Displaying, Not Just Doing
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, both the Gosford Training School for Boys in New South Wales and the Westbrook Farm Home for Boys in Queensland were well-established institutions. Both were state-run facilities that ostensibly existed to incarcerate, educate and reform boys convicted of criminal offences. Gosford and Westbrook had total responsibility for the boys under their care during their periods of incarceration. They were responsible not j…
Sense of place, place attachment, and belonging-in-place in empirical research
Rural communities around the world face chronic shortages of medical, nursing, and allied health professionals that contribute to serious inequalities between urban and rural residents. Three concepts have been identified as relevant for health workforce recruitment and retention: sense of place, place attachment, and belonging-in-place. However, there is limited information regarding operationalisation of these concepts within health workforce s…
The Politics of Neglect
This article examines the political forces which influenced the treatment of children legally classified as ‘neglected’ in Queensland, Australia, between 1881 and 1900. It focuses on the two government-run institutions which held ‘neglected children’: The Reformatory School for Boys and the Industrial and Reformatory School for Girls. The article identifies tensions between a range of state and private actors which resulted in a patchwork of unev…
The uses of rurality in twentieth-century youth justice
In 1900, the Westbrook Reformatory for Boys, an institution holding both young people convicted of criminal offences and those deemed to be neglected children, was established in a farming region in Queensland, Australia. The institution would remain in the same location until 1994. By then, it had been rebranded as a Youth Detention Centre, housing teenagers convicted of crimes or on remand rather than the original mix of neglected and offending…
From Reformatory to Farm Home
The early twentieth century saw a transnational shift in the way in which children were responded to by the state. This article explores this shift through a change of name undergone by reformatory institutions for boys in two Australian states during the second decade of the twentieth century. This article analyses contemporary newspaper sources in order to argue that this shift in name responded to both transnational changes in attitudes to the…
A constant menace to British interests’
This article draws on archival materials and newspaper reports in order to provide an account of the closure of ‘German schools’ in Queensland during the First World War. Prior to 1915, German Lutheran students enrolled at state schools were permitted to take time off to attend German schools, often run by German ministers of religion, in order to preserve cultural and linguistic traditions. From 1915, however, this practice was forbidden. This a…
Living (in) cities of the past
The virtual world Second Life invites residents to plan, build and maintain their own social geographies. In this article, I draw on data gathered during a multi-year ethnographic study to explore the intersection between memory, nostalgia, place and belonging in Second Life. The article focuses on two packages of land, or ‘sims’, owned and designed by a single Second Life resident who is one of the most dedicated heritage creators. The 1920s Ber…
Fiddling with young kiddies’ minds’
The Safe Schools Coalition Australia program provides resources, including information packages, training and an eight-lesson curriculum, intended to promote the understanding of LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex) young people in Australian schools. This program has been controversial, with opposition enflamed in no small part by inaccurate rhetoric put forward by politicians and some media outlets which positions this anti-…
Reformatory schools and Whiteness in danger
The Queensland Reformatory and Industrial Schools Act (1865) provided for the creation of a system of reformatory and industrial schools. This article explores the early years of the reformatory for boys. The Act defined Aboriginal children as 'neglected' and eligible to be sent to this institution. However, of the first 1000 children admitted, all but 33 were White. This article explores this contradiction through an analysis of the reformatory …
Strengthening discipline in state schools
This article uses critical discourse analysis to interrogate government documents associated with the passing of the Education (Strengthening Discipline in State Schools) Act 2013 in Queensland, Australia. It uses these documents to demonstrate the way in which the discourse of discipline has been constructed in order to legitimate the removal of legislative safeguards intended to curtail the disciplinary power of school officials
As parents congregated at parties
This article considers the discourses of responsibility and blame emerging from newspaper reportage of a crisis in the remote Indigenous community of Aurukun in Northern Queensland, Australia. In doing so, it aims to contribute to the sociology of racism and add to the existing body of scholarship on the ways in which deracialised media discourse can nevertheless be racist. The month of May 2016 saw violence perpetrated by young people against th…
