Profile
My research is broadly concerned with the relationship between spatial and social change, particularly through cultural histories of domesticity and urban space. I've also published in the area of transnationalism and border theory.
I have also been a producer and presenter in community radio since I first did a late-night radio show on 2NUR in 1990, and continue to be involved in community media as a board member of the Newcastle-based media collective, the Octapod: http://www.octapod.org/.
Current Research Agenda
I am currently working on a set of projects which build on feminist critiques of the public sphere and seek to develop innovative, historically informed ways of looking at contemporary media forms. My research uses audio archives, policy documents and interviews to map cultural histories of media. My current project, being developed as a monograph, provides the first comparative history of women's public service radio programming in Canada and Australia via correspondence and audience research, scripts and listeners' letters.
I am member of the ARC's Cultural Research Network, and through this framework have been developing an interdisciplinary, collaborative project on the cultural literacies and technologies of 'listening' with Tanja Dreher and Penny O'Donnell (UTS) and Kate Crawford and Gerard Goggin (USYD): http://www.uq.edu.au/crn/about.html
Since 2005, I have been involved an international collaboration with The Free University in Berlin, which has been funded through the ARC International Linkage program and hosted by the Centre for Cultural Research at UWS (CI: Dr Fiona Allon). The collaboration, titled 'Open Cities: Cultural Articulations of Citizenship in Berlin and Sydney' has been developed through workshops in Berlin in September 2006. During October 2007 German researchers will visit Sydney for further research workshops and a symposium titled 'Liquid Cities'. One of the project's key aims is to explore the cultural dimensions of citizenship in both cities, and this will result in a special issue of the journal Space and Culture in 2008.
