Abstract:

This thesis sets out to recover part of women's history by exploring the origin, aims, development, philosophy, approach and activities of a little known women's organisation, namely the British Federation of University Women (henceforth, BFUW), from 1930 to 1957. The thesis is situated within a feminist theoretical framework as well as drawing upon insights from recent developments in women's history. The study is placed, however, within a wider political, economic and ideological setting and does not neglect to highlight women's 'real' lived experiences. The research shows that the BFUW coul

Abstract:

The internationalisation of universities has attracted significant political and even media attention, as well as internal focus. Concurrently, global discourses evolving around the notion of borders, terrorism, security and identity have taken on a renewed significance. Today, the articulation of identities has significant and even dire consequences for many people living in different parts of the world. In Australia, too, the matter of what it means to be ethnic, indigenous, non-indigenous or mixed-race is highly contested, controversial and for some groups of people, in particular contexts,

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to understand and critically discuss gender inequalities in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) as a barrier to full integration. This is achieved through an exploration of current literature, policy and legal documents, and from the point of view of a sample of ADF women. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether constructions of gender devalue, exclude and therefore oppress women in the ADF and to determine whether constructions of gender legitimise the subordinate position of female personnel within the ADF. The study locates the ‘voices’, the experiences, and opin

Abstract:

Irish-born Sir John Winthrop Hackett (1848-1916) achieved substantial political and social standing in Western Australia through his editorship and part-ownership of the West Australian newspaper, his position as a Legislative Council member and as a layman in the Anglican Church. The thesis illustrates his strong commitment to numerous undertakings, including his major role in the establishment of Western Australia's first University. This thesis will argue that whatever Hackett attempted to achieve in Western Australia, his philosophy can be attributed to his Irish Protestant background inc

Abstract:

This thesis comprises two works: a novel ‘Libertine’ and a monograph ‘A writer’s reflection’. ‘Libertine’contemplates the eroticising and brutalising of being, and sex as currency, as need and as sacrament. It is set in a city where war is the norm, nightmare the standard, and ancient deities are called upon to witness the new order of killing technologies. The story is narrated by a woman chosen to be the consort of the General, a despostic war leader who believes that he has been chosen by the goddess Kali. She journeys deep into a horror which exists not only around her, but also within her

Abstract:

This collection of short stories is about being a twenty-something in the 90s, trying to get by, have a little fun and make somewhat of a mark in the process. It’s about the process of growing up, and the seemingly desperate need to hold onto all those youthful pursuits. It’s about finding out that life as an adult tries to suck the life out of you, rather than allowing you to suck the life out of it. That constant struggle, the battle of wills between attending to your needs or just satisfying your wants. This is a time for you when your needs and wants are siblings, bickering in the back of

Abstract:

The neoliberal transformation of higher education has a significant impact upon the careers of academic women. Despite women's inclusion across the organisational hierarchy, neoliberal new managerialism in Australian universities exacerbates gender inequity and inequitable practices in the way it redistributes power and reproduces and reinforces traditional gendered patterns of inequality. A focus on increased gender representation obscures the fact that women's participation continues to be measured and evaluated in relation to male norms of participation, and achievements and women remain la

Abstract:

The gap between hope and happening refers to the experiences of four academic women who work at Milton University (MU), the pseudonym for a regional Australian university. This thesis is concerned with the ways in which discourses circulating within MU shape the performances and discursive positionings of the four women - Alice, Madonna, Veronica and Tamaly (all pseudonyms) - and how, in turn, these women negotiate these discourses. Data are drawn from the womens narratives, university policy documents and selected institutional texts. A feminist poststructuralist lens interrogates both polici

Three major areas of intellectual context are women’s activism, gender performativity, and, agency and competency in environmental advocacy. I argue that gender

The Sport Nexus has been described as an institution that replicates the inequalities of society, where men are considered as first-class citizens (Duncan & Hasbrook, 1988). This notion has implications for how sport women are treated and viewed within the sport industry. This thesis explores the lack of coverage women’s sport has received. It considers how the digital space has provided an alternate avenue for female athletes to establish both their sporting and personal identity, contesting the notions of their inferiority that traditional media has historically perpetuated.

In Sydney, the period between the two world wars was a time of rapid change, when ‘modern’ was considered a goal to which the city and its people should strive. The 1930s were bookended by the opening of the Harbour Bridge in 1932 and the 1938 Sesquicentenary of the First Fleet’s landing, two events that figured Sydney as the triumphant end point of a narrative of national, white Australian progress. This period also saw the publication of a number of novels by Australian women writers that took the contemporary city as their setting and scrutinised urban modernity as a state of being and an

The primary thrust of this thesis is the triumph of local arts practice and community over the powerful nation- building cultural imperatives of a national capital. A complex narrative, informed by rich archival material and interviews, exposes local arts practice as a generative force in Canberra’s cultural development.
