Mary Carpenter: Her father's daughter?
No full textThis thesis consists of four thematic chapters showing Mary Carpenter (1808-1877) as an example of a Unitarian educational reformer who carved for herself a respectable public life at a time when the emphasis was on separate spheres for women. Mary's significance has recently become more widely broadcast, although her place as a leading pedagogue in educational history still needs to be asserted. As the title suggests, a primary concern will be to examine the influence that Lant Carpenter had on his daughter throughout her life. The first chapter examines Unitarianism, the life of Lant Carpenter, philanthropy in Bristol and the activities that Mary was involved with during her early life as a school teacher. This chapter also considers the education of middle-class girls together with the relationships between fathers and daughters in the period. The second chapter investigates the early anti-slavery campaigns in England focusing on the movement in Bristol. Mary's participation in the anti-slavery movement in England and America is examined together with the activities of the Bristol and Clifton Ladies Antislavery Society. The third chapter considers juvenile delinquency in England at mid-century, together with Mary's involvement in the formation of reformatory schools for the perishing and dangerous classes', as well as her involvement with the drafting of the Juvenile Offenders Act of 1854. Mary was the first woman to speak publicly at the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science, and this aspect of her life is examined. The fourth chapter discusses Rammohun Roy's visit to Bristol in 1833 together with Mary's later commitment to help her Indian friends bring education to the women of India. Mary's four visits to India are examined together with her influential book and the formation of the National India Association. The conclusion considers how the seriousness of her religious beliefs gave Mary the strength to challenge the orthodoxies of the day for females and step out of the prescribed role for women: her career is a cautionary tale underlining the obstacles women faced in their encounters with the Victorian state
Beyond Brigden: Australia's Inter-War Manufacturing Tariffs, Real Wages and Economic Size
No full textPre-depression Australia maintained a protectionist regime directed at expanding the economy and accommodating immigration. The 1929 Brigden Report recognised that industrial protection would benefit workers and that it might also foster expansion. Although Brigden's wage thesis mirrors the subsequent Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson and specific factors models, it has more advanced elements than either. We demonstrate the comparative failings of the latter models and show that the Brigden thesis requires a model with mobile capital, differentiated products, a non-traded sector and a specific factor. This model suggests that protection might indeed have promoted immigration, capital inflow and overall economic expansion in Australia
Tobacco Control Policy Control Policy : Strategies Successes and Setbacks
No full textThis publication was commissioned and
published in the hope that descriptions of strategies,
successes, and setbacks in promoting stronger tobacco
control policies around the world would be of wide interest
and might be useful to people grappling with similar issues.
As participants in academic, advocacy, and policy meetings
on tobacco control, we have been struck by the impact of
real-life stories and examples. We have been educated and
edified by many excellent presentations and discussions of
the principles, practice, and impact of tobacco control
policy - but what we remember most clearly, long after, are
the stories. We have seen rooms come alive with interest and
crackle with energy when people who had been at the center
of efforts to develop tobacco control policy related their
experiences. The case studies in this book are addressed to
a wide set of readers who share an interest in health issues
and policy - people in non-governmental organizations,
community activists, scientists, decision-makers, health
officials, and members of the public. Each story is set in
the unique historical, cultural, and political environment
of a particular country, but there are common threads and
shared lessons that can be applied and adapted in many other
countries and circumstances
Radical theatre mobility: Unity Theatre, UK, and the New Theatre, Australia
No full textFor two radical theatres formed in the 1930s, taking performances to their audiences was an important dimension of commitment to working-class politics and civic engagement. Separated by distance but joined ideologically, the New Theatre in Australia and Unity Theatre in the United Kingdom engaged in what they described as ‘mobile work’, as well as being ‘stage curtain’ companies. Based on archival research and drawing on mobility literature, Cathy Brigden and Lisa Milner examine in this article the rationale for mobile work, the range of spaces that were used both indoor (workplaces, halls, private homes) and outdoor (parks, street corners beaches), and its decline. Emerging from this analysis are parallels between the two theatres’ motivation for mobile work, their practice in these diverse performance spaces, and the factors leading to the decline. Cathy Brigden is an associate professor in the School of Management and Deputy Director, Centre for Sustainable Organizations and Work at RMIT University, Australia. Her current research interests include the historical experiences of women in trade unions, gender in performing arts industries, and union strategies and regulation. Lisa Milner is a lecturer in the School of Arts and Social Sciences at Southern Cross University, Coffs Harbour, Australia. Current research interests include a comparative study of workers’ theatre, representations of workers and trade unions on screen, and labour biography

Evidence that viral abundance across oceans and lakes is driven by different biological factors
No full text1. Samples from 16 lakes in central ( n = 145) and western ( n = 12) North America, the coastal northeast Pacific ( n = 302) and the western Canadian Arctic Oceans ( n = 142) were collected and analysed for viral, bacterial and cyanobacterial abundances and chlorophyll- a concentration. 2. Viral abundance was significantly different among the environments. It was highest in the coastal Pacific Ocean and lowest in the coastal Arctic Ocean. The abundances of bacteria and cyanobacteria as well as chlorophyll- a concentrations also differed significantly among the environments, with both bacterial abundance and chlorophyll- a concentration highest in lakes. As a consequence, the association of these variables with viral abundance varied among the environments. 3. Discriminant analyses with the abundance data indicated that the marine and freshwater environments were predictably different from each other. Multiple-regression analysis included bacterial and cyanobacterial abundances, and chlorophyll- a concentration as significant variables in explaining viral abundance in lakes. In regression models for the coastal Pacific Ocean, bacterial and cyanobacterial abundances were significant variables, and for the coastal Arctic Ocean viral abundance was predicted by bacterial abundance and chlorophyll- a concentration. 4. The relationship of viral and bacterial abundance differed between the investigated freshwater and marine environments, probably because of differences in viral production and loss rates. However, freshwaters had fewer viruses compared to bacteria, despite previously documented higher burst sizes and frequencies of infected cells, suggesting that loss rates may be more important in lakes. 5. Together, these findings suggest that there are different drivers of viral abundance in different aquatic environments, including lakes and oceans.
