ISBN-10: 0-9876055-0-X ISBN-13: 978-0-9876055-0-4 Carrots and Sticks Comparing Institutional Policy Frameworks for Equity and Diversity in the Architecture Profession Naomi Stead and Neph Wake University of Queensland This paper is concerned with the historic and current governance of the architectural profession in Australia via its institutional bodies. Specifically, the paper examines the way that equity and diversity policy and strategies, as overseen and enacted by Institutes of architecture, differ over time and across comparable national environments. This paper, which represents one part of a larger study, examines the policy environment in architecture Australia and the USA, while the larger project also includes the UK and New Zealand. The larger project also addresses other professions in Australia. In Australia, the profession’s peak membership body—the Australian Institute of Architects—presently has a firm position on the role of policy, but a curious and perhaps incomplete suite of existing public policy instruments.

In its first five years, Parlour has grown from a scholarly research project into an activist group with an international reach, but a localised approach to working through issues of equity and diversity in architecture. This paper is a lightly edited version of a keynote 'lecture' given jointly by four of the key members of the Parlour collective. 144 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) Some readers may be familiar with the work of the activist group Parlour: 1 Please note that the order of women, equity, architecture.1 Some might even know the origins of our authors’ names are listed by the name: a rather subversive feminist take on the ‘parlour’ as the room in a order in which we spoke – as house traditionally used for receiving and conversing with visitors. The opposed to a hierarchical account of importance or contribution. name itself derives from the French parler – to speak – hence, a space to speak. But even if you knew these things, you might not realize that what has become an internationally recognized activist organization, working towards greater gender equity in the architecture profession, began its existence as a scholarly research project. This paper is a lightly edited version of a keynote ‘lecture’ given jointly by four of the key members of the Parlour collective.

This e-book may not be sold or distributed for commercial purposes, and may be removed from circulation at the owners' request. To smurfy friends old and new, we re-introduce ourselves to you... Once upon a time, long ago, in a wooded forest, lived happy little creatures called Smurfs. They were good, living in harmony with nature and lending a helping hand to all creatures great and small. But there also lived an evil wizard named Gargamel. He was BAAAAAAD!!! Why he hated the Smurfs so much, not even his Mummy knew. But he was committed to getting them if it was the last thing he ever did. Now the forest is still there. And if you listen very carefully, you might still hear Gargamel yelling in anger. And, if you're good, you just might catch a glimpse of US... The Smurfs! Introduction This e-book is a collection of original comic strips, drawings and animation-style expression sheets of the Smurfs, those little blue characters created by the late Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford, better known by his pen name Peyo. In recent years they've had a revival in pop culture thanks to the motion pictures The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2 from Sony Pictures Studios. I found myself caught up in the latest wave of smurfmania when I was at a local McDonald's near John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California after work.
