Virtual Ethnicity
Where is the ethnic minority presence in cyberspace? In this book, Linda Leung makes a pioneering exploration of ethnic minority presence in cyberspace. She finds that despite the apparent white, Western, male, middle class profile of cyberspace, there is significant ethnic minority activity. The work draws on the author's empirical research amongst ethnic minority women and incorporates discussion of media and web-texts from the US, Canada, Brit…
The Creative Other
This article revisits, through a review of literature, arguments made about the underrepresentation of Other groups and identities in various industries and how this adversely impacts the creative output of those sectors. The proposition is that lack of diversity in the workforce equates to a lack of different ideas, practices, cultures, and processes entering an organization: the critical ingredients necessary for creativity and innovation. The …
Technology’s Refuge
An investigation into the use of information communication technologies by refugees during flight, displacement and in settlement, this book examines the impact of Australia’s official policy of mandatory detention on how asylum seekers and refugees maintain links to diasporas and networks of support.

In particular, it highlights the relationships of representational power between those who see…
The making of matriarchy
The article reviews a selection of the plethora of academic literature available on Madonna and the limited amount on Thatcher, highlighting recurring themes. It attempts to identify the discourses from which these commentaries emerge, and apply the theoretical frameworks used in Madonna's deconstruction to that of Thatcher (and vice versa). These issues are examined in relation to the written language of Madonna and Thatcher: how their individua…
