The bulk of research on women’s policing has focused on the growth of women in law enforcement, barriers, sexual harassment, gender differences, why women are deterred from law enforcement, physical limitations, and instruments used during the recruitment process, and the stress endured after entry into the profession. When looking at Black female officers’ lived experience and perceptions around mentoring; research is lacking. Eight Black female officers from the San Francisco Bay Area participated in this study. Findings revealed that all of the women have faced a recurring sense of discrimination, based on their gender. Many participants also suggested a culture in which women are viewed as less capable and, are, at times, less valued.

  • The Iconography of Arthur Boyd Lecturer: Kendrah Morgan 29/30 August 2018
    Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2018 The Hidden Language of Art: Symbol and Allusion. Lecture title: The Iconography of Arthur Boyd Lecturer: Kendrah Morgan 29/30 August 2018 Lecture summary: Acclaimed artist Arthur Boyd (1920–1999) was a master in a range of media but most widely recognised for the extraordinary allegorical paintings that he produced in series across the course of his long career. This lecture focuses on how Boyd developed his distinctive and deeply personal symbolic language, exploring the evolution and meaning of specific motifs and how he applied and extended these in key sequences of paintings to create images of universal and lasting relevance. While Boyd’s work is stylistically diverse, his iconography is remarkably consistent, allowing us to identify what inspired and drove him, and made him one of the most important Australian artists of the twentieth century.

    17 of Nolan’s provincialism: ‘This need for solution, the optimistic belief that man can understand and master the confusion of life, is surely at variance with our 20th century despair of finding a cohesive pattern.’ He asked why all the faces in Nolan’s paintings based on Shakespeare’s Sonnets were so ‘enigmatically, unpredictably Australian.’ Agreeing that his Shakespeare ‘looked like a swagman,’ Nolan wondered whether it wasn’t part of the ungovernable egoism of creativity that Shakespeare, indeed the world, would be seen in terms of one’s own experience? — ‘In saying something powerful about yourself poetically, you become reconciled to it.’32 To Spencer, Nolan’s ‘outsidedness is really the equation of his Australianness.’ To Nolan, on the other hand, ‘outsidedness’ was a condition of creativity.33 **** Arthur Boyd, the second creative fellow represented in this exhibition, spent the five months of his fellowship (21 September 1971 – 29 February 1972) in Canberra.1 His home base since 1959 had been London, where Australian artists and writers had been having the effect of an ‘antipodean’ new wave. Their art was raw and uncompromising, and it expressed Australian realities that were exotic to international audiences yet touched on universal human myths. When Boyd was approached by the Australian National University in early May 1970 he was fifty. Events during the past two or three years had put him in the position of considering the tenor of his art and life. In 1967 a first monograph, written by Franz Philipp, had pointed to the meaningful recurrence of motifs and stories in his work.

A celebration of life, art and exhibition This year Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest celebrates 75 years of art practice and exhibition on this site. In 1942, Gerald Lewers purchased this property to use as an occasional residence while working nearby as manager of quarrying company Farley and Lewers. A decade later, the property became the family home of Gerald and Margo Lewers and their two daughters, Darani and Tanya. It was here the family pursued their individual practices as artists and welcomed many Sydney artists, architects, writers and intellectuals. At this site in Western Sydney, modernist thinking and art practice was nurtured and flourished. Upon the passing of Margo Lewers in 1978, the daughters of Margo and Gerald Lewers sought to honour their mother’s wish that the house and garden at Emu Plains be gifted to the people of Penrith along with artworks which today form the basis of the Gallery’s collection. Received by Penrith City Council in 1980, the Neville Wran led state government supported the gift with additional funds to create a purpose built gallery on site. Opened in 1981, the gallery supports a seasonal exhibition, education and public program.
