Colonialism explicitly continues in this country through government actions like forced adoptions and murders in custody.

  • Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field
    Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process.

  • The Port Securityscape an Ethnography
    The port securityscape an ethnography by Yarin Eski Thesis submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social and Political Sciences University of Glasgow Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research 63 Gibson Street Glasgow G12 8LR Scotland Prof Fergus McNeill (first supervisor) Prof Simon Mackenzie (second supervisor) Dr Nicole Bourque (internal examiner) Prof Ian Loader (external examiner) Abstract 9/11 changed the face of maritime transport that is responsible for moving 80% of everything we consume. Ports are vital hubs in that maritime transport and any disruption there instantly affects global trade. To protect the global supply chain from crime and terrorism, both must be disrupted locally in the port by port police and security officers that are responsible for port security at operational level. Public and critical criminological attention to these key security actors, however, is virtually non-existent. This thesis therefore explores how their occupational realities and identities are (re)established in two major European ports, by providing an ethnographic account. To do so, the thesis builds on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg between 2011 and 2012, during which everyday policing and security work has been documented, followed by a thematic analysis. The key argument runs thus: the port is a local space for the global trade, which is underappreciated and underestimated by the public, and has its police and security professionals in place both aboard and on shore who protect and defend that vital trade site. The aggressive commercialist governmentality that goes on behind that vital global trade is unwillingly yielded to by these guardians but not without any bottom-up resistance.

It contains a brief further statement by me plus an ACT Legislative Assembly Hansard detailing 2 petitions to the ACT Legislative Assembly which may be pertinent to the Committee's discussion with any ACT Government representatives. Dr Michael Crawford Community Attitudes to Wind Farms Dr Michael Crawford 14th May 2015 SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON WIND TURBINES SUBMISSION – COMMUNITY ATTITUDES Community Attitudes to Wind Farms It is common for wind farm proponents to cite surveys that claim support for wind farms gathered in vague terms and then purport to use such surveys to support the establishment of wind farms in specific locations. In fact many people have far more careful views about wind farms that include the conditions under which they believe they should be established and operated. Many individuals who support wind farms in principle nonetheless accept they should not be established in ways likely to harm neighbours. An example is provided by a petition submitted to the ACT Legislative Assembly on 16th September 2014 by Ms Nicole Lawder. The text of the petition (Petition No 16-14) as reported in the Hansard of the Legislative Assembly for the ACT (copy attached), p 2688, is as follow: To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory.
