Still clad in my mortar board, gown and stole, and clutching my graduation teddy bear, I watched as the delightfully energetic, imaginative and enthusiastic young Anne arrives at the train station in Avonlea, desperately anxious to stay with her prospective new foster parents. "Who wouldn't want to live there with all those green hills, the blossoming apple trees, and quaint weatherboard farmhouse," I thought, knowing full well that as a foster kid I had longed for Anne's life. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert had decided to take on an orphanage boy whose job it would be to assist the ageing Matthew on the farm. Since Anne had been mistakenly sent to the farm instead, her future hangs in the balance for a time until, appalled by stories of brutality and over work that little Anne had experienced in orphanages and foster care, Marilla finally agrees with Matthew and the pair adopt the child.Item Metadata only A tale of two cities: auto plant closures and policy responses in Birmingham and Adelaide (Editorial)(Routledge, 2008) Beer, A.; Thomas, H.Item Metadata only Abject Relations: Everyday Worlds of Anorexia(Rutgers University Press, 2010) Warin, M.Abject Relations presents an alternative approach to anorexia, long considered the epitome of a Western obsession with individualism, beauty, self-control, and autonomy. Through detailed ethnographic investigations, Megan Warin looks at the heart of what it means to live with anorexia on a daily basis. Participants describe difficulties with social relatedness, not being at home in their body, and feeling disgusting and worthless. For them, anorexia becomes a seductive and empowering practice that cleanses bodies of shame and guilt, becomes a friend and support, and allows them to forge new social relations. © 2010 by Rutgers University Press.

This paper examines recent South Australian State government policy and planning settings aimed at increasing residential population and housing affordability in the city’s CBD. It is largely acknowledged that, for many Australians, detached suburban housing is the preferred lifestyle option. Further, there is a perception that vertical living is costly and provides insufficient social benefits. For Federal and State governments reorienting urban populations towards high density vertical living is considered one of a number of key strategies in dealing with population flow, and burgeoning urban infrastructure and housing costs. In 2010 the State government released ‘The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide’. The Plan outlined future challenges for the city: population growth, the economy, climate change and how Adelaide can grow to meet these challenges through shifting away from an over-reliance on traditional Greenfield residential development to urban infill and high density living in the CBD. The release of the Plan has coincided with a significant decline in new housing construction activity within the metropolitan Adelaide. Against this backdrop a critical evaluation of the changes, challenges and opportunities for increasing multi-level living in the city’s CBD is offered.Item Open Access Adaptive capacity: A qualitative study of midlife Australian women's resilience during COVID-19(Elsevier, 2022) Huppatz, E.; Lunnay, B.; Foley, K.; Miller, E.; Warin, M.; Wilson, C.; Olver, I.; Ward, P.This article explores adaptive capacity as a framework for understanding how South Australian women in midlife (aged 45–64) demonstrated resilience during the early phases of COVID-19. In-depth interviews were undertaken with 40 women mid-2020 as a follow-up study to interviews with the same women undertaken 2018–19 (before COVID-19 emerged). Transcripts were analysed following a critical realist approach using Grothmann and Patt's construct of adaptive capacity as a framework for analysis. This enabled authors to unpack the mechanisms of resilience that shaped women's experiences of appraising, and then showing an intention to adapt to COVID-19 adversity. Findings support the explanatory utility of adaptive capacity to understand resilience processes in the context of person-environment changes – the environment being the COVID-19 context – and women's capability to adapt to social distancing and lockdown conditions. With COVID-19 evoking health, social and economic challenges at incomparable scales, potentially fracturing mental stability, this article provides insight useful to policy makers and health professionals to support resilience as the pandemic continues.Item Metadata only Against the odds: Care leavers at University(Peoples Voice Publishing, 2015) Michell, D.; Tonkin, C.; Jackson, D.; Michell, D.; Jackson, D.; Tonkin, C.Item Metadata only Agenda 21: Bioethics, global warming, and the Muslim world(Eubios Ethics Institute, 2006) Saniotis, A.; Nazif, A.Item Metadata only Alcohol and flourishing for Australian women in midlife: a qualitative study of negotiating (un)happiness(SAGE Publications, 2021) Foley, K.; Warin, M.; Meyer, S.; Miller, E.; Ward, P.This article responds to calls for empirically grounded and critically analytical research on the sociology of happiness. We explore how 35 Australian women in midlife (45–64 years) navigate alcohol use in the context of gendered lifecourses. In response to emerging themes around happiness in and through alcohol consumption during inductive analysis, data were re-analysed using neo-Aristotlean notions of flourishing. This illuminated alcohol consumption for women in midlife vis-á-vis moment-in-time pleasure, lifecourse happiness and management of gendered constraints. Drawing on Ahmed’s concepts of ‘affective economies’ and ‘happiness and unhappiness archives’ we contemporise Aristotle’s notion of flourishing and argue that changing structures of feeling for women in midlife give rise to differing emotions that attach to alcohol use. Understanding the affective reasons for alcohol consumption among this population provides new avenues to think about how alcohol consumption is purposed by women to make and make do with (un)happiness during midlife.Item Metadata only All change, still gendered: The Australian Labour Market in the late 1990's(1998) Pocock, Barbara A.Item Metadata only Altered state governments and vampire economics(Centre for Labour Studies/Social Justice Research Foundation, 1995) Broomhill, R.; Spoehr, J.
