Acknowledgements
The authors wish to thank the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of Western Australia and the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery for making possible a panel discussion on Flirting and Feminism which, held in May 2016, brought together the authors and colleagues to consider the issues addressed in this book. We are particularly grateful to Susan Takao for initiating this event and to Carla Adams and Susan Maushart for engaging us in these important debates. Finally, we are very much indebted to Chris Beasley who not only contributed to the original panel discussion but has subsequently guided us in the journey of debate, interrogation, and investigation of this topic.
