The participation of women employed in traditionally male dominated occupations including plumbing: 1975–2013
No full textAuthor Garry Cruickshank investigates the gender gap in New Zealand’s plumbing profession. Having established that the proportion of female plumbers is almost unchanged since 1975, Cruickshank compares this information with data gathered from other trades and exposes the widespread nature of this trend across traditionally male dominated industries. The author reflects on what could to be done to alter this situation
The Pipeline of Enrichment: Supporting Link Creation for Continuous Media
No full textThe application of open hypermedia to temporal media has previously been explored with respect to the link service, in particular link delivery and generic linking. This paper is based on the notion of continuous metadata, in which we use metadata in a temporally significant manner to capture and convey the information required to support linking. With a focus on link creation and live processing, our approach enriches hypermedia content with additional metadata at a number of points between capture and delivery. We illustrate this approach with a tool which assists metadata capture by annotation of continuous media according to a simple ontology
Co-design:A report on collaboration between older people and students of architecture
No full text‘Co-design’ is emerging as an important approach in architectural and urban design (Al-Kodmany, 1999) which diversifies stakeholder participation and representation (Cruickshank et al., 2013). The risks and benefits will vary depending on how different stakeholders engage. ‘Mobility, Mood and Place’ explores how places can be designed collaboratively to make pedestrian mobility easy, enjoyable and meaningful for older people. The built environment often excludes marginalised groups such older people, single mothers and others with special needs. Participatory co-design approaches can include such stakeholders so as to address their priorities and ensure that other stakeholders empathise with their perspective (Scott, 2011). This can enhance students’ methodological flexibility and empathy (Chivers; 2015). This paper reflects evaluatively on architecture students’ experiences, together with older adults, (including stroke-survivors and those with dementia) in co-design and co-production research on age-friendly environments.

Smashed avocado: a property market advice manual for millennial women
No full textThis article contributes to literature on housing affordability and the ways in which neoliberalism has inflected debates related to the issue through a textual analysis of the property market advice manual, Smashed Avocado: How I Cracked the Property Market and You Can Too by Australian author, [Haddow, Nicole. 2019. Smashed Avocado: How I Bought Into the Property Market and You Can Too. Carlton: Nero]. The text is significant in demonstrating the mediation of neoliberal constraints via self-help/how-to property guides which orient millennials’ inwards, presenting a reading of ‘the self’ as problem and solution, while leaving market orthodoxies undisturbed. In highlighting discourses of individualism, self-responsibility, internalised governmentality, and the classed subjectivities offered in the text, this paper extends existing knowledge by mapping the convergence of neoliberal sensibilities with housing-related self-help literature targeting millennial women. While Smashed Avocado elides classed inequalities between women, and operates within the logics of capitalism, it nonetheless an important site of analysis for thinking through mediated geographies of millennial’s evolving relationship to housing unaffordability in the Australian market.No Full Tex
Making interactive TV easier to use : interface design for a second screen approach
No full textInteractive television (iTV) has the potential to revolutionize the way we consume broadcast media, but users still find both the notion of iTV and the services currently available problematic. This paper describes a project that investigates a representative group of users' aspirations, and barriers to iTV service engagement in the UK. This primary research informed the development of new User Interface (UI) and service solutions that addressed these barriers. Specifically, a second screen solution was developed to remove the need for iTV services to use on-screen graphics, dramatically improving the possibilities for effective interaction and navigation for iTV interfaces and services. The effectiveness of these solutions was evaluated through the testing of these new iTV services in a representative group of family homes
