Australian academic women and promotion since 1975
From the mid-twentieth century, women took up academic roles in Australian universities in growing numbers, initially concentrated at lower levels. We review the Australian literature on academic women and promotion from 1975 onwards, mapping the evolving explanations for women’s status within universities, approaches to gender equity, and wider sectoral transformations. Strong gender equity initiatives in the 1980s and 1990s were diffused, subor…
Mapping Shadows of the Bight
In August 2023, a collective of arts and humanities scholars undertook a mobile residency on the Far West Coast of South Australia, along the Great Australian Bight. Moving through deeply storied country that is largely marginal and neglected in the cultural and political imaginary, and negotiating our relation to this displacement as settler-colonial scholars with the privilege of mobility, the residency sought creative and critical approaches t…
Doing Double Time
People who have served prison time experience a higher unemployment rate than other social groups. Australian law stipulates individuals must not face employment discrimination on the basis of criminal record if unrelated to the job’s inherent requirements, but discrimination remains significant. Female ex-offenders are particularly vulnerable to stigma and discrimination. Nicki’s (pseudonym) account airs injustices facing women seeking rehabilit…

Problem Gambling
Problem gambling, which directly affects 6 to 9 million Americans, too often results in devastating outcomes. Despite its prevalence it does not appear to get the same amount of attention as other addictions. In fact, despite evidence suggesting that treatment can reduce problem gambling, little research has been conducted on community capacity to address problem gambling. Therefore, this study assessed how well prepared human service organizatio…

The Economy of Persistence
Mario Conte has had a tailor shop in King Street, Newtown since the mid 1960s. Taking an interview with Mario as its point of departure, this article describes the persistence of a skilled worker whose practices and techniques remain the same in a world that has long changed. While inattentive to what rules might be used to decorate a shop window, Mario continues to make and sew in the way that he learnt in post-war Italy. Mario's persistence cou…
The Coming of the Holocaust
Tracksuit or business suit
In 2004, American businesswoman and television celebrity Martha Stewart was imprisoned for insider trading. By 2005, she was reinstalled in her television world of promoting domestic fantasy and class mobility through her products. Her 17 February 2011 show titled ‘Redo, Renew and Recycle’ (as well as including ‘bathroom make-over ideas’ and a ‘leather handbag how-to’) promoted Dress For Success, a charity with over 125 affiliates across the worl…
Stained Evidence
Accidental stains offer unique, material evidence of love, life, decay, and death. Traditionally, we have admired cloth and clothing for its new, pristine qualities and have celebrated those features in our personal clothing, alongside collections, displays, catwalks, and advertising. This paper explores the underside of this known realm by drawing on the case studies of Jackie Kennedy's blood-stained suit, Monica Lewinsky's infamous blue dress, …
‘It was just something you did’
This article uses family photographs to discuss the labour of home dressmaking in Australia in the 1960s. These images reveal the products of this domestic labour in garments of economy and style and allude to the affective labour associated with the socialization of girls. The clothes produced by mothers for their daughters can be viewed as a performative act of mothering at that time. Drawing on conversations, discussions and interviews with th…
Lines of Flight
The combination of new technology facilitating international travel, along with postwar prosperity and modernist aesthetics led to the expansion of a relatively new profession for young women: the flight hostess (later named flight attendant). At one time a profession as glamorous as modeling, today there are hundreds of thousands of uniformed women in movement around the world branding international and domestic airlines as corporate/national id…
On Mad Men
Introduces the themes of the section and provides an overview of the contributions
Don, Betty and Jackie Kennedy
Why is it that we watch Mad Men and think it represents a period? Flashes of patterned wallpaper, whiskey neat, babies born that are never mentioned, contact lining for kitchen drawers, Ayn Rand, polaroids, skinny ties, Hilton hotels, Walter Cronkite, and a time when Don Draper can ask 'What do women want?' and dry old Roger Sterling can reply 'Who Cares?' This essay explores the embrace of period detail in Mad Men finding it to be both loving an…
The Detail
Each “season” the fashion industry marks time with an illusion of novelty and spontaneity. As consumers, we are meant to be enticed and respond to the fashionable element at the level of detail that gives a garment its tension or significance in the fashion system.In The Fashion System (1967), Roland Barthes analyzes fashion at a complex level of “substances,” which included looking at the material, the photography, and the language. And certainl…
