Implications of tenant data collection in housing: Protecting Australian renters
How Are Australian Local Governments Responding to the Homelessness Crisis? Findings From a National Study
Australian local governments are facing intensifying pressures to respond to worsening visible homelessness. This paper presents one of the first national studies on how local governments are responding to these pressures, and the first since the onset of the post‐pandemic housing crisis. Drawing on a nationwide survey and three qualitative case studies, we examine the scale of local homelessness pressures, the modes of engagement adopted by coun…
Barriers to and enablers of childhood immunization uptake in Ethiopia’s Amhara, Oromia, and Somali Regions: A multi-perspective qualitative study
Ethiopia has the fourth-highest number of zero-dose children globally. Negative experiences and perceptions of immunization are recognized barriers to vaccination uptake but warrant context-specific investigation. We explored barriers and enablers to immunization uptake in selected regions of Ethiopia. We conducted a formative qualitative study involving 18 focus group discussions with men and women, in-depth interviews with 23 mothers of childre…

Out of harm’s way? The deployment of diversion in the social housing system
Governing urban marginality in the post-Covid city: Introduction to the Virtual Special Issue
Reified scarcity & the problem space of ‘need’: Unpacking Australian social housing policy
Social housing is today a highly residualised sector due to a combination of declining public investment and intensified targeting of stock to the neediest households. We argue that residualisation has opened up a distinct ‘problem space’ wherein policy making and debate are organised around a distinct set of questions and imperatives. Drawing on research into the management of social housing waitlists in Australia, we show how this problem space…
Social science as social action to address inequalities
In its most recent report, the Academy of the Social Sciences Australia (ASSA, 2021: 10) identified social inequality as a “grand challenge” for the social sciences, arguing that social scientists have a pivotal role to play in “understanding, addressing and guiding us towards a narrowing of a two‐tier society.” Nevertheless, the social sciences continue to be regularly positioned as “soft” and esoteric in relation to the natural sciences, while …
Allocating Housing Assistance After the Decentring of Social Housing: From Rationing to Social Sorting
Anglophone countries are diversifying their responses to housing insecurity, decentring social housing and expanding use of market-oriented assistance that aims to promote "housing independence" . Drawing on fieldwork in three Australian jurisdictions, this paper examines the impact of this shift for how housing assistance is allocated. We argue that allocations practices can no longer be understood as centred on the rationing of a single product…
The importance of stable housing in social capital development and utilisation: How Homelessness Undermines Reciprocity, Recognition, and Autonomy
Discursive tensions: Outcomes and rights in educators’ accounts of children’s relaxation
In early childhood education and care policy, there are two dominant discourses: ‘investment and outcomes’ and ‘children’s rights’. There is little research on how these discourses play out in educators’ accounts. In this article, the authors examine the case of discourse pertaining to children’s relaxation in early childhood education and care. They demonstrate that Australian relaxation policy for children in early childhood education and care …
Longing for a Forever Home: Ontological insecurity is collectively produced in fixed-term supportive housing for families
Increasingly unaffordable housing means that family homelessness represents an urgent issue for social policy and practice. Targeting families at risk of homelessness, Supportive Housing for Families (SHF) subsidizes leases and offers support aimed at sustaining tenancies and family unity. We explore how short-term funding cycles in an advanced welfare system impacts experiences with service delivery. Building on housing scholarship employing an …
Dialogic data innovations for sustainability transformations and flood resilience: The case for waterproofing data
Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and have increasing impacts, which disproportionately affect marginalised and impoverished communities. This article proposes and assesses a new methodological approach for developing innovative solutions based on urban data analytics to address sustainability challenges in light of changing climate conditions. The approach draws inspiration from Paulo Freire's dialogic pedagogy and has been imple…
Understanding responses to homelessness during Covid-19: An examination of Australia
Following the outbreak of COVID-19, governments have spent unprecedented sums of money to accommodate people experiencing homelessness, often in underutilized hotels. This intervention contrasts with the policy stasis and “poverty of ambition” that characterized responses to rising homelessness over the past decade in countries such as Australia, the UK, the US, and much of Europe. This is a situation that has prevailed despite rigorous evidence …
Recognition or Redistribution? How Mainstream Media Frames Charitable Responses to People Experiencing Poverty
Charitable responses to people experiencing poverty are often viewed as valuable community-led initiatives that address the support gaps created by a withdrawing welfare state. This perspective provides important insights into the culturally valorised nature of charity. The role of the mainstream media in cultivating and valorising charity, in contrast, remains relatively underexplored. Drawing on a framing analysis of Australian mainstream news …
Can a basic income help address homelessness? A Titmussian perspective
Homelessness is a worsening problem across the developed world and existing policy responses are failing to have an impact. This article considers whether a basic income (BI) can play a role in radically overhauling prevailing homelessness policy and interventions. Drawing on Richard Titmuss' classical arguments about the value of universalist welfare, I argue that a BI can play a role, but only as part of a suite of universalist measures that in…
Quantitative decision making for investment in global health intervention trials: Case study of the Newborn study on emollient therapy in preterm infants in Kenya
Background: Partners from an NGO, academia, industry and government applied a tool originating in the private sector - Quantitative Decision Making (QDM) - to rigorously assess whether to invest in testing a global health intervention. The proposed NEWBORN study was designed to assess whether topical emollient therapy with sunflower seed oil in infants with very low birthweight <1500 g in Kenya would result in a significant reduction in neonatal …
Governing Through (An Exclusive) Community: Limitations of State Conceptualisations of ‘the Community’ in Domestic Violence Policies
In response to growing evidence that cultural values and behaviours are key drivers of men’s use of domestic violence against women, states across the globe are increasingly implementing prevention policies aimed at mobilising cultural change within the community. Through an examination of one Australian state’s recent and significant domestic violence policy reform, we demonstrate that, although state-led efforts to change community culture hold…
Applying for Social Housing in Australia – The Centrality of Cultural, Social and Emotional Capital
Social housing scarcity has underpinned the development of detailed social housing application processes across Australia. Applications require the strongest possible evidence of disadvantage and need, conceptualized in this paper as the required demonstration of “inverse distinction”. Drawing on 47 in-depth interviews in three Australian states with people who have expert knowledge of the application process, we argue that the onerous requiremen…
Discarded data: An Ahmedian engagement with young children’s gendered accounts of violence and power
Qualitative researchers can discard data that are unsaturated or unrelated to research questions, but what do we do when these data affect us, or ‘haunt’ us, ‘long after collecting “it”’ (Taylor 2013, 691)? In this paper, we draw upon Sara Ahmed to guide our engagement with ‘discarded data’: young children’s gendered accounts of violence that unexpectedly arose during interviews about rest-time and relaxation in childcare. We show what it feels l…
Social housing after neo-liberalism: New forms of state-driven welfare intervention toward social renters
Allocation policies to provide social housing to people with the highest needs means that a significant portion of tenants have complex, and often unmet, physical and mental healthcare requirements. Consequently, some tenants require health and psychosocial services integrated with housing. Drawing on a mixed-method design including administrative data from an Australian public health and social housing authority, and tenant qualitative interview…
Fulfilling and desperately needed: Australian media representations of responses to homelessness
Homelessness is a significant social issue that continues to confront Australian society, despite burgeoning public and policy responses to the issue. Existing scholarship demonstrates the important role the media can play in shaping such responses by framing homelessness – and the people who experience it – in particular ways. However, to date there has been limited focus on how the media represents social responses to homelessness, or how such …
Charity and Shame: Towards Reciprocity
Across rich nations with welfare states, charity continues as a dominant force in the lives of people who are poor. Inadequate state welfare and high housing costs drive people in poverty to seek daily support from charities. Based on in-depth interviews with 24 volunteers providing charity and 57 people receiving charity in Australia, as well as on observations of the provision and receipt of charity in practice, this article examines the experi…
Resurgent charity and the neoliberalizing social
Recent decades have seen a resurgence of charity as a response to poverty, as political authorities celebrate non-state responses to social problems. Analyses of this resurgence view charity as a crutch for neoliberal programmes of welfare state retrenchment. This paper offers an alternative perspective. Bringing together a Latourian framework with Foucauldian analyses of neoliberal political ontology, we argue that both the mobilization of chari…
How Does Public Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors Correlate in Relation to Covid-19? A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study in Nepal
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a global health emergency requiring an effective public health response including citizen's roles in preventing spread and controlling the pandemic. Little is known about public knowledge, beliefs and behaviors in-relation to the pandemic in Nepal. This study aims to assess knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) toward COVID-19 among the general public and to identify associated factors. Methods: A c…

The role of housing policy in perpetuating conditional forms of homelessness support in the era of housing first: Evidence from Australia
Despite widespread enthusiasm for Housing First approaches to addressing homelessness, conditional models of support that require ‘housing readiness’ persist in many jurisdictions. Existing research cites an ongoing commitment to conditionality amongst homelessness services providers as a key reason for its persistence. In this paper, we argue that State housing policies also play an important role in perpetuating conditionality in the homelessne…
The Ambiguities of Homelessness Governance: Disentangling Care and Revanchism in the Neoliberalising City
Whilst “caring” responses to homelessness (e.g. shelters, drop‐in centres) have been held up by some as a counter‐current to the revanchist city, recent US studies highlight how the structural dynamics of neoliberalisation can implicate caring spaces in revanchist processes of discipline and spatial control. In this paper, we employ an assemblage approach to examine the intersections between care, revanchism and neoliberalisation in Brisbane, Aus…
Agency in advanced liberal services: Grounding Sociological Knowledge in Homeless People's Accounts
This paper aims to understand how people who are homeless respond to advanced liberal social services that endeavour to promote their autonomy and responsible actions. We prioritize the experiences and positions of people who are homeless, and what agentic action means to them. Sociological literature is selective about what accounts are deemed agentic. Agency is associated with accounts that resist or subvert dominant neoliberal framings of home…

"Bureaucratic encounters "after neoliberalism: Examining the supportive turn in social housing governance
It is well established that encounters between welfare bureaucracies and their clients have been reconfigured under neoliberalism to address the problem of "welfare dependency." Contemporary bureaucratic encounters therefore entail measures to activate clients' entrepreneurial/self-governing capacities, and conditionality/sanctioning practices to deal with clients who behave "irresponsibly." Despite the dominance of the neoliberal model, recent r…

Introduction to the special issue on welfare conditionality in Australia
Conditionality in Australia’s welfare state has sustained a significant academic critique, including the critique published in this journal. In this Special Issue of the Australian Journal of Social Issues, we contribute to the existing critical literature on welfare conditionality. This Special Issue aimed to provide empirical scrutiny into welfare reform and conditionality in Australia. The articles extend our understanding of welfare condition…

Conditionality in the context of housing‐led homelessness policy: Comparing Australia’s Housing First agenda to Scotland’s “rights‐based” approach
Homelessness services and policy have historically tended to be organised by an explicitly conditional logic, wherein people experiencing homelessness must prove their “housing readiness” before accessing settled housing. This model has been robustly challenged in recent decades by “housing‐led” approaches that ostensibly eschew conditionality and prioritise the rapid rehousing of people experiencing homelessness. Various countries now include ho…
The potential for urban surveillance to help support people who are homeless: Evidence from Cairns, Australia
Numerous studies have documented how surveillance practices, such as CCTV, are deployed to support ‘revanchist’ responses to homelessness wherein punitive policing and urban design practices are used to exclude people who are homeless from prime urban areas. However, few studies have considered the capacity of surveillance to facilitate supportive responses to homelessness. In this paper, we explore this supportive capacity through an ethnographi…
DNA and Pacific Commensal Models: Applications, Construction, Limitations, and Future Prospects
Components of the Pacific transported landscape have been used as proxies to trace the prehistoric movement of humans across the Pacific for almost two decades. Analyses of archaeological remains and DNA sequences of plants, animals, and microorganisms moved by or with humans have contributed to understanding prehistoric migration, trade, exchange, and sometimes revealed the geographic origins of particular plants and animals. This paper presents…
Archaeogenomic insights into the adaptation of plants to the human environment: Pushing plant-hominin co-evolution back to the Pliocene
The colonization of the human environment by plants, and the consequent evolution of domesticated forms is increasingly being viewed as a co-evolutionary plant-human process that occurred over a long time period, with evidence for the co-evolutionary relationship between plants and humans reaching ever deeper into the hominin past. This developing view is characterized by a change in emphasis on the drivers of evolution in the case of plants. Rat…

Evidence for an integrated healthcare and psychosocial multidisciplinary model to address rough sleeping
People who sleep rough/experience unsheltered homelessness face barriers accessing mainstream healthcare and psychosocial services. The barriers to service access exacerbate poor health, which in turn create additional challenges for rough sleepers to access health and psychosocial services, including stable housing. The study presents descriptive statistics to identify housing outcomes of people working with a Multidisciplinary Model that compri…
Governing the dieting self: Conducting weight-loss via the internet
Recent critical scholarship on bodyweight issues has taken a step back from debates regarding the veracity of claims made about the 'obesity epidemic' and its dietary causes and solutions. Instead, researchers have begun to explore the 'truth effects' of obesity discourse: how this discourse is translated into interventions that target how people relate to, and act upon, themselves and others. The study contributes to this scholarship through an …

Poverty by Design: The Role of Charity and the Cultivated Ethical Citizen
Across numerous countries with advanced welfare states, governments have relied on a hybrid of publicly funded and delivered welfare services and voluntary charity to meet the needs of people in poverty. Driven by austerity and economic downturns, many scholars agree that governments are increasingly relying on charity as a response to poverty. Taking Australia as a case study, this article demonstrates how the decayed welfare state is not just a…
Surveilling the marginalised: How manual, embodied and territorialised surveillance persists in the age of 'dataveillance
The emergence of new forms of data-driven surveillance - often referred to as 'dataveillance' - is reshaping how marginalised social groups are governed. It is generally thought that dataveillance replaces the manual monitoring of specific individuals and spaces with automated monitoring of disembodied and deterritorialised populations. This article challenges this view. Drawing on an ethnographic study of surveillance and homelessness governance…
Age at Immigration and the Educational Attainment of Foreign-Born Children in the United States: The Confounding Effects of Parental Education
A substantial empirical literature confirms an educational disadvantage for foreign-born children that arrive in their host countries at older ages. In the presence of a negative correlation between parental education and age at immigration, estimates of the educational attainment age at immigration gradient, neglecting controls for parental education, will tend to overestimate this disadvantage. The results indicate a considerable overestimation…
The post-political state? The role of administrative reform in managing tensions between urban growth and liveability in Brisbane, Australia
The article investigates how governmental responses to problems arising from urban population growth contribute to the post-political governance of cities. It does this through a case study of the city of Brisbane, Australia. Brisbane markets itself as a medium-sized metropolis that balances economic growth with a level of urban liveability not found in larger cities. Yet, there are signs that rapid population growth and consolidation are undermi…

Musicians of Bath and Beyond: Edward Loder (1809-1865) and his Family
Musicians of Bath and Beyond: Edward Loder (1809-1865) and his Family illuminates three areas that have recently attracted much interest: the musical profession, music in the British provincesand colonies, and English Romantic opera. The Loder family was pre-eminent in Bath's musical world in the early nineteenth century. John David Loder (1788-1846) led the theatre orchestra there from1807, and later the Philharmonic orchestra and Ancient Concer…

Analyzing problematization as a situated practice in critical policy studies: A case study of ‘customer focus’ policy in urban compliance services
This paper seeks to refine the analytical tools available to critical policy scholars for analyzing policy problems by extending upon the popular ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ (WPR) approach. WPR is highly effective at revealing how policy problems are contingent upon prevailing discourses; however, it is less effective for addressing how this contingency unfolds at the level of practice in particular governance context. Hence, this pap…
Four Quatrains for improving mental health and well-being in the law
This article looks briefly at two famous judges, Lord Bowen in the 19th century and Sir Owen Dixon in the 20th century and asks what made them somewhat lugubrious about studying law? The article makes four suggestions for improving the mental health and well-being of the profession: these are mentoring, pro-bono work, ethical training and creative opportunities. These four pervasive ‘law plus’ areas of endeavour, or quatrains, which form part of …

The governance of mundane urban nuisances: Examining the influence of neoliberal reason on regulatory practices in Brisbane, Australia
Existing research demonstrates how the governance of urban nuisances is often linked to the punitive treatment of marginalised subjects and the neoliberal imperatives that drive this. Yet, whilst the discourse of nuisance disproportionately effects marginalised populations, it is also applied to other urban subjects and problems. Drawing on a qualitative study of nuisance governance in Brisbane, Australia, this paper extends upon the existing lit…
