Underappreciated mid-sized cities
Can mid-sized cities play a greater role in accommodating population growth and if so, under which conditions and what policy settings? Drawing on debates about economic growth and optimal city size as they frame policy preferences, we use census data, policy reports and media, and interviews with policymakers in Australia to examine the opportunities offered by mid-sized metropolitan areas. Such locations have enough services and facilities to b…
Swallow Them All, and It's Just Like Smack
This research article investigates moral agency in the spaces between the methadone clinic and the inpatient psychiatric ward by exploring the ways dually-diagnosed service users move though ever-more labyrinthine networks of care. I ask: how are patients' own engagements with the ethical stakes of such care both made possible and delimited by virtue of their proximity to substances that are understood to affect their subjectivities, wills, and c…
Experimental Engagements with Ethnography, Moral Agency and Care
This Special Section explores questions of method and positionality attached to moral agency in mental healthcare, which give rise to novel methodological and theoretical approaches to everyday life in the clinical and non-clinical spaces where such 'care' occurs. Moral agency is the ability to be perceived as a 'good enough' person, which makes possible intimate relationships with others that are needed to thrive in many social contexts (Myers 2…
It Tastes Like Order
What counts as evidence in contemporary debates about antipsychotic efficacy? Current research in the fields of psychiatry, public health, and the social sciences continues to cast doubt upon the efficacy of antipsychotic medications, but patient testimonies illuminating the intersection of psychotic experience and the psychiatric injunction to adhere are largely missing from research about psychotropic medications' intended and actually reported…
Research Approach or Policy Problem
In the 25 years since its publication, Housing and Social Theory (Kemeny 1992) has accumulated hundreds of citations, inspired and informed numerous theses (including mine), and stimulated scores o
Place, political culture and post-Green Ban resistance
Blind Representation”
This essay argues that Theodor Adorno’s reflections on the novel form respond to a problem that is focused in his commentaries on the cinema: how to develop forms of aesthetic rationality at a historical moment in which medium-specific aesthetic reflection may be obsolete. Adorno’s commentaries on novelistic and filmic language register this historical situation of art. At the same time, this line of thought serves a crucial underlying interest o…
Televised Territorial Stigma
This paper explores the issue of territorial stigmatisation through tenant-driven research chronicling the experiences of social housing tenants as they examined and reflected upon the Australian television series Housos. The television series aired on an independent, part publicly funded, television station in 2011 and depicts the lifestyles of fictional tenant characters on an imaginary social housing estate. The series presents satirical and e…
Community Research for Participation
From high-rise projects to suburban estates
‘Working Together?’
This article explores the changing relationship between government and The Salvation Army, as manifested in the development and implementation of employment policy in Australia between 1998 and 2007. This exploration focuses on the introduction of market discourse throughout the contracting process, in particular how this discourse seeks to reconstruct service users as ‘consumers’, and the Salvation Army’s response to this. By studying the ways i…
De‐concentration of Disadvantage and Mixed Income Housing
Despite differences in the history, form, and tenant populations, housing authorities in the UK, USA and Australia have embarked on similar redevelopment projects designed to address social exclusion by replacing areas of concentrated public housing with “mixed‐income” developments. Drawing on examples from Australia, this paper analyses the discourse which supports these redevelopment projects. Elements of the discursive strategy revealed includ…
Child Welfare and Information and Communication Technology
Information and communication technology (ICT) usage in contemporary child welfare practice reflects dominant managerial interests rather than those of the profession, and, importantly, of service users. Explicit use of ICT in the interests of service users remains embryonic, and professionals have been slow to capitalize on the communication potential of new technologies. This contrasts with technology uptake in other areas of human services. Un…
Community management
The Discourse of 'Community' and the Reinvention of Social Housing Policy in Australia
Recent developments in Australian social housing policy encompass a larger role for non-government housing providers. The new emphasis is mediated and supported by the discourse of 'community' housing. 'Community' is invoked as an ideal by liberal critics of the centralised state, and conversely, by critics of liberalism who pose it as an alternative to individualism and the abstract formalism of the liberal state. Much of the rhetoric of communi…
Social Work Or Not Social Work — Is That Really The Question? A Reply to Thea Brown and Janet Taylor on Social Workers in Local Government
Brown and Taylor's implicit assumption in this issue of Australian Social Work, that Social Work is a discreet category of occupational activities, of which Local Government Community Work may or may not be a part, is challenged in this reply. Each requires practitioners to use certain knowledge, skills and attitudes which clearly have much in common but Community Work is not a subset of social work, rather social workers are a subset of communit…
