Saving Hattah Lakes
Hattah Lakes is a network of lakes in Victoria’s north-west in a region known as the Mallee. This article focuses on three white men who were critical to saving the Lakes: a bushman, a naturalist, and a scientist. All recognised the unique nature of the Lakes and each operated within changing understandings of masculinity as they sought to protect the Lakes from development. These three men viewed the Lakes as a place of natural beauty and abunda…
A Green Social Work Study of Environmental and Social Justice in an Australian River Community
In Australia the impacts of climate change are resulting in considerable water scarcity, a scenario affecting the green and blue spaces that provide well-recognized individual health benefits. However, far less is known about the social health benefits of these spaces, particularly for those residing in rural Australian river communities. In this geographic context, water issues are compounded by a dominant culture that privileges the commodifica…
Towards an interdisciplinary agenda for teaching in the climate crisis
The current anthropogenic climate crisis presents unique challenges to the higher education classroom. Pedagogy in the context of climate change must be attuned to complex and varied student experiences that can contend with feelings of anxiety, disconnection, distress and hopelessness. As educators and researchers, we collate our pedagogical approaches in the humanities and social sciences to progress ongoing discussions about climate pedagogy a…

Consequently, this review adds a critical dimension to water management deb…

The 'Mallee-Made Man
The southern Australian Mallee is a broad ecoregion comprising distinct landscapes, and the clearing and farming of these lands have presented specific challenges to generations of white settlers. Cultivation of this region was characterised as 'one of the most strenuous and resolute battles with Nature'. So began the shaping of an enduring mythology around the 'Mallee man'. In the context of the settler state, this mythology was forged through r…

This new collection of documents - letters, songs, poetry, diary extracts - charts the visions that inspired women and the obstacles that confronted them.Exploring twentieth-century Australia, Freedom Bound II shows how intertwined were women's public and personal lives, and how bound by custom, ties, affections and duties.

Doing environmental history in urgent times
The human/nature relationship is at the heart of one of the most urgent crises of our time: climate change. What does this mean for environmental historians, trained as we are to examine the culture/nature relationship, its changing temporal expressions, to challenge the binary which underpins the discipline of history itself? This article is framed as a conversation between three environmental historians as we respond to key questions about envi…
Does It Matter If She Cried? Recording Emotion and the Australian Generations Oral History Project

This article draws on discussions within the history of emotions and oral history literature to examine these questions. It looks closely at an interview conducted for the Australian Generations Oral History Project and argues that in order to understand the expre…

Talking about Mental Illness
Mental illness was an experience readily discussed by participants in the Australian Generations Oral History Project. The stories demonstrate the significant shift which has occurred within the community during the last three decades, around attitudes toward, and treatment of, mental illness. The pervasiveness of a therapeutic discourse through which to express understandings of self is also evident. This article examines the different ways in w…
Howling Wilderness and Promised Land
This article traces the changing understandings and representations of the Victorian Mallee region in the years 1840–1914. It tracks the multiple ways in which the region was imagined and discussed, paying close attention to how these imaginings were both shaped by and in turn themselves shaped the landscape. We argue that while the Mallee experience became emblematic of the broader Australian struggle with the land and thus the founding narrativ…

Spinsters Indispensable’
In considering a period of national anxiety about falling marriage rates and rising numbers of single women, this article looks at the ways different groups used the figure of the spinster to argue about the ways white women should live their lives. For some feminists, the spinster was an example of what life for a free, economically independent white woman could be. For masculinists, the single woman was a threatening figure, suggesting women's …
