I Just Couldn’t Fit It In’: Gender and Unequal Outcomes in Academic Careers
This article reports on the findings of two pieces of research that were designed to test and challenge widely accepted theories about the causes of gender inequity in academic employment at the national level, and subsequently in a more detailed case study of one of Australia's largest and most prestigious universities. Both research projects used large‐scale surveys to capture information about levels of human capital, family responsibilities, …
Anything for the house’: Recollections of post‐war suburban dreaming
In the post‐war years, as the suburbs were expanding, older criticisms of suburban life as shallow and dull were re‐invigorated. The suburbs of the 1950s became—and continue to be for some—an object of disdain and critique.

This paper—based on intervi…

Her aim was to 'explore the nature of exploitation under capitalism, particularly in paid pro duction, the nature of resistance to such exploitation and, above all, the limitations which circumscribe the possible forms of resistance'. What is particularly original (and perhaps most controversial) about Williams' approach is the …
British Imperialism, Irish Nationalism, and Ulster Unionism
On receiving the June 1978 issue of Monthly Review I was delighted to see an article on the present struggle in Northern Ireland (Mary Turner, "Social Democracy and Northern Ireland: the Origins of the Present Crisis"), for this question has been sadly ignored by socialist writers both in Britain and the United States. The article is clearly situated within the dominant school of socialist thought on the "Irish problem," which has traditionally f…
