No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgement in the main text of the thesis. ……………………………………… i Statement of Appreciation I owe a debt of thanks to many people who have made this thesis possible. Firstly, I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to my supervisor, Dr Marguerite Nolan, for her abiding patience, encouragement and intellectual insight. Many conversations with her have helped to clarify my thinking and point me in new directions, and with her level of investment in my work I have not felt alone. Above all, she has been an inspiring example to follow. I would also like to thank Professor Shurlee Swain, my co-supervisor, for her eminently sage advice and encouragement, as well as my associate-supervisor until recently, Dr Fiona Davis, whose keen eye for detail has been greatly appreciated. The recent addition of Dr Margaret Hutchison has been an added source of advice and encouragement that has made this journey worthwhile. In addition, I would like to thank Associate Professor Simon Ryan for his early encouragement and guidance. My colleagues in the ACU Postgraduates Association have been an ongoing source of moral and practical support and I thank them for experiencing the journey with me.
