how those in senior, influential positions harass, humiliate, discriminate, marginalise and bully. Drawing on research addressing workplace sexual harassment and recent commentary on the contours of the online movement, this briefing paper examines the achievements, and also the limitations, of #MeToo and the prospects for galvanising substantial, longstanding workplace change.
Professor Paula McDonald is a member of QUT Centre for Justice, Professor of Work and Organisation and Associate Dean, Research in the QUT Business School. She is also a member of QUT Centre for Decent Work & Industry.
