Governing the Experts: Reforming expert governance of rural public housing
Drawing on policy texts and a series of interviews conducted with rural public housing officers in 2005, this paper extends understandings of rural governance by shifting the focus on experts from one of being statically understood as the arbiters of rural government-at-a-distance processes to viewing them as more complex actors in these governmental processes. In particular, as governmentalities change at the centre, rural experts need also to b…
Reflecting on Power Relationships in the 'Doing' of Rural Cultural Research
Foucaultian understandings of power have come to be highly influential in the how we analyse and write up rural cultural research. However, despite the extensive application of his work, Foucault's retheorisation of power has been less consistently applied to how we 'do' rural cultural research. While researchers have sought to recognise and develop appropriate strategies around the role of power in how research is conducted, we have been less sp…
Assembling the Space Economy: Governmentality and Economic Geography
The emergence of a 'new' economic geography in recent years has emphasised the ways economic processes are inextricably linked to political, cultural and social processes. This article argues that the Foucauldian governmentality literature has the potential to make a contribution here through its operationalisation of the idea that 'the economic'emerges as a sphere that is distinct from the political, cultural and social spheres rather than being…
At Least I Don't Live in Vegemite Valley: Racism and Rural Public Housing Spaces
Drawing on a series of interviews conducted with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous public housing tenants in 2005, this paper investigates the way in which racialised discourses were used to construct rural public housing spaces and Indigenous tenants in the inland city of Griffith in south-western New South Wales (NSW). Informed by the literatures on 'old' and 'new' forms of racism, the paper identifies three separate, yet interdependent, discu…

Governing Through Locational Choice: The Locational Preferences of Rural Public Housing Tenants in South‐Western New South Wales, Australia
The state provision of housing assistance often fulfils goals in addition to that of providing citizens with affordable shelter. With a broad shift to advanced liberal governmental strategies, both housing and regional development policies construct governmental strategies that promote locationally flexible responses as appropriate means of adjustment to regional change and locational disadvantage. Using a survey and interviews conducted with pub…
Which Direction for Cultural Geography? A Postgraduate Perspective
As Chris Gibson observes, the aim of this discussion about 'which direction for cultural geography?' is to evaluate 'how we might best "grow" cultural geography into the future?' Influenced by Noel Castree's (1999, 91) call for ' "in here" geographical activism, that is, the critical reflection of our positioning within academic processes, this piece adds to the debate in this forum from a postgraduate geography student perspective. Reflecting on…
Resident Attitudes to Farmland Protection Measures in the Northern Rivers Region, New South Wales
In-migration to popular ‘sea change’ and ‘tree change’ regions has produced conflicts between rural land users. In the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, new residential developments have been built on much of what was previously prime agricultural land, while farmers (in particular, those negatively affected by the deregulation of the dairy industry) have sought to secure retirement incomes by subdividing land for sale. Although develope…
