    #TransJusticeSyllabus Sociologists for Trans Justice 2017-2018 Compiled by: Committee for Advancing Trans and Intersex Studies in Academia (Megan Nanney, Jaclyn Tabor, Anne Marie Champagne, Chris Barcelos, Emmanuel David, Xan Nowakowski, Vicky Demos, James Dean, Anima Adjepong, Jacob Sargent, Rhea Hoskin, Kalani Seaver) Contact Information: Should you want to contribute to the syllabus or have any questions, please contact the committee chairs, Megan Nanney ([email protected]) and Jaclyn Tabor ​ ​ ([email protected]). You can also send suggestions to ​ ​ [email protected]. ​ About the Syllabus: In society today, we are presented with a paradox of sorts: on one hand, there have been significant social and political advances regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. Yet, on ​ ​ the other hand, with increasing visibility and progress, there is also a simultaneous and almost inevitable increase in the backlash targeting the most vulnerable segments of the LGBTQ population--trans and non-binary people. In 2017 alone, the Human Rights Campaign has recorded at least 27 death of trans people in the United States due to fatal violence, making it the most violent year against trans people to date. It is also clear that trans violence and oppression disproportionately affects trans women of color, and that racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia intersect in ways that shorten the lives of trans people (Spade 2015). Additionally, trans people experience social, economic, and political marginalization due to the lack of legal representation, barriers to gender-affirming healthcare, legal name and gender changes, physical spaces, and other seemingly neutral administrative systems that enforce narrow binary categories of gender and force people into them in order to get their basic needs met.

  • An Historical Analysis of the Contribution of Two Women's
    They did what they were asked to do: An historical analysis of the contribution of two women’s religious institutes within the educational and social development of the city of Ballarat, with particular reference to the period 1950-1980. Submitted by Heather O’Connor, T.P.T.C, B. Arts, M.Ed Studies. A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of PhD. School of Arts and Social Sciences (NSW) Faculty of Arts and Sciences Australian Catholic University November, 2010 Statement of sources This thesis contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or in part from a thesis by which I have qualified for or been awarded another degree or diploma. No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgment in the main text of the thesis. This thesis has not been submitted for the award of any degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. All research procedures in the thesis received the approval of the relevant Ethics/Safety Committees. i ABSTRACT This thesis covers the period 1950-1980, chosen for the significance of two major events which affected the apostolic lives of the women religious under study: the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), and the progressive introduction of state aid to Catholic schools, culminating in the policies of the Whitlam government (1972-1975) which entrenched bi- partisan political commitment to funding non-government schools. It also represents the period during which governments of all persuasions became more involved in the operations of non-government agencies, which directly impacted on services provided by the churches and the women religious under study, not least by imposing strict conditions of accountability for funding.

  • Defining Labor: a Study of the Political Culture of the Victorian Labor Party, 1901-1921
    Defining Labor: a study of the political culture of the Victorian Labor Party, 1901-1921. Liam Byrne Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2016 Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne i Abstract Between 1901 and 1921 Victorian Labor played a crucial role in two episodes that defined the character of the Australian Labor Party. The first of these was the defeat of conscription, and subsequent party split, in 1916. The second was the acceptance by Labor of the socialisation objective in 1921. This thesis seeks to comprehend the dynamics that led to this contribution through analysis of its internal party life; Labor’s political culture. It does so by developing a unique analytical model to comprehend the party’s political culture that, it suggests, can be applied to similar parties of social-democracy/political labour elsewhere. This model is based upon important critiques of the concept of the bourgeois public sphere, and seeks to repudiate the essentialism dominant in many accounts of Labor. It identifies a series of creative processes within the party and broader labour movement of both an ideological and structural nature, utilising the historical developments of this era to demonstrate their operations. In particular, it argues that political labour was defined by a creative contestation between different sections competing for its political leadership: moderates and socialists. This was a contestation conducted by intellectuals of the movement. Through a detailed reading of the texts of party life, and a focus on its centres of power in major party conferences, it has identified James Scullin and John Curtin, both later Labor Prime Ministers, as representative intellectuals engaged in this creative contest.

  • Introduction
    Introduction “There is a soft sighing murmur in the room and one could easily imagine the spare forms to be automatic figures,” wrote a journalist in 1887 after observing the workers operating the Melbourne telephone exchange.1 Some 114 years later retired telephone exchange worker and union official, Joyce Williams, sounded a quite different note on the world and worldview of telephonists: “I just learnt that you’re never going to get change if you’re going to be tolerant. You’ve got to be totally intolerant about things to get change…”2 It is difficult to imagine two more discordant observations about the same subject. One, an outsider’s perspective recorded near the beginning of telephony’s existence, depicts a workforce somehow less than human, bereft of independent thought and action. The other, a view from the inside during manual telephony’s dying days, signifies a mood of belligerence common amongst telephonists of that time. Chronologically and thematically they would appear to represent the two magnetic poles of the telephonists’ history. Taken at face value they invite an understanding of this history as a movement from unconsciousness to consciousness, a slow class awakening, perhaps even a germination, to use Zola’s allegorical naturalism.3 Such a conception is not altogether flawed. There is no disputing that the telephonists of the 1980s were an altogether more organised and combative group than their counterparts from a century earlier. And certainly some of the militant operators of the latter period saw themselves as torch bearers of a new, higher stage in the union’s history.
