What Happens Next?
How Do We Build a Future Where Everyone Feels Safe? | 99 

What if we could actually end gender-based violence? In this eye-opening episode of Monash University’s “What Happens Next?”, Dr Susan Carland and a team of leading experts from Monash and beyond address one of Australia's most urgent social challenges.

You’ll learn why violence against women happens – and more importantly, how we can stop it. These guests – Professor Kate Fitz-Gibbon, former Victims of Crime Commissioner Fiona McCormack AM, Professor Jane Fisher, Professor Steven Roberts, Dr Stephanie Wescott and Associate Professor Charles Livingstone – aren't just talking theory; they're mapping out practical solutions to dismantle the systems that perpetuate harm.

From social media's toxic masculinity problem to the surprising link between gambling and relationship violence, this episode will challenge you to think differently about prevention, showing it's not just about school programs, but transforming our broader culture – workplaces, media and online spaces.

You’ll also learn how to genuinely support victim-survivors in a way that makes them feel heard and puts control back in their hands.

We all play a role in the effort to eliminate gender-based violence. Are you ready to be part of the solution?

Professor Jane Fisher illuminates the complex barriers facing migrant and refugee communities, Professor Steven Roberts and Dr Stephanie Wescott reveal alarming trends in our schools and Associate Professor Charles Livingstone exposes the hidden links between gambling addiction and violence.

Discover how patriarchal systems, economic inequality and modern threats such as social media’s manosphere and technology-facilitated abuse create a perfect storm of violence – and learn why Australia's current response falls dangerously short.

What Happens Next?
Can Good Stories Help Save the Planet? | 97

When it comes to climate change, data alone often fails to inspire action. But across the Indo-Pacific, communities are reframing climate communication by shifting from statistics to human-centred storytelling. This episode of “What Happens Next?” explores how real stories of resilience, innovation and traditional knowledge are adding new plotlines to the narrative of climate change, helping us understand its impacts on a deeper level.

Host Dr Susan Carland speaks with frontline storytellers who are amplifying local voices – from communities adapting to rising sea levels to Indigenous leaders drawing on age-old wisdom to combat environmental challenges. Expert outline how these narratives bridge the gap between global issues and local experiences, making climate science relevant to daily life.

You’ll hear about groundbreaking projects like Monash University’s Global Immersion Guarantee program, which sends students to witness climate impacts firsthand, and RISE (Revitalising Informal Settlements and their Environments), a collaborative effort combining traditional and modern methods to address climate challenges in challenging urban environments. By focusing on the lived experiences of those directly affected, the episode highlights how storytelling can transform climate awareness into meaningful action. 

Tune in to discover why the stories we tell might just help save the planet.
