  • What does home mean for young people in foster care?

    Open Access•Kristin Natalier, Sharyn Goudie et al.•ARTICLE•Housing Studies•2026

    Home has a cultural and personal significance extending beyond physical accommodation. However, young people’s understandings of home when living in out-of-home care have not been the subject of dedicated research. These young people may navigate multiple dwellings, unfamiliar household practices and transient relationships. Even in placement stability, they have typically experienced little say in where and with whom they live. In such contexts,…

  • ‘None of this is homely’

    Open Access•Michelle Jones, Kristin Natalier et al.•ARTICLE•Children and Youth Services Review•2026

    In Residential Care, there was an absence of the experience of ‘home’ as a result of systemic limitations. • Young people with pets in residential care were provided a source of companionship, familiarity, unconditional love (intimacy) and relationship • Greater recognition is needed of the tensions in residential care as both home and workplace, with consideration for how the concept of ‘home’ might temper the presence of the workplace’s presenc…

  • Making, Unmaking and Remaking Home

    Open Access•Sharyn Goudie, Kristin Natalier et al.•ARTICLE•Child & Family Social Work•2025•References: 11

    This paper draws from interviews with 16 foster carers to explore their efforts to make and remake a sense of home for young people in out‐of‐home care. Our findings highlight home as an important idea and a challenge for carers. Home was a deliberate achievement, created through practices that responded to each young person as an individual. Home was also often unstable, unmade through young people's responses to seemingly mundane elements of th…

  • The Meaning of Home for Children and Young People After Parental Separation

    Open Access•Belinda Fehlberg, Bruce M Smyth et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Journal of Social Issues•2025•References: 2

    This article draws on a recent study of the meaning of home for children and young people after parental separation to provide a way of shifting adult attention beyond prevailing focus on the amount of time children spend with each parent, towards a greater attentiveness to children and young people's views on how their living arrangements look and can work effectively for them. Face‐to‐face, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 68 chil…

  • Young Women's Experiences of Violence and Homelessness

    Open Access•Sarah Wendt, Kristin Natalier et al.•ARTICLE•Violence Against Women•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 3

    This article explores the lived experience of young women navigating and surviving domestic and family violence (DFV) and homelessness. Promoting the voices of young women through in-depth interviews, this article considers their story of violence, abuse, homelessness, and sense of safety. Such stories enable reflection on the ability of services to provide personal, material, emotional, and cultural safety in a way that recognizes the intersecti…

  • Safe and Unsafe Housing for Domestic and Family Violence Survivors

    Open Access•Kristin Natalier, Sarah Wendt et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Social Work•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 1

    Safe housing is necessary for women who have left a domestically violent relationship. However, there has been limited attention paid to the meanings of safety beyond refuges and crisis accommodation. This article strengthens the conceptualisation of safe and unsafe housing through a focus on practitioners’ definitions. Our analysis draws from focus groups with 30 practitioners across six services in Adelaide, Australia, working with young women …

  • Informal arts engagement programs in disadvantaged schools

    Open Access•Michael Scott, Kristin Natalier•ARTICLE•International Studies in…•2023•References: 10

    It is widely argued that the arts have a range of cultural, economic, and educational benefits. However, under state austerity arts curricula are devalued in favour of industry skills. To address this gap in arts education, a new type of student focussed informal arts engagement program has emerged. This article draws on a qualitative study of disadvantaged Australian secondary students' experience of an arts engagement program and explores their…

  • African migrant women in the aged care sector

    Open Access•Temi Olasunkanmi-Alimi, Kristin Natalier et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Sociology•2023•Cited by: 3•References: 36

    Existing commentary rarely systematically acknowledges racism in the Australian aged care field. This article begins to address this gap through a detailed focus on the experiences of 30 African migrant women workers, one of the fastest growing groups employed in aged care across Australia. Drawing on data generated through in-depth, semi-structured interviews, we argue that racist micro-aggressions, specifically micro-insults and micro-assaults,…

  • Unsettling maternal futures in climate crisis

    Open Access•Mary Holmes, Kristin Natalier et al.•ARTICLE•Families Relationships and…•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 24

    In this article, we explore the emotionally reflexive processes by which some women build maternal futures in the unsettling context of climate change, aiming to contribute to a better understanding of reproductive (and other) future building as aided by emotions. We analyse the online testimonies of an organisation that raises awareness about the interrelationship between climate change and reproductive decision making. The findings illustrate h…

  • Everyday racism and the denial of migrant African women’s good caring in aged care work

    Open Access•Temi Olasunkanmi-Alimi, Kristin Natalier et al.•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 7

    There is, in the global north, a “care crisis,” a shortfall in the capacity to provide care for an aging population. Migrant care workers have been positioned as a solution to this crisis, but this positioning sits in tension with research highlighting the widespread racism that questions or denies the skills and commitment of migrant care workers. This study draws on the experiences of 30 migrant African women working in the Australian aged care…

  • Institutional transphobia

    Lizzie Maughan, Kristin Natalier et al.•ARTICLE•Gender and Education•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 13

    This paper develops and applies the emergent concept of institutional transphobia to explore the barriers to transgender research in early years education. It argues that institutional processes embed and disguise the logic of transphobia by drawing on dominant, taken-for-granted claims of the inappropriateness or irrelevance of gender-focused education interventions that challenge cis-normativity and heteronormativity. Drawing on the barriers an…

  • Reasonable adjustments? Disabled research higher degree students’ strategies for managing their candidature in an Australian university

    Joshua Spier, Kristin Natalier•ARTICLE•Disability & Society•2021•Cited by: 3•References: 5

    The number of disabled research higher degree (RHD) candidates in Australia and other countries is slowly increasing. However, little research has examined the experiences and perspectives of disabled RHD candidates. To address this gap, we conducted interviews with six disabled PhD candidates at an Australian university, aiming to understand the experiences and challenges of undertaking postgraduate study while living with disability. We present…

  • Exploring separated fathers’ understandings and experiences of ‘home’ and homemaking

    Open Access•Monica Campo, Belinda Fehlberg et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Social Welfare Law•2021•Cited by: 1•References: 7

    This paper considers fathers’ understandings and experiences of home after relationship separation – an issue that has received little research attention to date – through interviews with four separated fathers conducted as part of a larger qualitative study. Key themes to emerge were: the significance attached by participant fathers to home and homemaking through their focus on everyday interactions; the concern that their home might be viewed b…

  • Workplace Violence Against Domestic and Family Violence and Sexual Assault Workers

    Open Access•Kristin Natalier, Natasha Cortis et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2021•Cited by: 1•References: 24

    Violence against social workers and other social service practitioners is prevalent across countries and service delivery settings, often accepted as implicit in working with vulnerable clients. A corresponding scholarly focus on workplace violence, and the factors that affect it, is, however, still developing. This is particularly stark in the domestic and family violence (DFV) and sexual assault (SA) sectors. To address this gap, this article e…

  • Changed Men? Men Talking about Violence and Change in Domestic and Family Violence Perpetrator Intervention Programs

    Open Access•Kate Seymour, Kristin Natalier et al.•ARTICLE•Men and Masculinities•2021•Cited by: 4•References: 36

    This article critically interrogates the ways in which men's talk about domestic and family violence (DFV) and change reproduce gender hierarchies which are themselves productive of violence. Drawing on interviews with men who have completed a perpetrator program and building on the work of Hearn (1998), we show that these men's conceptualizations of change both reflect and contribute to the discursive construction of masculinity, responsibility,…

  • Future Building and Emotional Reflexivity

    Open Access•Mary Holmes, Lynn Jamieson et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 44

    This article sets out a conceptual framework for examining future building as an emotionally reflexive practice of intimacy and gendered agency. Emotionally reflexive future building is a relational activity, subject to gendering but open to queering. We illustrate this by drawing on cases taken from three qualitative studies that deal with the future building of women in relationships that do not conform to norms around having and rearing childr…

  • The Meaning of Home for Children and Young People after Separation

    Open Access•Monica Campo, Belinda Fehlberg et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Social Welfare Law•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 4

    This paper explores 68 Australian children and young people’s understandings of what ‘home’ means for them after their parents’ separation. Home – a familiar yet complex concept of great personal and social significance – has been a research focus for many other disciplines but not family law. We found that home, as an idea and lived experience, was complex. Children and young people’s descriptions of home conveyed an interaction of tangible and …

  • Mothers’ understandings of ‘home’ after relationship separation and divorce

    Open Access•Monica Campo, Belinda Fehlberg et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Social Welfare Law•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 6

    This paper explores 35 mothers’ understandings of home after relationship separation, along with barriers and facilitators to creating home post-separation. No previous research has done so. We found that for mothers, like their children, home was complex and multidimensional, and rarely defined just in terms of physical space. Rather, it was a relational concept, with physical space providing the context for relationships with family, neighbourh…

  • Which Models of Supervision Help Retain Staff? Findings From Australia’s Domestic and Family Violence and Sexual Assault Workforces

    Natasha Cortis, Kate Seymour et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Social Work•2020•Cited by: 2•References: 5

    The contribution professional supervision makes to quality services, staff satisfaction, and retention is well recognised across social work and human service settings. Yet frequent supervision is difficult to provide where organisational resources are limited and urgent client-related tasks must take priority. In these contexts, group-based supervision may offer an alternative to traditional individual approaches, yet its impacts have been infre…

  • What is a good post-separation relationship? The perspectives of Australian parents

    Kristin Natalier, Priscilla Dunk-West•ARTICLE•The Journal of Social Welfare Law•2019•Cited by: 5•References: 3

    Socio-legal research has established the importance of a ‘good’ post-separation parental relationship; however there is little work addressing the definitions and experiences of parents themselves. Thus, we have few insights into how socio-legal expectations align with those of separated parents. This paper draws on interview data from 27 separated Australian parents to explore the question: how do parents define a good post-separation parental r…

  • Relationship Separation and Help-seeking

    Robin Howard, Priscilla Dunk-West et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Social Work•2019•References: 4

    Relationship separation affects many Australians with around 20,000 divorces involving children formalised per year. For profit, government and nongovernment organisations all offer services for separated couples and families. Despite promotion of specialist services such as mediation and child-centred services, which seek to assist families to navigate what is a complex interaction between public and legislative structures, there is little known…

  • Strengthening the Domestic and Family Violence Workforce

    Sarah Wendt, Kristin Natalier et al.•ARTICLE•Australian Social Work•2019•Cited by: 9•References: 2

    The significant impact of domestic and family violence in Australia calls for a workforce that is both highly skilled and capable of meeting the demands of complex and challenging jobs. Yet despite the increasingly national visibility of domestic violence, the workers—and work itself—have largely remained invisible. We argue for a shift in conversation, highlighting the need for a workforce approach that is not only strategic but that also applie…

  • Single Mothers' Post-Separation Provisioning

    Open Access•Kristin Natalier, K Cook et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology•2019•Cited by: 2•References: 30

    This article uses single mothers' pursuit of child support (child maintenance) to examine how the state governs gender through post-separation financial responsibilities. We draw on interview data to detail how the Australian welfare state compels single mothers' child support provisioning through claims work and the associated strategies of managing information, emotions and government workers. Despite their sustained efforts, provisioning affor…

Consumption spaces are categorized here according to the opportunities they provide for stimulating the senses, and focusing empirically on the Australian city of Brisbane, they were found to be …

  • Housing Pathways of Young People Who Have Left Out-of-Home State Care

    Kristin Natalier, Guy Johnson•ARTICLE•Housing Theory and Society•2011•Cited by: 12•References: 5

    As a group, young people leaving care experience multiple forms of disadvantage, including high rates of homelessness and insecure housing. Researchers have described the associated housing and life trajectories in terms of pathways but few have explicitly referenced the metaphor to the interrelationship of structure and agency that is core to Clapham's housing pathways approach. In this paper we draw on semi-structured interviews with 77 young p…

  • Constructing health consumers

    Kirsten Harley, Karen Willis et al.•ARTICLE•Health Sociology Review•2011•Cited by: 11•References: 24

    Significant transformations of the health care services sector over the past three decades have seen an increasing reliance on the private provision of health care services mediated through private health insurance. In countries such as Australia and the UK, private health insurance is promoted as providing a greater choice for individuals and easing the burden on the public system. While these claims, the policy contexts and the decision-making …

  • The gendered framing of Australia's child support reforms

    K Cook, Kristin Natalier•ARTICLE•International Journal of Law…•2013•Cited by: 10•References: 8

    In Australia, as in other jurisdictions, child support has become a political hottopic, and one with the potential to deepen and challenge socio-legal understandingsof masculinity, autonomy, and the legal construction of the fatherfigure. However, to date sociological work on child support reform inAustralia has focused on describing manifest outcomes, with far less emphasison analysing the latent framing of child support as a policy issue. In th…

  • It's Not Just About the Money

    This article explores the question 'Why do fathers resist paying child support?' through interviews with 26 separated or divorced non-residential fathers in Australia. Drawing on Zelizer's typology we argue that the men in this study attempt to define child support as a gift - a payment that emphasizes the power and beneficence of the payer and the obligation of the receiver - but struggle to do so in legal and bureaucratic structures that positi…

Central to motorcyclists' understandings of their pursuit is the celebration of technique and a belief in the ability to control their riding experiences. The importance of the lived experience of riding encourages motorcyclists to marginalize expert systems of knowledge …

    Child support is one of the defining and under-studied elements of single mothering in contemporary Australia. However, the Australian Child Support Scheme is marked by high levels of debt and unreliable, partial and non-payment, which exacerbate mothers' financial insecurity. Most Australian child support research has focused on the amounts and outcomes of payments. Little is known about how and why mothers and fathers make the child support dec…

    Kristin Natalier, Kristin A Natalier•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Studies•2012•Cited by: 3•References: 11

    In thispaper, I present qualitative data on the ways in which 28 fathers contextualise their payment of child support in their relationships with their ex-partners, children and the Child Support Agency (CSA). Fathers described their experience in terms of either loss or resilience. Those in the loss category positioned themselves as victims of their ex-partner’s use of the CSA. They understood their child support obligations as illustrative of b…

  • Means and Ends. Why Child Support Money is not Used to Meet Housing Costs

    Kristin Natalier•ARTICLE•Housing Studies•2012•Cited by: 2•References: 10

    In Australia, as in other jurisdictions, recent legislation and policy addressing child support was introduced as a response to child poverty in single-parent families. However, there has been very little research conducted on the question of how child support money is used by sole parents. This paper extends current knowledge by exploring how— and indeed, if—child support money is a useful resource in meeting the housing needs of the children of…

  • The gendered framing of Australia's child support reforms

    K Cook, Kristin Natalier•ARTICLE•International Journal of Law…•2013•Cited by: 10•References: 8

    In Australia, as in other jurisdictions, child support has become a political hottopic, and one with the potential to deepen and challenge socio-legal understandingsof masculinity, autonomy, and the legal construction of the fatherfigure. However, to date sociological work on child support reform inAustralia has focused on describing manifest outcomes, with far less emphasison analysing the latent framing of child support as a policy issue. In th…

  • Selective hearing

    Open Access•K Cook, Kristin Natalier•ARTICLE•Critical Social Policy•2014•Cited by: 1•References: 22

    In this paper we present a case study of the gendering of evidence in family policy reform. We examine the characterisation of data as legitimate or illegitimate in a recent Australian Inquiry into child support and custody issues. Using critical discourse analysis, we examine how Inquiry committee members interpreted personal anecdotes and social scientific data presented by witnesses. Data were characterised as legitimate when confirming an exi…

  • Separated Parents Reproducing and Undoing Gender Through Defining Legitimate Uses of Child Support

    Open Access•Kristin Natalier, Belinda Hewitt•ARTICLE•Gender & Society•2014•Cited by: 6•References: 29

    The use of child support is a politically and personally contested issue and a policy challenge across developed countries. This offers an opportunity to identify family practices and relationships through which hegemonic masculinity and socially valued femininities are reproduced and challenged. We present data from interviews with 28 fathers and 30 mothers to argue that when people discuss how child support is or should be spent, they are manag…

  • Mothers' experiences of child support

    K Cook, Hayley Mckenzie et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Family Studies•2015•Cited by: 6•References: 2

    Child support is one of the defining and under-studied elements of single mothering in contemporary Australia. However, the Australian Child Support Scheme is marked by high levels of debt and unreliable, partial and non-payment, which exacerbate mothers' financial insecurity. Most Australian child support research has focused on the amounts and outcomes of payments. Little is known about how and why mothers and fathers make the child support dec…

  • Building evaluation capacity in micro community organisations—more burden than benefit

    Open Access•Bridget Doherty, Richard Eccleston et al.•ARTICLE•Evaluation Journal of Australasia•2015•Cited by: 6•References: 2

    Building evaluation capacity in community organisations is promoted as a key means of creating an evaluation culture that will reorient organisations towards identifying and measuring outcomes, demonstrating achievements and enhancing accountability. Building evaluation capacity presents a number of challenges for micro-organisations, including limited resources for evaluation, a low existing evaluation skills base, and, an organisational culture…

  • No Home Away from Home

    Kristin Natalier, Guy Johnson•ARTICLE•Housing Studies•2015•Cited by: 9•References: 30

    This paper explores the cultural and biographical specificity of home by examining the connections between young people's experiences of out-of-home care and their definitions of home. The paper draws on 77 in-depth interviews with young people who had lived away from their families in the Australian out-of-home care system. The paper applies a psycho-social conceptualisation of ‘home’ to argue that home was a crucial symbol through which these y…

  • Institutional processes and the production of gender inequalities

    Open Access•K Cook, Hayley Mckenzie et al.•ARTICLE•Critical Social Policy•2015•Cited by: 5•References: 23

    This article analyses the administrative and research capture of child support data as a case study of how institutional data collection processes are performative in perpetuating gendered inequalities. We compare interviews with 19 low-income single mothers and their longitudinal survey responses from the same research to reveal how low-income women strategically or inadvertently ‘smoothed’ their experiences when responding to data collection pr…

  • Micro-aggressions, single mothers and interactions with government workers

    Open Access•Kristin Natalier•ARTICLE•Journal of Sociology•2017•Cited by: 3•References: 32

    This article analyses single mothers' experiences of Australia's child support bureaucracy, shifting the focus beyond problematic individual interactions to the discourses that shape them. Drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with 37 Australian single mothers, I argue that women's interactions with Department of Human Services - Child Support (DHS-CS) are expressions of gender-focused micro-aggressions. These are interactions that expr…
