  • Chapter 11 the Sydney Disturbances
    Chapter 11 The Sydney Disturbances URING the twenty years from 1965, the philosophy depart- ment at Sydney University was rent by a series of bitter left- Dright disputes. Such fights — or rather, the same fight in many instantiations — were common enough in humanities depart- ments in the period. The unique virulence of the one at Sydney, which eventually led to a split into two departments, was due not only to the strength of the left, which was a frequent occurrence elsewhere, but to the determination not to give way of the leading figures of the right, David Armstrong and David Stove. Armstrong and Stove, as we saw in chapter 2, were students of John Anderson in the late 1940s, and ones of unusually independent mind. Armstrong had early success. He went for postgraduate work to Oxford, where the linguistic philosophy then current made only a limited impression on his Andersonian interest in the substantial questions of classical philosophy. He recalled attending a seminar by the leading linguistic philosophers Strawson and Grice. Grice, I think it was, read very fast a long paper which was completely unintelligible to me. Perhaps others were having difficulty also because when the paper finished there was a long, almost religious, hush in the room. Then O.P. Wood raised what seemed to be a very minute point even by Oxford standards. A quick dismissive remark by Grice and the room settled down to its devotions again. At this point a Canadian sitting next to me turned and said, ‘Say, what is going on here?’ I said, ‘I’m new round here, and I don’t know the rules of this game.

  • Ken Mansell the Yeast Is
    THE YEAST IS RED A HISTORY OF THE BAKERY (OFF-CAMPUS CENTRE OF THE MONASH UNIVERSITY LABOR CLUB 1968-1971) By KEN MANSELL (April 1994) 1 INTRODUCTION PRELUDE THE MONASH LABOR CLUB CHAPTER ONE THE YEAST The Yeast Red Base Headquarters CHAPTER TWO WHERE THE YEAST IS RED Walk Right in, it's around the Back Where the Yeast is Red The Revolutionary Socialists - Half-Baked CHAPTER THREE ALL FIRED UP Burn, Temple of Gold! Fighting Together - the worker-student alliance Space Wars All Coppers Are Bastards - Reflections on Violence CHAPTER FOUR TOWARDS THE CORRECT LINE The Young Communist League The Little Red Moles Free U Bring The War Home! The Prahran Peoples’ Movement CHAPTER FIVE IN THE BAKEHOUSE Solidarity Forever, the Party Makes Us Strong Daily at Dawn CHAPTER SIX CRUMBLING Oh Crumbs! Fragmentation of the Left Coalition Student Power The Worker-Student Alliance - Hard-baked FINALE CONCLUSION BIBLIOGRAPHY 2 INTRODUCTION An ASIO operative at Monash complained in 1970 that he was expected to find evidence of direct communication from Peking to The Bakery. He had indeed penetrated far into the Labor Club structure; far enough to know that this idea was wholly without substance. As ASIO explained to him, their task was to identify enemy agents so they might be quickly removed at the outbreak of hostilities.1 The Yeast is Red is a case study of the Australian new left of the late sixties. The new left initially emerged as part of a movement of growing opposition to the Vietnam War. The war shattered the previously dominant framework of ‘Cold War’ assumptions and profoundly altered the Australian political culture.2 Even though Vietnam and the associated conscription of male youths was the catalyst for the youth radicalisation of the sixties which produced the new left, the new radical consciousness was caused also by the effects of the social and cultural changes of the period.

  • Student Newspaper Collections in Australian University Libraries and Archives
    This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in the Journal of the ​ Australian Library and Information Association on 20th May 2020, available online: ​ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24750158.2020.1760529 Radical holdings? Student newspaper collections in Australian university libraries and archives Jessie Lymn & Tamara Jones Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga Abstract University student newspapers have a long history across Australian university campuses of engaging with contemporary social and political issues, often reflecting a sentiment not represented in mainstream media publications. Student newspapers have a demonstrated engagement with radical thinking, dissent and political activism and are an important published record of historical discourses, contributing to a critically informed understanding of the society that produced them. This paper reports on a pilot survey of Australian university holdings of their student newspapers. Findings inform current and future student newspaper collection practices by university libraries and archives, including building ongoing relationships with editorial teams, and recommended improvements for access to this primary source material for future researchers. Keywords: student newspapers; student publications; digital collections; special collections; archives; student politics; college newspapers 1 Introduction University student newspapers have a long history across Australian university campuses of engaging with contemporary social and political

  • End Rape on Campus’S Comprehensive Report on Sexual Harassment and Assault in Australia’S Universities
    Foreword Professor Catharine Lumby, Macquarie University and Board Member, Rape and Domestic Violence Services Australia It is a chastening privilege to write this introduction to End Rape on Campus’s comprehensive report on sexual harassment and assault in Australia’s universities. It is a report that sets the benchmark for understanding and responding to the shameful levels of sexual assault and harassment on our campuses. That a report of such breadth and depth was produced without funding by current and former university students is testament to what our universities are doing well: training students in rigorous research and advocacy skills. That such a report needs to be written at all speaks volumes about how comprehensively many of our universities are failing their students in a foundational area: the right to gain an education in a safe environment. This report details the disproportionate and devastating impact of assault on students, who are overwhelmingly female. It’s an impact that can last a lifetime. Students underperform, drop out of their studies, struggle to trust others again and are at risk of developing mental illness. Alarmingly, many universities are compounding this trauma by failing to support survivors and, in some cases, actively seeking to silence them. Policies across our tertiary sector are inconsistent, often opaque, and not informed by best practice trauma response. This is in an era when Australia leads the world in post-assault trauma counselling and sexual assault prevention education. Our universities spend millions of dollars promoting their commitment to excellent research and teaching. Yet, all of that means nothing if they do not fulfil their basic duty of care to prevent the assault and harassment of students and to support survivors.

    A Bibliography for Australian Universities Compiled by Naomi Cat den THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CANBERRA This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991. This republication is part of the digitisation project being carried out by Scholarly Information Services/Library and ANU Press. This project aims to make past scholarly works published by The Australian National University available to a global audience under its open-access policy. A Bibliography for Australian Universities compiled by NAOMI CAIDEN Department of Sociology The Australian National University ’yZ/rr" -— ■ THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CANBERRA First printed in Vestes, September 1964-March 1965 Re-issued by The Australian National University in this format, December 1965 1963 i A BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES Compiled by N aomi Gaiden FOREWORD This bibliography is an attempt to provide an index to books, articles and other publications about Australian universities. It is not a selective bibliography, but is rather an effort to compile as compre­ hensive a list of references as possible, as a kind of check-list to what is available to the general reader or research worker. It has been divided into two parts, the first of which contains material directly relating to the internal affairs of the universities, whilst the items in the second concern more peripheral topics. The divisions between the two parts and the sections within them are by no means hard and fast and the inevitable overlapping has been resolved by cross-refer­ ences. For example, “University courses—education” in Part I over­ laps with “Teacher education” in Part II. A further problem concerns selection of the material.

  • Towards a Better Union
    Towards a Better Union The formation and development of the National Union of Students (Australia) Liam Byrne 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BA (Hons) in History. University of Sydney. 1 Abstract The National Union of Students was established in 1987 and began function in its full capacity the following year after a long and contested formation process that involved as many failures as successes. Both at the time and during periods of political tension since the structure and organisation of the union have come under intense criticism for entrenching the factional power of the Labor students. This thesis closely examines the processes by which the NUS was formed and places the internal political contests that shaped the early union within a broader structural framework. 2 Introduction In December of 2009 over 120 students from more than 20 universities across Australia converged on the University of Ballarat for the Annual Conference of the National Union of Students. 1 For five days delegates, office bearers and observers waited patiently for the conference to begin. On a number of occasions delegates gathered expectantly on conference floor, having heard rumours that the official proceedings may have been about to proceed. During this time the Business Committee, a group of 7 factional representatives appointed by the Executive, were debating and negotiating the appropriate agenda and order of business for the conference.2 As the delay drew on it became apparent that there was deep division and disagreement between the dominant Labor factions, the National Labor Students (NLS) and Student Unity.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Janet Beizer Elizabeth Carter Hanrahan Taming the Gypsy: How French Romantics Recaptured a Past Abstract In this dissertation, I examine the evolution of the Gypsy trope in Romantic French literature at a time when nostalgia became a powerful aesthetic and political tool used by varying sides of an ideological war. Long considered a transient outsider who did not view time or privilege the past in the same way Europeans did, the Gypsy, I argue, became a useful way for France’s writers to contain and tame the transience they felt interrupted nostalgia’s attempt to recapture a lost past.
