A critical reading of the Abbotsford Convent complex
The article utilises an auto-ethnographic approach to examine the former Abbotsford Convent and Sacred Heart Complex, which incorporated the Magdalene Asylum, a reformatory for young offenders and the Industrial School for neglected children, in inner-suburban Melbourne, Australia, from the auto-ethnographic standpoint of the lead author, a former ward of the State of Victoria. The “repurposing” of the Convent complex in recent years to accommoda…
Activism and institutional care
The activist movement led by adults who experienced welfare-based 'care' as children is now several decades old, and has been through a succession of evolutionary 'waves' to the present.In this themed edition of International Journal of Heritage Studies, the history, diverse methodologies and outcomes of that movement are discussed and analysed.From grass-roots 'kitchen-table' beginnings, through increasingly public lobbying of policy-makers, to …
The Australian orphanage museum
Hundreds of thousands of Australians live with the dire aftermath of having been institutionalised as children in the national ‘Care’ network of orphanages and children’s homes. In 2023 the Australian Orphanage Museum (AOM) was opened, both to memorialise the experiences of children whose early lives were blighted by out-of-home Care (OOHC), and to facilitate activism aimed at gaining justice for those now-adult Care-leavers. The article in part …
Delinquent Girls as Activists
The article examines the motivation and role of the insider activism that resulted in the preservation of a major historical site of female incarceration, the Parramatta Female Factory Precinct, in suburban Sydney. For much of the 20th century the site was a “Girls’ Home,” in which children who had committed no offense were incarcerated under child welfare regulations and literally treated like criminals. Life in the institution was characterized…
Teaching white privilege
The teaching of white privilege in Australian tertiary settings is beset by a number of obstacles arising especially from resistance, disbelief and outright obstructionism in white students, and occasionally colleagues. The article summarises the historical and societal context regarding race relations, racism and white hegemony in Australia, then presents the personal accounts of three academics of diverse backgrounds who teach white privilege a…
Child Protection Hypothetical Case Studies for a Virtual Archive
For children in out-of-home care (OOHC) and adults who experienced OOHC as children, the records compiled by care workers, social workers and other relevant personnel present multiple ongoing problems. The records often embody deeply contested narratives that may include distortions and misinterpretations of facts, judgemental inferences, moralistic attitudes and other problematic aspects that can leave the care leaver at best ill-served and at w…
Woke Disrupter
This article examines one of the most dangerous personifications of white supremacy, the Woke Vigilante - the 'liberal do-gooder' and the social work profession's role in their creation. White supremacy is frequently named to identify overt racism and discrimination by hate groups, ultra conservatives and increasingly throughout the government. There is another breed of white supremacy which lies beneath the surface and believes itself to be an a…

Hope Street
In the early 1980s, one of the authors became an adolescent ward of the State of Victoria, Australia, and went into out-of-home care. While in care, repeated encounters with researchers, journalists and policy-makers left her disillusioned as to the efficacy and relevance of their activities, in that although she was sporadically provided with a ‘voice’, this did little to bridge the divide between their world of privilege and the non-privileged …
Inclusive archives and recordkeeping
Archival practices must now reflect both advances in information technology, and the ethos of inclusivity that assures that the subjects of records have full opportunity to participate in the memory-making process, and to ‘own’ the resulting records. This themed section presents four articles demonstrating various ways in which this is being done or could potentially be done, and why it is needed. The articles model new and innovative modes of ar…
The tacit semantics of 'Loud Fences
In 2015, in response to harrowing accounts of child sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic clergy in the town of Ballarat, a campaign of public support was launched in the form of coloured ribbons attached to the fences of institutions where the abuse had occurred. The “Loud Fence” campaign has become a global form of protest and commemoration. Institutions’ reactions were varied; some removed the ribbons, to find them promptly replaced, with atte…

In search of academic legitimacy
Much has changed since the 1960s when the first scholarship on contemporary graffiti appeared. The current paper is an attempt to outline and contextualize a number of recurrent challenges facing researchers of graffiti and street art, as well as developments that have taken place in this scholarly field. The aim of creating this outline is to assist in increasing the amount, and improving the quality, of future scholarship on graffiti and street…
A History of Australian Schooling

Ambient Hate
This article examines racist street graffiti found in the rural city in which the author lives, especially in the environs of schools. Local authorities' commitment to the timely removal of such graffiti is questioned, and the ambiance in which expressions of hate are considered an unremarkable aspect of the social environment is examined. As Australia experiences influxes of migrant and refugee groups, plus increasing numbers of temporarily‐resi…
Beyond the Walls
Women's and children's welfare and institutionalisation are a neglected area of Australian public history, and the historic sites which operated as carceral venues within that field today stand largely forgotten, in many cases derelict. The prime example of such sites is the Parramatta Female Factory Precinct (PFFP). In practice, Australian women's and children's welfare was strongly focused on a punitive approach, resulting in many thousands of …
Australian Prison Tourism
The article discusses the special nature of prison tourism in Australia, given the nation’s origins, just over two centuries ago, as a penal colony, and the significant role thus played by convicts in the development of Australian society. Prison tourism is also examined as almost the only type of ‘dark tourism’ widely undertaken within Australia. It is argued that a combination of prevailing social attitudes and the influence of certain stakehol…
Books
There is no more imposing figure in the history of Australian anthropology than W.E.H. ('Bill') Stanner (1905-1981). While some of his contemporaries produced more ethnography, none matched his skill and eloquence in describing the life-worlds of Aboriginal people. While others of his age were just as closely involved in arguing for the defensibility of Aboriginal society, none did so with such convincing passion. With these two legacies in mind,…
Adolescent resistance narratives in a satirical schoolyard
The Australian ‘mockumentary’ Summer Heights High depicts a fictional secondary school. Among the protagonists are archetypal adolescents – male and female – whose relationships with the institution and their peers may be interpreted as resistance narratives. Although purportedly satirical representations, the characters are depicted with striking realism; as such, it is argued, they may serve as models for analysis of the school environment. Thi…
Retaining a foothold on the slippery paths of academia
This paper examines indirect discrimination in Australian universities that tends to obstruct and delay women’s academic careers. The topic is defined and contextualised via a 1998 speech by the Australian Human Rights Commission’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner, juxtaposed with a brief contemporaneous exemplar. The paper discusses the prevalence of women among casual and fixed‐term academic workers, and the contrasting low numbers of women in s…

Racist and Political Extremist Graffiti in Australian Prisons, 1970s to 1990s
The article discusses graffiti found in Australian prison museums, in particular racist and extreme nationalist texts and images. The rise of prisoners' rights movements brought a concurrent reactive move to the political Right among prison officers. This enabled far‐Right and racist elements among staff to become influential in a number of prisons. Similarities are noted between Australian prison graffiti and graffiti found in British prisons in…
Dark tourism and the celebrity prisoner
This article discusses two very different entities utilising Goffman's vocabulary of dramaturgy, and examine the links between the two. One entity is an institution: Pentridge Prison, the former maximum-security jail in Melbourne's northern suburbs. The other is a 'celebrity' whom, the author argues, a considerable portion of the general public has come to associate with Pentridge's evolving postoperational front region, and who is arguably its m…

Invisible Racism
This article examines the uses of the term `White Trash', as a descriptor for identifiable sectors in the United States and Australia. Through consideration of those sectors' history, status and culture, questions of race are addressed with a view to determining to what extent and in what way(s) the term stands as a form of racism. An anecdotal Australian example is employed to introduce the concept and outline the social and linguistic parameter…
Representing Pentridge
This article examines the proposed popular historical interpretation of the decommissioned Pentridge Prison, in the course of its redevelopment as a residential and commercial precinct. The interpretation is judged to have been ‘appropriated’ by a ‘gatekeeper’ group comprising former prison officers in partnership with the commercially motivated site owners. In the process, it is argued, a wide range of ‘alternative’ narratives are excluded from …

Pecking orders
The article examines male and female inmate graffiti in a decommissioned Australian jail, a holding facility attached to the former Melbourne Magistrates Court. While male graffitists were preoccupied chiefly with personal identity, power and vengeance, the women used graffiti to build networks and alliances in order to cope with life inside. Their social structure, as expressed in the graffiti, is unusual in that, unlike the men, virtually all f…

Relics of a Desperate Act
The paper interrogates implied and explicit narrative aspects of the standard guided tour taken by tourists visiting the former Centre for the Criminally Insane, ‘J Ward’ (closed in 1991), in the Victorian country town of Ararat. Of particular note are tour guides' accounts of certain routine procedures of inmate management and containment, including the punitive administration of ‘shock’ treatment, and anecdotal depictions of escape attempts by …

Abiding themes of prison life are identified and discerned as factors contributing to the content of the graffiti. These include especially power relationships, sexuality, revenge, violence, boredom and …
