4. The Bystander Moment - The #MeToo movement has shined much-needed light on the pervasiveness of sexual harassment and abuse and created unprecedented demand for gender violence prevention models that actually work. The Bystander Moment tells the story of one of the most prominent and proven of these models - the innovative bystander approach developed by pioneering scholar and activist Jackson Katz and his colleagues at Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society in the 1990s.
5. Ms Represented - One hundred years after Australia elected its very first female parliamentarian, Annabel Crabb presents Ms Represented, a raw and honest account of politics from the female perspective.

Congratulations to Associate Professor Melissa Crowe and Dr Diana Mendez who have achieved international recognition for their work in the Cohort Doctoral Studies Program with First Place for Making Opportunities for Mothers in Academia (MOMA) Changemaker award in the category of University/Institution. The award was bestowed by the International Association of Maternal Action and Scholarship (IAMAS) and presented at the IAMAS conference in Chicago on 12th March 2023. The award recognises the outstanding achievements supporting mother scholars to undertake and complete research degrees.
The Cohort Doctoral Studies Program has supported 30 mothers of school-age children or younger to complete a research degree and is currently supporting a further 32 mothers. The majority of these mother scholars are working part or full time in addition to studying and raising a family. The success of the mother scholars is evidenced in the 135 peer-reviewed publications, $2.7 million grant income and 5 joint mother publications that have been produced by this group.
Melissa and Diana expressed their honour and gratitude at receiving this award. They would like to thank Sarah Jackson, one of their amazing Cohort Program mother scholars, who nominated them for the award and recognise the Roderick Trust who have financially supported the Cohort Doctoral Studies Program since its inception in 2011.
As busy mums working in academia, Melissa (mum of 4 daughters) and Diana (mum of 1 daughter) provide role models to other mothers balancing academia with raising a family. They provide an environment within the Cohort Program that draws upon the strengths of mothers to achieve their research aspirations.
