Francis Robinson
The three years that I spent at Royal Holloway, University of London between 1975 and 1978, as professor and head of the History Department, were among the happiest and most purposive of my entire academic life. This was due, in no small part, to my instant friendship with Francis Robinson. We soon realised that our interests converged to a remarkable degree, despite the gulf of almost two millennia between my own concern for the world of Late An…
Peter Brown and the Making of Late Antiquity (entretien avec Peter Brown)
What are the moments and personalities that stand out in your university education? How were your relations with Frenchspeaking colleagues or authors? I owe most in the opening phases of my work to two towering figures: Arnaldo Momigliano and Henri-Irénée Marrou. In 1956, Arnaldo Momigliano was nominated as the director of my dissertation on “The Social and Economic Position of the Roman Senatorial Aristocracy of Italy in the Sixth Century AD.” A…

The New Caledonian referendum
This article considers the referendum on self-determination held in New Caledonia on 4 November 2018. It sets this vote in context by reviewing previous referenda in this French overseas collectivity, beginning in 1958. The vote in the recent referendum was closer than many, Kanak included, expected (43.33 per cent in favour, 56.67 per cent against). The article analyses this result and takes into account aspects of social change in New Caledonia…

Who Gets Custody Now? Dramatic Changes in Children’s Living Arrangements After Divorce
This article reexamines the living arrangements of children following their parents’ divorce, using Wisconsin Court Records, updating an analysis that showed relatively small but significant increases in shared custody in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These changes have accelerated markedly in the intervening years: between 1988 and 2008, the proportion of mothers granted sole physical custody fell substantially, the proportion of parents shari…

A Participatory Assessment of NRM Capacity to Inform Policy and Practice
The capacity of private landholders to manage natural resources is constrained and enabled by diverse, interconnected, and changing factors, which vary substantially across time and space. This context dependence of capacity makes it both a useful construct and a difficult one to evaluate, which makes targeting investment in capacity building across scales difficult. We detail results of a transferrable, place-based process for evaluating capacit…
New strategies for supporting ‘leisure’ research
A major challenge facing both researchers and end-users of research is how to resource research projects via cash and in-kind support. The Australian Research Council's (ARC) Linkage Projects scheme supports collaborative research projects between higher education organizations and industry. As such, the scheme offers a mechanism for leveraging funding of research that can support policy development, planning and decision-making in relation to ar…
American Studies in Review
This essay reviews Don H. Doyle's Faulkner's County: The Historical Roots of Yoknapatawpha and Edouard Glissant's Faulkner Mississippi. Doyle's book is a detailed social history of Lafayette County, the county in Northern Mississippi on which Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha was based, and I argue that he illustrates the ways in which fiction and history can assist each other in the search for truth. Glissant's book is more dense and philosophi…
The Stability of Child Physical Placements Following Divorce
This study uses administrative data from the Wisconsin Court Record Database, linked with survey data collected from mothers (n= 789) and fathers (n= 690), to describe the living arrangements of children with sole mother and shared child physical placement following parental divorce. Contrary to prior research, results provide little evidence that children with shared placement progressively spend less time in their father's care. We find that, o…

Testing the Practicality of a Personal Digital Assistant Questionnaire versus a Beeper and Booklet Questionnaire in a Random-Time Experience-Sampling Method Context
The Random-Time Experience-Sampling (RTES) method has been used to examine people’s subjective experience of time in particular activity contexts as they are experiencing particular events at random times throughout the day. The method involves a signalling device that cues respondents (at random intervals) to evaluate and report their activities for up to 70 moments of time during a week. While many empirical studies have used electronic pagers …
The Taylorisation of Family Time
Research suggests that perceptions of time pressure are increasing and are particularly acute in households where both parents combine paid work with household and caring responsibilities. What specific strategies do working parents use to ‘manage’ the three-way juggling act of ‘his’ job, ‘her’ job, and family responsibilities, while still finding time for leisure and civic contribution? This question was addressed in a series of focus groups con…
Everyday Temporalities
This article explores the relationship between temporality and young women’s emotional wellbeing in order to consider the implications for leisure and health policy. Time is central to much contemporary social policy. For example, the Active Australia policy urges us to undertake 30 minutes of physical activity per day to maintain physical health. Debates over paid maternity leave implicate work, leisure and family time. Mental health policies al…
Le Dialogue des cultures and the Ninth Sommet de la Francophonie
The Ninth Summit of Heads of State and Government of countries having the French language en partage took place in Beirut, Lebanon, last October, with 40 heads of state and representatives of 16 other members of la Francophonie in attendance. Originally scheduled for October 2001, the gathering had to be postponed for a year, following the attacks of September 11 (i.e. the previous month). The theme chosen for the Summit, ‘le dialogue des culture…
The town dictates what I do’
The contribution of leisure to individual health and well-being is well documented. It is also clear that patterns of leisure activity are differentiated by gender and regional differences, as well as those of age, class and ethnicity. This paper explores the leisure and well-being of mid aged rural women in a small Australian country town in the late 1990s, focusing on issues which have been identified in the Canadian literature as being signifi…

Time Pressure, Satisfaction with Leisure, and Health Among Australian Women
Expectations associated with the multiple roles adopted by women over the life-course have contributed to feelings of time pressure and stress for many women. There is also a growing body of evidence that leisure participation contributes to individual health and well-being and may serve to moderate levels of stress. Explorations of associations between feelings of time pressure, satisfaction levels with the time spent in active/passive leisure, …
Perceived Constraints and Social Support for Active Leisure Among Mothers With Young Children
Evidence suggests that women who are mothers of young children have lower levels of physical activity than women of similar age who do not have children (Brown, Lee, Mishra, & Bauman, 2000). The purposes of this study were to explore the factors that constrain mothers of young children from being more physically active, and the relationship between physical activity and levels of social support available to the women. The empirical basis for this…
The role of wildlife rescue groups in the care and rehabilitation of Australian fauna
Throughout Australia, thousands of people are involved in the rehabilitation of native fauna. This paper reviews the role of wildlife rescue groups in the care and rehabilitation of Australian fauna, and makes recommendations regarding future policy and practice. From the data presented, it is concluded that (1) The majority of wildlife comprise common and widespread species. (2) They usually require care and rehabilitation because of some previo…

A Dark-Age crisis
Generally, the study of the Iconoclast controversy has tended to become a study of the origin of Iconoclast ideas, and this study has, in turn, been incapsulated in a search for a local, provincial setting for such ideas. A consideration of the attitude of the early church to images and the discovery of an Iconoclast movement in the totally Christian environment of seventh-century Armenia have led almost all scholars to regard Iconoclasm as endog…

Religious Coercion in the Later Roman Empire
Improving smallholder farmers’ gross margins and labor-use efficiency across a range of cropping systems in the Eastern Gangetic Plains
Enjoying the saints in late antiquity
The discovery at Mainz by Franĉois Dolbeau of a new collection of sermons of Augustine has enabled us to study, in far greater detail, the attitude of Augustine to the reform of the cult of the martyrs between 391 and 404. This study aims to understand Augustine’s insistence on the need to imitate the martyrs against the background of his views on grace and the relation of such views to the growing differentiation of the Christian community. It a…
Aspects of the Christianization of the Roman Aristocracy
Perhaps the most significant feature of the end of paganism in Rome is that we do know about it; in the words of one of the earliest students of this death of a religion, Beugnot, ‘L'histoire n'a daigné qu'assister aux funérailles du paganisme.’ That this is so is due largely to the central position occupied in the religious history of the late fourth and early fifth centuries, by the senatorial aristocracy of Rome

St. Augustine's Attitude to Religious Coercion
Augustine had to face the issue of religious coercion throughout his episcopate, and especially in his dealings with the Donatist schism. As far as I know, he is the only writer in the Early Church to discuss the subject at length. He even changed his mind on the issue, and he has told us of this ‘conversion’ with characteristic disarming frankness. It is a change which cannot fail to interest us, for whom the problem remains acutely relevant. He…

Power and Persuasion in Late Antiquity
Peter Brown, a known authority on Mediterranean civilisation in late antiquity, traces the growing power of early bishops as they wrested influence from the philosophers who had traditionally advised the rulers of Graeco-Roman society. In the new Christian empire, the ancient bonds of citizen to citizen and of each city to its benefactors were replaced by a common loyalty to a distant, autocrat. This transformation of the Roman Empire from an anc…

Eastern and western Christendom in late antiquity
I must begin with the words of the clergyman: ‘My short sermon for today is divided into three parts. One: God. Two: Man. Three: The Universe.’ It will be impossible to do justice to the subject in hand in the short span of one lecture. This is not only because of the vast range of time and space involved in any consideration of the parting of the ways between eastern and western Christianity in the late antique period. To embark on such a theme …
