Biogenetic Kinship in Families Formed via Reciprocal IVF
Reciprocal IVF is a route to parenthood that, for the first time, allows cis two-mother families (and other couples in which both partners have a uterus and egg stores) to ‘share’ biological parenthood. This family form offers a valuable opportunity for researchers to examine experiences of gestational and genetic motherhood within the same family, and this article is the first to take a sociological approach to exploring kinship within this emer…

Experiencing Liminality
The authors explore the educational potential of liminality. Drawing on their individual and collective experience of liminality as part of a personal development program, the group members use a series of journal reflections to illuminate its key features. They suggest that the concept provides rich possibilities for generating transformational educational experiences. Transactional analysis models, including the vulnerability quotient and the e…
Place-Making in Megaprojects in Melbourne
This article analyses state-led place-making practices in Melbourne. The two levels of government that influence planning in Melbourne make much of the city as ‘culturally vibrant’ and ‘creative’, and have incorporated creative city-inspired place-making principles into many layers of the planning system. An examination of the development of two mixed-use megaprojects in central Melbourne reveals however that ideals of culturally engaging public …
Renew Who? Benefits and Beneficiaries of Renew Newcastle
Critical urban literature has for over a decade raised concerns about the fixation with the use of ‘culture’ and ‘creativity’ to catalyse urban renewal. The concerns range from discomfort with the boosterist hype of such strategies, to questions regarding their impact on cultural producers and outcomes for wider communities. This article reports on a case study of the Renew Newcastle arts-led urban regeneration programme, a temporary use and crea…
The intelligent woman's guide to the urban question
The ‘urban question’ isn't a question with an answer—not like the ‘housing question’, which is in essence, ‘Is the private market model of housing provision separable from capitalist social relations?’ and to which Engels replied categorically ‘No’ (though it took a book to say it). But, like the housing question, the urban question is an invitation to deeper analysis of a superficially straightforward matter, with its roots, as is the case with …

Independent creative subcultures and why they matter
Independent creative subcultures, in their various hybrids of music, theatre, art, and new and old media, are the primordial soup of cultural evolution. They have the capacity for a highly definitive influence on their participants – catalysing the transition from consumer to producer for instance – often conferring much broader cultural and social benefit. Creative subcultures make continuing, well-documented, contributions to established city c…
Docklands Dreamings
The redevelopment of Melbourne’s docklands—the largest urban development project in Australia—has been the subject of various official narratives in the course of its 20-year realisation so far. Many of these have invoked aspirations—‘visions’ or imaginaries—of sustainability, including, variously, economic, environmental, social and cultural sustainability. Through documentary sources used to establish these narratives, this paper tracks the cha…
Enacting separate social worlds
University students and the ‘creative city’
In the last decade, city governments throughout the world have pursued various prescriptions for a ‘creative city’ with varying degrees of success. In Melbourne, strategies have included a revitalised arts policy, liberalisation of liquor laws, an increase in ‘al fresco’ dining and the encouragement of celebrity architects in the design and development of new buildings and precincts. Although Richard Florida’s notion of a ‘creative class’ actuall…
Teaching and Learning Guide for
Author’s Introduction Gentrification is an important component of urban development, and essential to any proper understanding of uneven development. It is also a highly contested concept. It has what can be called a ‘typical’ pattern, with a myriad of variations. These variations are so extensive that some scholars argue that gentrification is a ‘chaotic concept’, that is, a concept so broad as to lose its analytical coherency. Others counter th…

The Unintended Segregation of Transnational Students in Central Melbourne
Links between the rapid growth of tertiary students resident in a city and that city's gentrification have recently been proposed in a UK-based literature about 'studentification'. These analyses frame student subjectivity, identity, and experience in particular ways-students are agents of urban change, propelling shifts in neighbourhood housing and entertainment submarkets in a manner that local host communities often resent. Consideration of th…
A Response to ‘The Eviction of Critical Perspectives from Gentrification Research’
This short essay supports Tom Slater's argument that displacement has been decoupled from gentrification in the recent literature and that this has contributed to de‐politicized analyses of urban change. It also observes that meanings of gentrification have evolved to include the production of space for middle‐class consumption that does not involve direct displacement. The essay argues that these developments do not negate the fundamental class …

Gentrification
This article outlines the key contemporary debates on gentrification, most of which arise from variations in the process: in interpretations, assessments of displacement, the agents involved and the forms that gentrified cities take. The variations are so extensive that some scholars argue that gentrification has become too broad a concept to retain analytical coherency. Others counter that the logic of gentrification is now so generalised that t…
