The Meagre Harvest This book is exciting! In The Meagre Harvest Gisela Kaplan canvasses the practical, social, cultural and political aspects of the Australian women’s movement over the last quarter century with candour and refreshing frankness. She does not resile from making the hard statements and appropriate criticisms where those are due. At the same time though she acknowledges fully the very positive and unique contributions that the Australian women’s movement has made to shaping the debate, both at home and abroad, around such issues as egalitarianism, equality, discrimination, identity: credit where it is due. It is down-to-earth, yet academic; concrete, yet abstract. In other words it is the most balanced perspective of the Australian women’s movement over the past twenty-five years that one could read, and be provoked and challenged.

Most continue to be fuelled by conflict, but it is not always as clear as it was in 1970 what these conflicts are ultimately meant to achieve. I believe that, partly for this reason, it is time to ask what has been achieved and what remains to be done. But before such analysis can even begin, we need to know what has happened. Those who were part of the Australian women’s movement from the very start still have only their personal, anecdotal experiences and, of course, there are now at least two generations of young women to whom the 1970s are merely history. I therefore thought it vital to write an account that offered a wide-ranging view of the social context (1950s–1990s) of the new Australian women’s movement.

DESCRIPTORS Educational Attainment; Educational Attitudes; *Educational Policy; Equal Education; *Federal Government; *Feminism; Foreign Countries; Government Role; Higher Education; Policy Formation; *Political Issues; *Public Policy; Public Sector; Theories IDENTIFIERS *Australia; *Feminist Scholarship ABSTRACT This essay discusses the effects of feminism on educational policy in Australia and the role of feminist educators in developing and implementing the feminist agenda. It also examines the conditions framing Australian feminist work in education. The essay reviews the gains that girls and women have made in educational attainment and employment, as well as the challenges that remain. The paper goes on to examine Australian feminism's engagement with the state, focusing on the increasing role of feminists within government and policy-making bodies and the development of feminist theories. It then discusses macro-state agendas, such as economic rationalism, educational equity, and teacher education. The paper also reviews micro-political issues, such as feminist reform through regulation and accountability, naming and visibility issues, and the problems created by the growing "sophistication" of feminism in Australia.

  • Breathing in Art, Breathing out Poetry: Contemporary Australian Art and Artists As a Source of Inspiration for a Collection of Ekphrastic Poems
    Breathing in art, breathing out poetry: Contemporary Australian art and artists as a source of inspiration for a collection of ekphrastic poems. Erin Shiel A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2016 Abstract: During the course of this Master of Arts (Research) program, I have written The Spirits of Birds, a collection of thirty-five ekphrastic poems relating to contemporary Australian art. The exegesis relating to this poetry collection is the result of my research and reflection on the process of writing these poems. At the outset, my writing responded to artworks viewed in galleries, in books and online. Following the initial writing period, I approached a number of artists and asked if I could interview them about their sources of inspiration and creative processes. Six artists agreed to be interviewed. The transcripts of these interviews were used in the writing of further poetry. The interviews also provided an insight into the creative processes of artists and how this might relate to the writing of poetry. The exegesis explores this process of writing. It also examines the nature of ekphrasis, how this has changed historically and the type of ekphrastic poetry I have written in the poetry collection. In analysing the poems and how they related to the artworks and artists, I found there were four ways in which I was responding to the artworks: connecting to a symbolic device in the artwork, exploring the inspiration or creative process of the artist, drawing out a life experience or imagined narrative through the artwork and echoing the visual appearance of the artwork in the form of the poem.

She is currently of memory (Rowbotham, 13). But the production of any history of the second wave Australian women’s researching the 1983 Pine Gap movement, that is, as a political movement and a new social movement – and in particular accounts of Women's Peace Camp before it the role of activists within that movement – is intimately connected to the movement’s archival legacy; in disappears from archived memory. short, the possibilities for writing that history depend on the nature and quality of the records and sources Maryanne Dever is Director of the that have been preserved. However, as Deborah Cherry notes, ‘what is recorded, preserved, or printed Centre for Women’s Studies & depends on the interest, politics and prejudices of those who control and determine what is of historical Gender Research at Monash value’.

  • Political in the Visual Arts Catriona Moore and Catherine Speck
    CHAPTER 5 How the personal became (and remains) political in the visual arts Catriona Moore and Catherine Speck Second-wave feminism ushered in major changes in the visual arts around the idea that the personal is political. It introduced radically new content, materials and forms of art practice that are now characterised as central to postmodern and contemporary art. Moreover, longstanding feminist exercises in ‘personal-political’ consciousness-raising spearheaded the current use of art as a testing ground for various social interventions and participatory collaborations known as ‘social practice’ both in and outside of the art gallery.1 Times change, however, and contemporary feminism understands the ‘personal’ and the ‘political’ a little differently today. The fragmentation of women’s liberation, debates around essentialism within feminist art and academic circles, and institutional changes within the art world have prompted different processes and expressions of personal-political consciousness-raising than those that were so central to the early elaboration of feminist aesthetics. Moreover, the exploration and analysis of women’s shared personal experiences now also identify differences among women—cultural, racial, ethnic and class differences—in order to 1 On-Curating.org journal editor Michael Birchall cites examples such as EVA International (2012), the 7th Berlin Biennial and Documenta 13 that reflect overt and covert political ideas. Birchall outlined this feminist connection at the Curating Feminism symposium, A Contemporary Art and Feminism event co-hosted by Sydney College of the Arts, School of Letters, Arts and Media, and The Power Institute, University of Sydney, 23–26 October 2014. 85 EVERYDAY REVOLUTIONS serve more inclusive, intersectional cultural and political alliances.

We are very happy that you have taken this opportunity to learn, share, contribute, and grow with us as individuals and then extend this to not only your home institutions, but also to the larger realms of honors education and higher education. The conference topics of disruption and creativity are meant to challenge us to think, question, and act: all intrinsic to honors education globally. What better place to congregate and explore these concepts than New Orleans, a city that exemplifies them perfectly. With the diverse members of the honors community— students, faculty, administrators and administrative staff—the myriad of perspectives and experiences upon which we can draw, and the setting, we have something for everyone (from first-time attendees to veterans). Mindful that conference can be as exhausting as it is exhilarating (disruption and learning take energy!), we have added some opportunities to regain balance with networking receptions, Brain Breaks, morning yoga, and explorations of our amazing host city. We are excited that you have taken time from your busy schedules to spend the next few days with your extended honors family.
