“Prevention is profitable too – but its returns flow to everyone through wellbeing, productivity and growth. It doesn’t enrich a small number of powerful stakeholders.”

Photo of book cover: Omar Sakr & Safdar Ahmed NIGHTMARE SEQUENCE Introduction by George Abraham My pick is Omar Sakr and Safdar Ahmed's The Nightmare Sequence (UQP). In a year marked by global levels of violence, both discursive and physical, Sakr and Ahmed use poetry and graphic art to express anger, truth-telling and tenderness.

Jen Webb is distinguished professor emerita of creative practice, University of Canberra.

Fun fact: The Nightmare Sequence was mentioned in The Conversation’s Best Books Of 2025, thanks to Jen Webb. Another fun fact: this is my first book released in Aus, UK, and the US in the same year and so far it’s gotten zero reviews in mainstream papers and outlets.

Also genuinely fascinating/bleak all of the ways that traditional parent-engagement mechanisms within schools are slowly shifting to grandparents because parents are forced to work too much in order to survive to be involved in their childrens' schooling.

Doing some RA work on the side in the primary school education/trauma space and... like, I know this isn't a novel observation per se, but every single interview I conduct adds another layer to my general belief that schools are genuinely one of our most bizarre social systems.
