Description: As a sociologist of religion and gender and an expert in the field of historic institutional child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, McPhillips have taught this difficult topic to hundreds of undergraduate students over the last seven years as well as supervised postgraduate students undertaking research in this area. She position the child sexual abuse issue as a discourse of power and knowledge, and she aims to provide students with ongoing tools of analysis to understand the phenomenon of institutional abuse as a social and historical construction. First, she situate the child sexual abuse crisis in the larger context of institutional legitimacy and authority in modernity. In her classes, she employ multiple kinds of resources for teaching this topic, which she finds useful in ensuring that students have access to a wide variety of sources.
