Foreword to The Organic Grower
No full textAudrey Windram is a living treasure of Australian organics. She has been ‘fighting the good fight’ to advance the cause of organics for the best part of half a century. When it comes to organics, Audrey leads by example. She has been living the organic life, variously as an organics pioneer, producer, evangelist, educator and author, all the while ‘practising what she preaches’ and preaching in the most gentle of ways. It is a delight to commend Audrey Windram’s latest book The Organic Grower on the fortieth anniversary of the publication of her first organics book. Organic Gardening originally appeared in 1975 as a Rigby Instant Book. It was a mass-market book distributed throughout Australia. The organics enterprise must continue to draw strength from the validity of its foundational premises and continue the fight which Lord Northbourne warned in 1940 may be a fight lasting “for many decades, perhaps for centuries”. In The Organic Grower Audrey Windram brings together four publications, Organic Gardening, the two volumes of Meet the Organic Farmer, together with Ways of Being Organic. Enjoy it
Trousers and tiaras : growing up with Audrey Hepburn
Get PDFThis thesis considers the construction and circulation of the image-text 'Audrey
Hepburn', and its reception by young British women across two moments: the
1950s and 1960s, and the 1990s. The project uses a tripartite methodology: close
analysis of film texts, press and publicity relating to Hepburn; archival research
using sources including women's and film fan magazines, and interviews with
women who admire and have admired Audrey Hepburn. The thesis argues that
Hepburn can be understood as a star who offers an address to a feminine
audience, and goes on to explore the taking up of that address through analysis of
the data gathered in the interviews, paying particular attention to questions of
class, generation and socio-historical moment. The research presents a number of
different kinds of material: it considers Hepburn as a star and the reasons for her
enduring popularity; it suggests the flexibility of her image as key in
understanding this longevity and in enabling her to appeal to women across lines
of class and generation. The thesis argues that it is this flexibility, and the ways in
which Hepburn's image manages social contradictions, which have been key to
the way consent has been secured from women around her as a star. It
investigates the nature of the relationship between Hepburn and the women who
admire her, and also, through their detailed talk, offers insight into the social
history of femininity. In attending to both text and audience, the thesis attempts
to think the relationship between them outside psychoanalytically informed
theories of identification which have been hegemonic in film theory, offering
instead the terms resonance and recognition as ways of understanding that
relationship. An interdisciplinary project, the thesis represents a 'cultural studies
of film' which extends existing work on stars such as Dyer (1979,1982,1986,
1991) and Stacey (1994)

Audrey Heumann Regen \u2756 (BardCorps)
No full textAudrey Heumann Regen returned to Bard in 2001 for her 45th reunion. Regan was a high achieving high-school student with a nagging case of test anxiety who came to Bard for its unorthodox philosophy and strong arts curriculum. She remembers Buzz Gummere admitting her because of her wide range of interests. Her senior project advisor was Dorothy Dulles Bourne, and her project focused on the educational theories of John Dewey.
She recalls a tradition where Eleanor Roosevelt would come to Bard every Christmas season to read Dickens\u27 A Christmas Carol to the students. One year, a fellow student, a polio survivor, wanted to honor Mrs. Roosevelt by opening the door for her. Audrey remembers this as a poignant moment, watching Mrs. Roosevelt give him time because she knew the effort this took.
Regen remembers Bard as a much smaller place, with 250 students and only a few established buildings. She describes the quality as ‘homey’ or ‘hamish’ with students congregating at the little coffee shop in Stone Row. It was a very wholesome and healthy isolation, that you could concentrate without a great many distractions, on your studies. At the same time, she describes Bard\u27s reputation during her day as a wild place, with strange clothing, wild behaviors, and a great deal of sexual experimentation.
Campus jobs for Audrey included delivering the mail to faculty, and in one instance, tutoring a professor’s child in reading, Erica DeGre (now Rikki Ducornet).
Regen also remembers attending a synagogue in Poughkeepsie for Jewish holidays. Students later decided to hold ceremonies for Jewish High Holy Days on campus.
She continues to show support for the college saying: “Bard took a chance on me, and I would always be here for Bard.”
Audrey H. Regen passed away on May 30, 2017.https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/oral_hist/1031/thumbnail.jp
