What’s different about rural families? How rurality shapes gender divisions and relations of care/work in families and communities in Canada
For two decades, researchers in the field of ‘gender divisions of domestic labour’ have attended to diversity by studying families with a range of ethnic and racial identities, sexualities, genders (beyond binaries), marital and socioeconomic statuses, and cultures. But one important facet of diversity insufficiently incorporated into much of this research is place, and more specifically, the size, density, and remoteness of the communities in wh…
Supporting rural low-income families
Recreation is an important resource that can support residents' capacity to cope with stress and deal with community crisis, such as a pandemic. However, rural low-income families often experience inequitable access to recreation provisions. COVID-19 pandemic forced municipal recreation departments across Canada to re-evaluate and adapt their provisions, of particular importance for rural low-income families. Through the lens of social liberalism…
Balancing act
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected rural low-income mothers due to intersecting and compounding factors such as gender, race, income, and disability, among others. In this study, we utilized socialist feminist theory to explore the impacts COVID-19 had on rural low-income mothers’ capacity to facilitate leisure and support their families’ well-being. Through semi-structured interviews with 29 rural low-income mothers, our findi…

In recent decades, Indigenous artists have been strongly represented in exhibitions of Australian art offshore. This article explores two such exhibitions: fluent, staged at the Venice Biennale in 1997, and Culture Warriors, shown at the Katzen Arts Center at the American University in Washington, DC, in 2009. These exhibitions took place during an era in which issues around Indigenous rights and recognition were frequently the subject of domesti…

This article introduces the concept ‘Aboriginal mass culture’ as a means for understanding the significance of the often maligned forms of the Aboriginal art and culture industry in Australia and to a…
The Art/Ethnography Binary
An Art/Ethnography binary informs a range of discursive engagements with Australian Aboriginal art. Ethnography is usually associated with colonialism, primitivism and regarded as circumscribing the art, while Art is posited as unequivocally progressive and good. This article will discuss the activities of various Indigenous and non-Indigenous actors in the Aboriginal art world, and explore the way the Art/Ethnography binary's reiteration by thes…
