Career Summary
Biography
Stephanie Hardacre was awarded her PhD in social psychology from the University of Newcastle in mid-2020. Her PhD research explored political solidarity and leadership processes in the context of gender equality, examining how leader gender shapes the capacity of male and female leaders to mobilise individuals for gender equality as a common cause. Stephanie is currently a postdoctoral research fellow within the Research School of Psychology at the Australian National University, working on an ARC-funded Discovery Indigenous project investigating online strategies for increasing the social integration and mental wellbeing of working-class university students. Stephanie is also part of a team at the University of Newcastle’s Centre of Excellence for Equity in Higher Education, exploring the impact of gender-based violence on students’ access to and participation in higher education.

While GBV across the life-course is an extremely prevalent and pressing social problem, it has been invisible within higher education. Indeed, experiences of GBV, which may profoundly shape access to and participation in higher education, are largely perceived as irrelevant to student equity, unless experienced on campus. Institutional silence around the impact of GBV on student equity is related to the gender injustice of misrecognition, whereby the social problem of GBV is located at the personal level. This manifests in the social emotion of shame, experienced at the personal level as disconnection, isolation and not belonging. This paper draws from our analysis of 47 in-depth interviews with student victim/survivors exploring their experiences of higher education to illuminate how deficit discourses and stigmatisation intersect to reproduce gender injustice in higher education.
