Regional Resilience and an Interventionist State
Geelong’s economic resilience has been evident for decades as it transitioned from a manufacturing to a service centre. This transformation largely unfolded during Australian governments’ embrace of neo-liberal policies which are usually associated with the State’s withdrawal from active economic intervention. A close examination of the Geelong experience, however, shows the State as a key actor, intervening through direct employment, targeted in…
The Story of Australia
The Story of Australia provides a fresh, engaging and comprehensive introduction to Australia’s history and geography. An island continent with distinct physical features, Australia is home to the most enduring Indigenous cultures on the planet. In the late eighteenth century newcomers from distant worlds brought great change. Since that time, Australia has been shaped by many peoples with competing visions of what the future might hold. This new…

Cultural Capital
Founded on the work of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, the concept of cultural capital has been used directly and indirectly by geographers to analyze existing phenomena such as gentrification; to understand emerging economic sectors such as the cultural or creative industries; and to form the basis of new policy agendas for urban, regional, and social regeneration. In this exercise, they have used the concepts developed by Bourdieu and modif…
Creative suburbs? How women, design and technology renew Australian suburbs
Australian suburbs have long been subjected to negative stereotyping – as aesthetic wastelands, politically conservative, socially isolated and environmentally rapacious – as the last places you would expect creativity. A critical engagement with this discourse and an examination of older as well as some newer suburbs unsettles these characterizations. A broad definition of ‘creativity’ directs attention to what was occurring in 20th century Aust…
Feminist Geography 30 Years on - They Came, They Saw But Did They Conquer
Feminist geography emerged in Australia in the 1980s, spurred on by the local Women's Liberation Movement and inspired by the academic activism emanating from England, Canada, and the United States. Producing critical evaluations of male-dominated geography departments, curriculum, and journals, feminist geographers proceeded to stake claims in each of these spheres while also substantially revising the content of geographical research. There wer…
Gendering Domestic Space
Restructuring Capitalism and Patriarchy-Patterns and Processes
Style Wars
Is there a revolution occurring in the Australian suburb? From a brief examination of demographic, economic, political and aesthetic changes, it appears that the suburbs of the new century are very different from those of the last. With the demise of key underpinnings of the older suburban form—the sexual division of labour, particular family forms, localised communities and bucolic private gardens—has gone an end to official support of the expan…
Text‐ured Brick
Why do over 80 per cent of Australians defy the many critics of suburban life and continue to flock to new houses on the fringes of our large cities? This question is explored using feminist poststructuralism and urban semiotics to read a Melbourne exhibition village. Using this method, a house, its floor plan and a promotional brochure can be seen as cultural artefacts onto which are inscribed oppressive social relations which are, nevertheless,…
New Patriarchal Economies in the Australian Textile Industry
S Analyses seriously considering the importance of gender in the process of restructuring have been scarce, yet altered gender relations have been integral to these changes at all geographical scales. Vital interconnections exist between a restructuring capitalism and a reconstituting patriarchy. Initially, I clarify the concepts and the feminist politics which inform the analysis, and then I situate the Australian textile industry in a global co…
